Close out an outing

Closing out is the one finishing step. It locks scoring and publishes the results. It also updates competition and season standings, player and course statistics, and handicaps. If the outing hosts competition matches, it records them and updates their brackets.

How to close out an outing

  1. Open the outing and go to the Results & prizes tab.
  2. The Close-out panel at the top shows how many players are scored and a status such as Ready to close out.
  3. If there is a to review button, open it. Items marked in red must be fixed first, such as an open dispute, no scores at all or a halved knockout match. The rest, such as players with no score or ties, do not stop you.
  4. Check the prize sheet and winners.
  5. Press Close out outing.

There is no extra confirm: a Closed out message offers Reopen for ten seconds.

After close-out

  • Players' cards are read-only and the outing page shows the final results.
  • Share results offers an Outing summary for WhatsApp, the recap link, Put it on the TV and a results image.
  • To change anything, press Reopen outing. Scoring becomes editable and results are no longer final until you close out again.

If you forget, Parful closes it out for you about two days after the play day, once every card is submitted, a score is in and no hole is flagged. Managers get a notice.

Closing out needs a club manager or owner.
