Add players and handicaps

Add players

1. Open Players (or Teams, Players & teams, Players & sides).
2. Type a name, add a handicap in HCP if you use them, and tap + or press Enter.
3. To add many at once, paste a list (one player per line), or tap Import Excel or CSV.
4. Check the list and tap Add N players.

How a list is read

• One player per line, handicap after the name: `Sam Reyes 12`.
• No handicap after a name means no handicap: that player plays gross. 0, scr or scratch is scratch. +2 is a plus handicap.
• Bullets and numbering are ignored. Rows copied from Excel or Google Sheets work, with headers like Name, Player, First/Last, HCP or Index.
• Team games: put partners on one line, joined with `&`, `/`, `and` or `;`. They become a team automatically.
• Files: .xlsx, .csv, .tsv or .txt.

Teams playing one ball (Scramble or Alternate Shot) are added by team name, with a team handicap if you use one.

Fix names and handicaps

Tap Edit names & handicaps. Every player becomes a row. Changes save as you go. Renaming a player renames them everywhere in the event, so their scores and strokes stay with them.

To remove someone, tap × next to their name, then Remove. Their scoring link stops working, but any scores already entered stay on the leaderboard.
