Read the leaderboard

Who's out in front, who's hanging on, and how many holes your playing partner has left to throw it all away — it's all there on the Leaderboard. Here you'll learn to read it at a glance, whether it's players, teams or a match.

1. Open it and choose what it shows

The picker open over an event's Leaderboard, ringed: its Competition list with the event's two competitions, and Bragging Rights beneath them.

Open the event and press Leaderboard among its sections. When there is more than one thing to show, the picker in the header chooses. Its Competition list names each competition, then, when the event has them, Your Rivals for your own series, Rivals in Play for any series with both players in this field, and Bragging Rights for the side contests. Series are explained in Rivals.

Bragging Rights chosen in the picker: the contests grouped under their kind, and one contest's card, ringed, with its name, the hole it is played on and the leader with their distance.

Choose Bragging Rights and the board gives way to the side contests, grouped by kind — Closest to the Pin, Longest Drive — with a card for each giving its hole, and the leader once someone is in.

2. Read the columns

A live leaderboard: the total column's heading numbered 1, the Thru heading numbered 2, and your own row, shaded blue, numbered 3.

Each row is a player. Pos is their place; press a name to open that player's card for the event. Gross and Nett are strokes before and after handicap, shown where the competition is not decided on that figure. The bold column ① is what it is decided on: Pts for Stableford, Nett or Gross for strokeplay, or Total when the event has more than one round. While the round is on, Thru ② is how many holes each player has played. Your own row ③ is shaded blue — pale blue, or a deep navy if you have Treád set to dark.

Your own name pressed on the leaderboard: your card for the event, ringed, opened beneath your row, with the round's holes, their par, and your gross, nett and points on each hole.

On a roaming round each player's course sits under their name, and you see the others only as far as you have played — see Play a roaming round and The reveal.

3. Places, ties, DNF and DNP

A finished leaderboard: the leader's row, with a gold bar at its edge and its trophy, numbered 1, a card ruled DNF numbered 2, and beneath the table the line saying the round awaits approval numbered 3 and the You finished line numbered 4.

The leader's row ① has a gold bar at its edge, and carries a trophy once the event is over. Players still level share a place, written with a T: T2 is joint second. DNF ② means the card did not finish: the organiser ruled it so, or, on a Gross or Nett competition, it was submitted before the last hole. It shows no figure and sits below everyone who did. On a points competition a short card keeps the points it has. Beneath the table, Winner determined by says how the competition is decided. Provisional — awaiting approval ③ means the organiser has yet to approve the round, and You finished ④ says where you came, unless you won. While the round is on it reads You're and your place as it stands.

DNP in place of a position means the organiser ruled that the player did not play: they are listed, with no position and no figure, and are out of every result. On an event of more than one round, DNP in a round's column means that round. If it is you, the line beneath the table reads Did not play.

A finished leaderboard with a player ruled Did not play on its last row: DNP in the Pos column beside their name, ringed, and a dash in place of each figure.
Two players level on points: under the first one's name, the countback result, ringed, saying which holes decided it.

A tie settled on countback says so under each name — Won on countback or Lost on countback, with the holes that decided it. A tie countback cannot settle reads Tied on countback.

The Countback breakdown open over the leaderboard, ringed: each tied player's score over the last holes, and the level that decided it.

Press the result for the Countback breakdown: each player's score over the last nine, six and three holes and the last hole, and the level that split them.

4. Switch the view

The buttons at the top of a live leaderboard, each ringed: Standings, chosen, numbered 1, and Hole by hole beside it, numbered 2.

Buttons at the top of the table switch the view. Standings ① is the table. While the round is on, Hole by hole ② charts the round as it goes.

Hole by hole chosen, numbered 1: the chart of the round, with Whole field and Your journey numbered 2 above it.

Whole field charts everyone's places hole by hole; Your journey charts your own round. Once the event is over, Step through the round under the table replays it — see Replay a round hole by hole.

5. The Pot view

An event with a pot: Pot chosen beside Standings at the top, numbered 1, and the column headed Pot, numbered 2, with each player's name and what they won.

When the event has a pot, Pot sits beside Standings. It is the same table, with the score column replaced by Pot: during the round, what each place pays as the scores stand; once the event is over, what each player won, with moved up beside a player who moved up a place because the one ahead took a better prize. A player outside the pot reads not in. Once the event is completed, Who pays whom › beneath the table opens settle up — see Play for the pot.

6. Team competitions

A team competition's leaderboard: the leading team's row with its colour dot numbered 1, and the total column's heading numbered 2.

On a team competition each row ① is a team, with its colour beside its name; press the name to open the team's card. The total column ② is the team's score. Your team's row is shaded blue in the same way, and beneath the table Your team finished says where it came, unless it won — Your team's and its place while the round is on.

A team's name pressed on a team competition's leaderboard: the team's card, ringed, opened beneath its row, with each player's scores hole by hole and the team's total.

7. Match play

A match-play leaderboard: the count of matches numbered 1, the first match's fourball number and format numbered 2, and the score between the two sides numbered 3.

Match play shows each match as one row. Above them ① is a count of the matches, how many are live and how many final. Each match's line ② gives its fourball's number and the format, and on the right whether it is Live or Final. Your side is marked YOU, and the side ahead is filled in colour. On a singles match, under each name are the shots that player gets off the low player, or scratch. Between them ③ is the score: 2 UP, A/S when all square, or 3&2 for a match won three up with two to play — and vs before it starts. Under the score, thru and a number counts the holes played, then the holes left to play, Dormie when a side is as many up as there are holes left, and Final when it is over, with a trophy for the winner.

A match pressed: its card opened beneath it, ringed, with each player's scores and the state of the match hole by hole.

Press a match to open its card beneath it, hole by hole. Press it again to close the card.

8. A team match

A finished team match: the first row, numbered 1, with the two teams and their points total; beneath it a round's heading, numbered 2, over that round's matches.

When two teams play a set of matches, the first row ① is the team match itself: the two teams and their points, such as 10½–7½, a half point written ½, and Final once it is decided. From the second round on, that round's own score sits under it. Below, every match counts in points, grouped by round ②; press one to open its card.

9. The leaderboard behind the score box

The hole bar at the foot of the scoring screen: the hole, its par and stroke index, a circle per hole, and the score box at its right end, ringed.

While you are scoring, press the score box at the right end of the hole bar.

Leaderboard opens first: each Player with their Gross, Nett, Pts and Thru so far, the gross to par in brackets beside it. A star before a gross, as in *(89), means it counts a hole that player picked up — see A hole you picked up.

The leaderboard the score box opens over the scoring screen: each player with their gross and nett, each to par in brackets, their points and how many holes they have played, and a gross with a star before it, ringed.
