Standings

Golf league standings that work themselves out.

Pick how your league awards points once. Every night after that, the results, points and season standings follow from the scores, and every golfer can check where they stand.

Points systems it supports

System	How it works	Good for
Field size minus place	1st of 12 gets 12 points, 2nd gets 11, last gets 1	Leagues where turning up every week should count
Points table	Your own points for 1st, 2nd, 3rd…; places past the table get 0	Leagues that only reward the top finishers
No points	Rank by score only	Stroke-play leagues and season-long low net

Points can be by flight (golfers are ranked against their own flight) or across the whole field. See golf league points systems for the trade-offs.

Ties

Split: two golfers tied for 2nd of 12 share the points for 2nd and 3rd, 10.5 each. This is what most spreadsheets do.
Share the best: both get the points for 2nd.

Season standings

Total points, nights played, average net and best net for each golfer.
Count every night, or only each golfer’s best nights (best 10 of 16, say), so a missed week isn’t fatal.
Ties in the standings break on average net or best net.
A finished season keeps its own rules: changing next year’s format never rewrites last year’s champion.

Who sees the standings

Everyone in the league sees the standings in the app as soon as a night is posted. A league can also have a public or link-only page with its standings and each night’s results, and put the standings on its own website with an embed. Those pages show golfers as first name and last initial by default and never show contact details.

Questions

Can the standings count only a golfer’s best nights?

Yes. Set how many nights count, and each golfer’s best nights by points are the ones totalled.

Can we rank net and gross?

A league ranks each night by net or by gross. Net is gross minus the handicap the golfer played with that night, at the allowance your league uses.
