LeagueChief handles up to 32 teams (64 players)

No problem, you simply create multiple Leagues in LeagueChief for the separate flights.

You can manage an unlimited number of Leagues.

No, at this time it manages leagues with 2 person teams.

It takes both the Slope and Rating into consideration in the calculation, and these are set at the specific Golf Course/Nine/Tees the player played.   It also has some User defined setup options to allow for maximum score to be allowed in the calculation (i.e. a Triple bogey), the last 'x' number of scores (i.e. 5), and also a "bring-down-factor" such as 75% of handicap if the player has a zero handicap and the handicap was just calculated for use in the week.

A form of competion where each hole is won, lost, or halved.  The winner is whoever wins the most holes.  In LeagueChief, each Team has an 'A' player and a 'B' player.  The lower handicapped player of the team is considered the 'A' player.  In a team match, the 'A' players play their match and the 'B' players play their match.  Points are awarded for each hole won, lost or tied and a bonus point can be awarded based on User Settings within LeagueChief.  This bonus point can be either: Most holes won, lowest gross, or lowest net score.... You determine it.

Yes, as long as you are on at least version 2.5.0 of LeagueChief you can play on a 9 hole Golf Course. If you are on an earlier version, please upgrade to the lastest version of LeagueChief.

Yes, as long as you are on at least version 2.5.0 of LeagueChief you can play on a 27 hole Golf Course. If you are on an earlier version, please upgrade to the lastest version of LeagueChief.

Yes, LeagueChief handles this situation when you have these really great players in your league. This is available starting in version 2.5.7.

"Pops" are just a slang term for "Strokes" (i.e. if one player in the match is a 5 handicap and the other player is a 7, the 1st player will give the 2nd player 2 "Pops". These will be on the 2 most difficult holes on the nine. (i.e. If playing the front nine, this will be the holes that have the handicap of "1" and "3", if playing the back nine, it will be the "2" and "4" holes.)

Make sure you are pressing the Save button to save data to the database. You select a record by clicking the Entire row in a Grid. Modify the data needed, then press the Save button.

If a player is a "No-Show", this means they didn't play, and they did not have a sub play for them. Simply click the "NS" button during data entry. LeagueChief has a number of options available to bring in historical scores, or automatically give a set number of points to the opponent. This can be set in Setup and would be based on your specific League's rules.

Sure, we suggest that you set up a Ghost Player in your phonebook. Then, assign this Ghost player to your Sub list for the league. In this situation, assign the "Ghost" sub as played for the no-show player. IMPORTANT: Then, during score entry, select the row from the grid, then click the "Edit Selected Players Handicap or A/B" setting" button from the toolbar. You can set this Ghost player's handicap to be the same as the player's handicap. This will simulate the situation where the Player plays both matches. The Team will accrue points, the Player will accrue the points they played, and the "Ghost" player will accrue the points for the other match. NOTE: The Ghost's handicap will calculate just like any other sub's handicap, so it's very important that you change the handicap when using this "sub".

Most Internet Service Providers should provide at least one free HomePage for their customers. i.e. you could call it something like: http://www.YourIsp.com/mygolfleague). Granted, it’s not a great www.mygolfleague.com website name, but if you wanted a www name, you would need to pay for the domain name and also pay someone to host it. Hit up the ISP help pages and see if you can get a home page. If you can’t, ask around in the league for any IT resources to help you out setting up that initial website. Someone will have a free website you can use. Once you get that set up, the publishing to it is easy as hitting the publish button from LeagueChief.

LeagueChief handles teams and/or players that play from different Tees with ease. You can set a default Tee for the League and override player(s) that play from different tees. You can even play from different Tees each week. The handicaps are calculated based on the Slope/Rating of the Course, Nine, Tee they played.

Yes, starting with version 2.5.0 your league can play any number of Golf Courses.

Yes, starting with version 2.5.0 you can set up any number of Scores for a Player that are considered Score History. These can be used in the beginning (and early part) of the season for making the Handicap Calculation. If you don't have score history, LeagueChief will back into handicaps based on the score.

The standard product only generates a website for the League's current year of data. You can modify the top.html file to link to other years if you wish. Customizing the standard website doesn't fall under the support plan. If you have custom needs, you can contract with us for development work. The current rate is $50.00 USD per hour.

We are always open to ideas for new reports. Let us know if you are looking for a specific report to fit your League's needs. In most cases we'll add them, in some cases if it is very specific to a league, we will do a cost-share for the development at the rate $30.00 USD per hour.

We suggest that you enter these as "Event" prizes in the Schedule Tab and manually calculate/track the winners. The "Event" prizes are entered by not including a hole number during prize entry.

Make sure you haven't compressed your files on your Harddrive. Navigate to the location where the database is stored (you will see it in the error message). It is probably in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Sql Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\". Right click on the lcGolf.mdb and view Properties / Advanced. Make sure the "Compress" and "Encrypt" checkboxes are not set. Also do this for the Log file (lcGolf_log.ldf).
