How scoring works

Every score on Sunday goes into the SEA Cup app on someone’s phone. In your group of four, each side keeps the other side’s two cards. Here’s how it works from the first tee to the last putt.

1. 1

   Start the round

   When the tournament starts, any player in your group taps Start round for the group. One tap starts it for all four of you.

   

2. 2

   Pick your scorer

   One player on each side keeps the other side’s two cards. The app picks one to begin with, and your partner can take over in the app at any time. Only one phone scores for a side at a time; if your partner takes over, your phone switches to view-only.

3. 3

   Enter both scores on every hole

   The Score tab shows the hole, its par and yardage, with a card for each opponent. Tap their score on the number strip, or use + and −. The chosen number slides to the middle so it’s always in view. The most anyone can take is double par + 2 (8 on a par 3, 10 on a par 4, 12 on a par 5); at that point they pick up.

   

4. 4

   Next hole

   The Next hole button at the bottom lights up once both scores are in. Until then it tells you whose score is missing. Scores save as you go; if you lose signal, they’re kept on the phone and sync when it comes back.

   Check the group card

   The Group card tab shows all four cards live, including yours as your opponents enter it. During play everyone sees score to par only; System 36 points and nets appear once every card in the tournament is in.

   Review and submit after 18

   Open Review, check each opponent’s card hole by hole (any missing hole is listed so you can fill it), then tap Submit. Each card goes straight to the tournament desk, which verifies it. Nobody needs to confirm their own card.
