Dynamic Live Scores in Landscape Mode

Enhancing the How Many Strokes Info Board with Dynamic Content

We are excited to introduce a powerful new feature for the How Many Strokes Info Board: dynamic content display in landscape mode. This upgrade allows the board to showcase live scores, start lists, and other web-based information seamlessly. Whether you need real-time updates from external systems or scheduled content for upcoming events, this enhancement provides greater flexibility and control.

Key Features of Dynamic Content Display

Seamless Planning and Automation

One of the standout features of this update is the ability to schedule content in advance. Whether it’s a leaderboard for a tournament or an announcement for an upcoming event, you can pre-set what appears on the board and when. This ensures that the right information is displayed at the right time, without requiring manual updates throughout the day.

How It Works

  1. Choose Your Content: Select the live score feed, start list, or webpage you want to display.
  2. Set the Schedule: Define the date and time for the content to be shown.
  3. Go Live: Once scheduled, the info board will automatically update and display the selected content.

New Design on Conversion Table
27Oct

Improved Usability and design on the Conversion Table

We always strive to make your experience with the How Many Strokes Solution as seamless and intuitive as possible. Based on user feedback, we have made some key improvements to streamline the process of entering handicaps and navigating the app.

Simplifying the Handicap Allowance Button

We've observed that some users were accidentally pressing the "Handicap Allowance" button after entering their handicap in the Handicap Conversion Table. To solve this, we’ve made a simple change: the "Handicap Allowance" button will now disappear as soon as the player enters their handicap. This ensures there’s no confusion or accidental pressing of the button, making your setup quicker and easier.

Making Navigation More Intuitive

Another update we’ve made is to replace the "Next" button with a universally recognized symbol. This small tweak makes navigation clearer for everyone, regardless of language or familiarity with the app. We want each step to be instantly understood, ensuring you can enjoy your round of golf without a hitch.

Additionally, we've added a "Back" button to all pages, allowing you to easily navigate to previous screens whenever you need to adjust something. It’s all about making your journey smoother.

New Design on Conversion Table entry

Try It for Yourself

We’re excited about these changes, and we hope you are too! Head over to the screen, explore these new updates, and let us know what you think. Your feedback is invaluable as we continue to improve the experience for our users.

Happy golfing, and enjoy the improvements!

Handicap allowance
20Apr

Handicap Allowance calculator

Handicap allowances are created to ensure fairness across various formats of play, whether for 9 or 18 holes. These allowances are applied to the unrounded Course Handicap as the last step in determining a player’s Playing Handicap.

Select "Handicap allowance" in addition to the normal Course Handicap

When the Handicap allowance feature is enabled on the How Many Strokes Terminal, players will have an enhanced experience. In addition to calculating their usual Course Handicap, they will now have the option to use the Handicap allowance calculator. This added functionality allows players to more accurately determine their Playing Handicap by incorporating the appropriate allowances, ensuring a fair and balanced game across various formats of play. The new option provides a seamless and comprehensive way to manage handicaps, enhancing the overall user experience and promoting equity in the game.

Playing Handicap Allowances Table

To find the mandatory handicap allowances for all competition formats, select the playing format. This table includes the following competitions and their respective allowances:

  • Individual: 95%
  • Individual Stableford: 95%
  • Individual Par/Bogey: 95%
  • Individual Maximum Score: 95%
  • Fourball: 85%
  • Fourball Stableford: 85%
  • Fourball Par/Bogey: 90%
  • Foursomes: 50% of combined team handicap
  • Greensomes: 60% low handicap + 40% high handicap
  • Pinehurst/Chapman: 60% low hcp + 40% high hcp
  • Best 1 of 4 Stroke Play: 75%
  • Best 2 of 4 Stroke Play: 85%
  • Best 3 of 4 Stroke Play: 100%
  • All 4 of 4 Stroke Play: 100%

Options, mixed tee events and adjustments

After selecting the desired playing format from the Handicap Allowances Table, each player's handicap is entered into the system. This process is straightforward and ensures that all relevant data is accurately recorded. Depending on the chosen format and whether it is a mixed tee event with different pars for each tee, the option to select "Tee for Scoring" becomes available. This feature allows each player to select their individual tee and specify their gender, accommodating a wide range of participants and ensuring that everyone can play from the tee that best suits their abilities.

In mixed tee events, this customization is particularly important. It allows for a fair competition by letting each player select a tee that matches their skill level and preferences. For certain formats, an additional adjustment is made to account for differences in par between the tees. This adjustment ensures that the competition remains equitable, regardless of the variations in course layout and difficulty.

The system is designed to handle these adjustments seamlessly, providing players with an accurate Playing Handicap that reflects the specific conditions of the event. By considering factors such as tee selection and par differences, the system enhances the fairness and enjoyment of the game, allowing all participants to compete on a level playing field.

It begins with selecting the appropriate format from the Handicap Allowances Table, which outlines specific percentages and rules for various competitions such as Individual, Fourball, Foursomes, Greensomes, and Scramble.

Next, player information is entered into the system. This includes handicaps, and for mixed tee events, individual tee selections and gender specifications. Adjustments are made to account for differences in par between tees, ensuring equity across diverse playing conditions.

Once all details are inputted, the results are displayed on the "How Many Strokes" screen. This user-friendly interface provides a clear and concise summary of each player's Playing Handicap, incorporating all necessary allowances and adjustments.
