Your questions, answered

No. Only the person who organises the game needs one. Everyone else taps the link they were sent and picks their name.

1. Tap the link from the email or your WhatsApp group.
2. When it asks “Who’s holding this phone?”, tap your name.
3. That’s it. You can see the scores and enter them.

An account is optional for players. It puts your name on the scores you enter and keeps your rounds across every group: More, then “Create an account”.

No. score70 runs in your phone’s web browser, so there is nothing to install and nothing to update. Open the link and it works.

Want an icon on your phone? See below: you can add it to your home screen.

Yes. There is no charge for organisers or players, no limit on players or rounds, and no adverts.

Only people with your group’s link. A new group is Private, so it can only be opened from the invite link the organiser shares, and groups are kept out of Google.

1. Organisers can check this on Players, under “Invite the group”: tap “How private is this?”.
2. If the link has gone somewhere it shouldn’t, tap “Reset invite link”. The old link stops working and you share the new one.

Yes. It works in any web browser: phone, tablet, laptop or desktop. It is laid out for a phone, so on a bigger screen it sits in the middle. Many organisers set up the day on a computer and score on their phone.

Open your group’s link once, then use your browser’s own menu. You then get a score70 icon that opens straight to your group.

1. iPhone (Safari): tap the Share button (the square with an arrow), then Add to Home Screen, then Add.
2. Android (Chrome): tap the three dots at the top right, then Add to Home screen or Install app.

Create the group once, add the players and the course, then set up each day. The first time takes about ten minutes; after that, a new day takes two.

1. Go to score70.com and tap “Create your trip page”. Make your account.
2. Under “Your group”, type its name, e.g. Saturday Roll-up. Add a “Name for this game or trip”, pick “Weekly season” for a regular roll-up, and tap “Create and get the link”.
3. On Players, add your players (see the next answer), then tap “Next: set up the day”.
4. Pick the course, the game and the groups, then tap “Start round”.
5. Send the link: on Players, under “Invite the group”, tap “Share trip link”.

Paste a list, or upload the club’s members file. You don’t have to type them one at a time.

1. Open Players and tap “Paste a list”.
2. Paste one player a line with the handicap last, like “Jim Doyle 14”. Then tap the Add button: it counts them for you, e.g. Add 15 players.
3. Got a spreadsheet from the club system? Tap “Upload a members file (CSV or Excel)” instead.
4. Next month, “Update handicaps from a file” brings everyone’s index up to date.

On Set up the day, each card is a group. Set the first tee time and the gap, and the groups are named Group 1 · 8:30, Group 2 · 8:38 and so on.

1. Tap Rounds, then “New round”. Under “The day”, tap “Change”, set the “First tee” and how many minutes apart (“Every”).
2. Tap “Draw groups” to make fours (with a three-ball if the numbers don’t divide), at random or balanced by handicap.
3. Have the club’s tee sheet? Tap “Import tee sheet”, paste it in, check the names and tap “Use these groups”.
4. Or tap “Add another group” and pick each group yourself. Then tap “Start 3 groups” (it counts them).

Setting up a later day? The button says Save instead of Start, e.g. Save Saturday’s 3 groups.

Tap “Same as last week” at the top of Set up the day. It copies last week’s game, course, groups and tee times, and sets the date to the same day next week.

1. Tap Rounds, then “New round”.
2. Tap “Same as last week” (it shows last week’s date). Swap anyone who isn’t playing, then tap Start, or Save for a day still to come.
3. Always play the same game? Set it up once and tap “Save as a house rule”. It is then one tap under “Your house rules”.

Yes, and it’s a good idea, so the group isn’t tied to one phone. Make them an organiser from the Players page.

1. Open Players and scroll to “Organisers”. Tap “Make someone an organiser”.
2. If they have a score70 account, tap “Make organiser” by their name.
3. If not, tap “Invite link” and send it to them. They sign up and they’re in.

Keep playing in the same group and the Leaderboard adds the weeks up. A season counts each player’s best 10 rounds unless you choose otherwise.

1. Starting a new group? Under “One-off game or trip, or a weekly season?”, tap “Weekly season”.
2. Already running? On the Leaderboard, tap “Boards” and set “It’s a” to “Season”.
3. To change how many count, tap “Counting” on the Stableford tab and pick, e.g., “Best 5” or “All rounds”.
4. For pairs or teams that play each other through the season, open “Weekly pairs or league teams” on Set up the day.

An organiser can put it in afterwards from the paper cards, hole by hole or just the totals. It goes on the table like any other week, marked as entered afterwards.

1. Open Rounds and tap “Add a missed week” (under the weeks).
2. Check the date: it starts on an earlier day, not today. Pick the course and who played, then “Hole by hole” or “Totals only”.
3. Tap “Next: type in the cards” (or the totals) and type them in.

Totals only counts on the table, but not for skins, birdies or the eclectic, because there are no holes.

Yes. Every player in the group has a row, and any phone can score any of them. Many groups have one scorer and the rest just watch the Leaderboard.

1. Open Rounds and tap your group.
2. Tap a player’s score once for par, then use − or + to change it.
3. When everyone’s in, tap “Hole 1 done · Next hole”.

If it says “Just watching”, tap “Score for someone”. Two phones scoring the same player? The latest tap wins.

Yes. Big scoring mode makes the scores and buttons much larger. score70 also follows your phone’s own text size.

1. On the scorecard, tap “Big” (the magnifier) at the top, or “Bigger text and buttons” under the players.
2. Pick a “Text size” if you want it bigger still. Tap “Normal size” to go back.

Keep scoring. Every tap is saved on your phone and sent by itself when you get a bar of signal again. Nothing is lost.

1. Open the group’s link once before you go out, with signal or Wi-Fi.
2. On the course, carry on as normal. The strip at the top says how many scores are waiting to send.

Anyone else in the group can carry on scoring on their phone: open the link, find the group and score from the hole you’re on. Scores your phone had already sent are safe. Any it hadn’t sent yet go when it’s charged and opened again.

Just change it. The newest score always wins.

1. Just tapped it? Tap “Undo”.
2. An earlier hole? Tap its number in the strip of holes, then use − or +.
3. Round already finished? Ask an organiser to “Reopen” it.

An organiser can stop scoring them and keep the holes they played. The rest of the group carries on, and the round finishes as normal without waiting for them.

1. Open the round, tap the pencil (“Edit round”) under “Round status”, then tap their name to take them off.
2. Tap the big “Stop scoring” button (it says, e.g., Stop scoring Paul – keep the 3 holes), then “Save changes”.
3. Their row on the other phones says they were taken off. Their holes still count for skins and birdies, but a part card doesn’t go on the Stableford table.

Knew before they teed off? Set them to “Front 9” under “Anyone only playing 9 holes?” and they get a proper 9-hole card.

A blob is a hole where you score no Stableford points, so you can pick up your ball. On the card it shows as an X, worth nothing.

1. Tap + until the points line shows the X (0 pts).
2. When it says “No need to count further — any more is still 0 pts”, stop.

In a medal every stroke counts, so put in your real score. A pick-up there is a no return.

When every hole is in, finish the round. score70 lays out each card like the paper one for you to check and sign.

1. Tap “All 18 holes in — Finish round” (or “Finish round” at the bottom, under “Round status”).
2. Under “Who’s signing?”, tap the marker’s name. Tap any hole to fix it.
3. Tap “Confirm and finish”. It says “Round finished”; tap “See the leaderboard”.

Signing works with no signal. Finishing needs a bar, and waits for any scores still on the phone.

Your name, handicap index and scores, as your organiser entered them, and the courses you played. If you make an account, your email too. Nothing is sold, and there is no advertising.

1. To have your name taken off a group, ask the organiser: they can remove it.
2. Signed in? My account, then “Download my data” gives you a copy of everything.

From My account. Your account and email go straight away. Scores you entered stay with the group, with no account attached, so everyone else’s results don’t change.

1. Tap More, then “My account”.
2. Scroll down and tap “Delete account”.
3. Type your password and tap “Delete my account”.

No account? Then there is nothing to delete: ask your organiser to take your name off the group.

Only if you choose to. It is off for everyone until they switch it on, and you can switch it off again at any time.

1. Sign in, then tap More, then “My account”.
2. Find “Course records” and switch on “Show me in my club’s course records”.
