Fixed

• Rewrote the add/move/remove round option to handle a more complex set of changes to the schedule at one time

• Fixed an issue when entering a scorecard where a player name would be duplicated under certain circumstances

Added

• Option for 2-player teams to print scorecards with just two players on them. This allows someone to print a card for each team rather than the full foursome.

Fixed

• Handicap was not displaying for inactive players.
• Error when "copy admins" function was on, but an admin didn't have an email address entered for themselves.

5/24/2020 - Version 7.69

Added

• New value options for Number of High and Low Rounds to drop for handicapping. If the value is a negative amount, the value is a percentage. For example, if you enter -50 for High Rounds To Drop, then the system will take 50% of the scores entered and drop them (rounding any fractions to the nearest whole number. e.g. 50% of 7 = 3.5, which is rounded to 4 rounds to drop. If you only want to drop 3 of 7, then enter -49 (49%) for this setting.
• New "League Settings" dedicated section, which gives you two options: to change all league settings, and 2nd report which shows which settings that are point related are set to a non-zero value. This aids in helping you find points which are set that you don't know about.

Fixed

• Table Export fixed when exporting non-standard tables like the schedule or the league standings. A non-standard table is one which has something other than a single piece of data in a cell
• Error in pulling up the league schedule if the next week's schedule didn't have the course set.

5/17/2020 - Version 7.68

Added

• Option for the skins calculation to use the handicap index rather than course handicap

• Added Handicap section to stats, and included the player handicap matrix report. There are now 3 reports specific to handicaps
• Added checks for network connectivity when using the live scoring. If connection failed, the page would just spin, and essentially lock the user out from continuing the scoring.

Changed

• Changed the way disabling live scoring worked on the scorecard entry screen. Previously the link would take you to the enable/disable screen, which was confusing in that it was not clear that you then had to disable live scoring. Changed the link to a button, and now the live scoring is disabled with one click.

Fixed

• Live scoring round selection gives warning when choosing a fun night, preventing the user from enabling fun nights (no scores are entered into fun nights)
• Rename of a script folder which was causing browser extensions like uBlock to give a false positive, making a couple of pages non-workable.
• Fix code to prevent two "absent, teammate will play against opponent" from being chosen for the same team.
• Automatically clear skins carry over if carry over was turned off and skins were edited for a round
• Schedule WebAPI, only add weekly schedule when it actually exists. This was causing an error in the scheudle in the Android app if a blank schedule was saved.
• Javascript error under certain circumstances in the "Change Course/Side For All Rounds", which would then cause the page validation to fail, causing a system exception
• Scorecard message would have stray repeats when an individual player league playing split tee times.

• Added ability to change a player or team's League Group after scores have been entered for a particular round.

Changed

• For leagues who pull handicap from the GHIN, the ghin has an "active" status for a player. Golf League Tracker would not pull the hanicap if "Active" was FALSE for a player. Turned out that the status from the GHIN is not always accurate. Changed it so GLT ignores this flag and pulls the handicap value anyway.
• When entering players, it remembers the gender of the last player entered so the user doesn't have to keep choosing it.

Fixed

• Link from the "scorecards" section for players to the Live Leaderboard was not working properly.
• The handicap index "adjustment" for when a player has a handful of scores per the WHS rules was not being halved in two for 9 hole leagues.

Added

• Player highlighting when editing a single round in the scheduler. Shows which players have already been selected
• Added an "average" column to the Season Stroke Play Results report
• Rearranged the score history edit screen to show the score near the top of the form, and to allow the ENTER key to save the score. This speeds up manual entry.

• New Loading Panel displayed any time navigation occurrs on the site. This is helpful for mobile devices and devices with slow internet connections

Changed

• Removed the forced page break on the print scorecard screen. This will allow the user to control how many scorecards to print per page, rather than having a maximum of two.

Fixed

• When adding a new course, the system allowed someone to enter a 9 hole course when the league was set up as an 18 hole league. This is now disallowed. If you play a 9 hole course twice, enter the course as an 18-hole course with the same information for the front and back 9.
• The Player Course Handicap report would have incorrect number of columns when generating a report with two tee boxes named the same for different genders.
• Prevented a league from making multiple copies of itself when copying from one season to the next.

2/9/2020 - Version 7.55

Added

• New Report: Course Handicap Player List. This report shows each player along with their handicap index, and a column for each tee box and course entered into the system with the calculated Playing Handicap for the player.
• New setting: "Handicap Index Decimals". Traditionally Golf League Tracker has rounded the player's handicap index to 2 decimals (note, the players playing handcicap is always a whole number). This setting allows you to choose between 0 and 3 decimal points for the calculation, in case you want to align with the USGA and World Handicap System of using 1 decimal point.

Fixed

• Calculation of league cost was incorrect when multiple leagues of 6 or more.

2/6/2020 - Version 7.54

Added

• New setting: "Handicap Allowance Percentage". This percentage does NOT affect a player's calculated handicap index. Instead, it is applied at the time of the match to conform to the suggestions in the USGA Handicapping Manual Appendix C. For example, it is suggested that players get 90% of their Course Handicap when playing in a four-ball (2-player best ball) event.
• New free Tools for non-members to calculate a single player's handicap index based on the scores they enter.

Fixed

• Fixed an error which would occur if an administrator entered a really long tee box name

Added

• Color coding of tee box when assigning tee boxes to players. Using the color of the tee box selected.
• When assigning players a player or team number, highlight which player has been previously selected

Changed

• Changed how rounding of slope work for 18-hole leagues since the USGA seems to have standardized this with the new WHS. Example, if the slopes are 130 and 125 for front and back respectively, the average is 127.5, and rounded to 128.

Fixed

• Display of player handicap was not displayed properly when viewing schedule by player for all weeks. The handicap displayed would show the handicap of the last round in the schedule, rather than the calculated course handicap for each week.

Added

• The ability to change your league name in the "League Info" administration section

Changed

• Redesign of the footer for mobile for better SEO

1/5/2020 - Version 7.49

• An error occured when entering players, but where one or more courses didn't have a teebox defined. System was trying to assign the default tee box for the player but couldn't find one

• Fix to Stableford Points for Triple Bogey. System was considering Triple Bogey as "other" rather than specific triple bogey points.
• Fixed opponent report and opponent average report. If a player was absent it was considering their score as "0" instead of ignore it.
• Handicap display was showing 0 for course rating and/or slope if rating/slope was not entered for an previous season. Up until 2018, a user could enter a tee box without rating/slope. This would only affect users whose handicap is calculated on really old scores (such as a sub which has only played a couple of times in the previous 3 or more years.

Added

Changed

• Updated the Low Net Calculation routine for vastly improved performance

Fixed

• Handicap update and creating of padding score would cause an error if the handicap percent was set to 0.
• Fixed season long score summary for net scores. It was displaying a negative score for a player who didn't have a score entered for a given week, essentially displaying their net score as 0 minus their handicap. It now displays a blank for those scores.
• Fixed broken links to the old handicap update page, updating to the new link

11/3/2019 - Version 7.44

Added

• Remove the season drop down from the login page and replaced it with a "switch season" option under the menu. The advantage of this is that whatever your current page is remains the same when you switch the season
