New update to GolfBox Tournament

We are now ready with a new update to GolfBox Tournament. Below you can see what this update contains.

New things

Setup

• In the tournament setup overview, courses are now displayed in two columns.
• You can now change the Hidden tournament setting directly from the tournament list.
• By adding manual entry, the administrator can now select the tee immediately.
• The email the player receives when entering online now includes the choices the player has made, such as answers to questions, tees, etc.
• The email the contacts for a tournament receive upon new entry now include the player number.
• The feature to update all courses in a tournament will now alert you to any manual courses in the tournament that cannot be updated.
• When editing Practice Rounds, you can now delete times.

Entries

• The feature to search for existing players based on Golf ID has been added.
• The entry list can now display a column with age. This column is not displayed by default but can be added.
• The list of deleted players can now show the time of deletion.
• The list of questions and answers can now show players' email address and mobile number.
• The entry list can now display the player livescoring code in tournaments run without a start list.
• In the window to send messages to the players in a tournament, the list of recipients can now display the players' club name.
• In the player photo upload window, the player number will now be displayed next to their name, to make it easier to recognize players with similar names from each other.
• The page for choosing the start time at entry will now suggest the customer's own union in the dropdown for searching for teammates.

Start List

• By generating the Labels report, you can now select multiple players at once.
• When generating the Labels report, you can now select the team name.
• The Labels report will now only show round numbers if there is more than one round in the tournament, to save a bit of space when that information is not needed.
• In rounds set up with the Maximum Score format, the Amateur Scorecard report can now show the selected type and any value.
• By editing the starting list, you can now choose to view the players' total gross score in the tournament.
• The Match Play Start List report can now display PHCP on players or teams.
• Some visual changes have been made to the seeding functionality in Team Match Play tournaments, so it now looks like the same functionality in Match Play tournaments again.

Results

• The feature to search for existing players based on Golf ID has been added.
• In the window to transfer results to an Order of Merit, a link to the given Order of Merit will now be displayed.

Livescoring

• The calendar page in Livescoring can now show venue. This can be activated in Livescoring settings for each customer.
• The calendar page in Livescoring will now sort tournaments on the same date by first start time, rather than alphabetically. To clarify this, the first start time for each tournament is now also displayed in the list.
• The calendar page in Livescoring will now show a shortened day of the week by the date of each tournament. However, this does not apply if the tournament extends over several days.
• The start list page in Livescoring can now display the round name in Ryder Cup tournaments, in the same way as the score page does.

 Orders of Merit

• An editor has been added to the Description field under Publishing for an Order of Merit.

Slideshow

• When editing a slideshow, you can now disable individual slides. This allows you to remove a slide from the slideshow without having to delete it.

Players module

• The feature to search for existing players based on Golf ID has been added.

Fixed things

Start List

• An error has been resolved where the Amateur Scorecard report in a few cases did not show the player's tee if they played from the fifth tee in the tournament or up, as the report only showed the first four tees. The player's tee will now always be among the four tees shown.

Results

• An error has been fixed where the score entry page in Team Match Play tournaments could not be opened if one or more players had a double quote in their name.

Settings

• In the Categories module, an error has been fixed where the same player could be added several times to the same category.
