Creating a game

How do I create and add a game in Quick9?

Game creation

Step 1: Initiate a new game

To initiate new game creation, tap the + button located at the bottom right corner of the game list in the Games section. This action brings up a form to enter game details and manage player invitations.

Step 2: Provide game details

Fill in the required fields to outline your game:

  • Game Title: This will normally be descriptive (e.g., "Evening 9 Holes" or “Monday Rollup”).
  • Game location: Choose the game location by searching by golf club name. See further details below👇🏻. Note - If a club has more than one course then you will also need to specify the course as well.
  • Group: The group for which you wish to create the game. Note - If you are already in a filtered view for a group then the currently selected group will be automatically chosen when creating a game (but you can change this).
  • Date and Time: Schedule when the game will occur.
  • Game Type: Choose from:
    • Round: Up to 4 players.
    • Rollup: Unlimited players.
  • Maximum Players: Set your preferred limit.
  • Player Category: Options include Mixed, Juniors, Men, Ladies.
  • Your Participation: Indicate if you're playing or not (either way, you’re the Game admin).
  • Game Length: Select from 6, 9, 12, or 18 holes.
  • Scoring Format: Options are Casual, Strokeplay, Matchplay.

Optionally, you can define a team format (Greensomes, Foresomes, Better Ball), though it's not required.

Step 3: Invite players

You are automatically listed as the first player if joining, and you can then tap + Invite Players to access a list of group members for invitations, with your Buddies appearing on top for easier selection. Note - You will only see group members for the group you have selected above.

After picking invitees, hit Invite to include them. To adjust invites before game creation, revisit + Invite Players for edits or additions. If you invite group members and then subsequently change the group before game creation then the previous invitees who are not also in the newly applied group will be removed automatically.

Note - Post-creation, invites can be added but not retracted.

Step 4: Setting Game Privacy

By default, games are Public (open to all group members). To limit visibility, opt for a Private game in the Game Privacy section, restricting it to your invitees only.

Step 5: Add the game

Finalise your game with the Create Game button once you're satisfied with all details, invitees, and privacy settings. Your game will be added to the games list for the relevant group and will be available to all group members (if public), or to invitees (if private).

Choosing game location

Adding game location

When creating a game, tap on Choose game location.

In the Choose game location view, you have the choice to explore the Quick9 golf club database or view clubs you've marked as favourites.

To find a golf club, use the search bar to look up clubs by name. Once you locate the desired club, select the radio button next to its name to mark it as selected.

You can also designate any club as a favourite by tapping the star icon next to its name. We recommend favouriting your frequently played golf clubs/courses for easier selection. Favourites are always accessible within the Choose game location view.

When you're satisfied with the location, tap Done. This action will add the course to the Create a new game view.

If the desired golf club isn't listed, choose Add it manually at the bottom of the Choose game location view. Here, you can input the club's name, address, and optionally specify the particular course. After providing the necessary details, select Add game location to include the course in the Create a new game view.

Selecting a course

Some golf club locations will have multiple courses. If you select a golf club location that has more than one course then you will also be asked to specify the course in the Create a new game view. Simply select the relevant course from the dropdown.

Changing selected location

If the course was selected from the Quick9 database:

To change the game location during game creation, tap on Change next to the current location in the Create a new game view. This will open the Choose game location view, where you can search new golf club locations or select a different one from your favourites. Once you've made the desired change, simply tap Done to confirm the change.

If the course was added manually:

If you need to change a manually added game location, simply tap Remove next to the current location in the Create a new game view. This action will open the Choose game location view, allowing you to initiate the game location selection process from scratch.
