MiScore – Nearest the Pin Update

Following a successful trial period, we are excited to announce the introduction of the MiScore App for recording all Nearest the Pins (NTPs). Starting Wednesday, 5^th February 2025, all NTPs will be recorded exclusively via the app.

This change brings several operational benefits, including improved efficiency, reduced risks, and a streamlined process for our competitions.

Why the Change?

• Trial Success: Our trials demonstrated that using the MiScore App simplifies the process and enhances the overall competition experience.
• No More Physical Markers: This eliminates the need for pin markers to be placed, collected, or maintained, reducing the risks of loss or theft.
• Improved Efficiency: Speeds up the processing of competition results.
• Streamlined Participation: Only one player per group needs to use the app to record NTP results.

Day-by-Day Adjustments

Here’s how NTPs will work across different competition days:

• Monday:
  • Single-course competition.
  • No NTPs currently offered.
• Tuesday:
  • Single-course competition.
  • NTPs offered on selected holes.
• Wednesday:
  • Two-course competition:
    • All-Day Course: 4 NTP opportunities (previously 3), with prize pools distributed based on players in this field.
    • Afternoon-Only Course: 2 NTP opportunities (previously 3), with prize pools distributed based on players in this field.
• Thursday:
  • Single-course competition.
  • NTPs offered on selected holes.
• Saturday:
  • Three-course competition.
  • 4 NTP opportunities per course (12 total, previously 8). Prize amounts will adjust proportionally to accommodate the increased opportunities.

• Sunday:
  • Two-course competition.
  • 2 NTP opportunities per course, with prize pools distributed evenly between fields.

Additional Notes for Members

• Using the MiScore App:
  • Only one player per group needs to record NTP results in the app.
  • Groups without MiScore users will not be able to participate in NTPs.
• Fairness and Transparency:
  • For multi-course competitions (e.g., Wednesdays), NTP opportunities and prize pools will be specific to each course. Afternoon-only players will compete within their smaller field.
• Connectivity Assurance:
  • The MiScore App has demonstrated reliable performance, with no significant connectivity issues anticipated.
