Groups: save a player list once, reuse it every event

Using ScrambleBoard 2 min read

If you run events for the same crowd - a league night, a member roster, the annual buddies trip - build the list once as a group. Every future event starts from it instead of from a blank paste box.

Create a group

Head to Groups & roster in the organizer console and create one. Members can be pasted ("Name, 12.4" per line, handicaps optional) or imported from a CSV - including a GHIN club-roster export, which brings First/Last name, Handicap Index, and email along.

Group imports match by name, so re-importing a fresh GHIN export updates the list without duplicating anyone.

Pull a group into an event

On the event's share page, choose the group and pull it in. Only people not already on the roster are added: for stroke play and Stableford they arrive as individual entries with their handicaps attached; for team formats the names drop into the paste box so you can arrange the teams.

Save an event roster back

After an event, save its roster into a group (new or existing - merged by name). Run the same outing next year, and the field is one click away.

Frequently asked questions

Do paid marks carry into a group?

No - paid status is per-event, never a group attribute. The group keeps names, handicaps, and emails; each event tracks its own payments.

Can a player be in more than one group?

Yes. Groups are just saved lists - your Saturday crew and your member-guest field can overlap freely.

01
Add players and build teams

Roster building lives on the event's share page, and there are three ways in: paste, file upload, or a photo of the sign-up sheet. Use whichever matches what's in your hand.

02
Import your roster from a spreadsheet or registration export

If your sign-ups live in a spreadsheet or a registration platform, don't retype them. Export to CSV, upload it on the share page, and the columns that matter are found automatically.

03
Create your first event in ScrambleBoard

From sign-in to a shareable QR poster takes about five minutes. Your first event is free, so run a practice event first - same flow, no charge - and the real one will feel routine.
