ETS – How It Works

Eagle Tournament System™

How ETS Works (2 Minutes)

ETS manages memberships, signups, handicaps, communication, and live scoring — without requiring an app. Here’s what it looks like in real life.

1) Create the Event

ETS supports individual or team events, multiple formats, and recurring play. Organizers create an event and invite players by sending a link.
Typical setup flow:

Create event → invite players → set limits/waitlist → publish

2) Signups + Communication

ETS makes signups and communication easy for players and organizers.
  • Blast to signed-up players (1-click to unsign)
  • Blast to not signed-up players (1-click to sign up)
  • Send pairings and hole assignments before play
  • Supports individual or team signups

3) GHIN + Playing Handicap by Tees

ETS connects to GHIN to pull each player’s current Handicap Index and score history. Playing Handicap is calculated by tees — and if someone changes tees on arrival, ETS updates instantly.
Handicap flow:

Player joins → GHIN Index pulled → Tee selected/changed → Playing Handicap calculated instantly

4) Live Scoring (Gross Only)

Players enter gross scores only. ETS automatically calculates net and/or Stableford points and updates standings live.
  • Gross entry only (fast)
  • Instant cumulative gross + net
  • Stableford supported
  • Optional live leaderboard

5) Results + Optional GHIN Posting

At the end of the round, results are published automatically. If a group wants, ETS can also post hole-by-hole gross scores to GHIN.
