What is meant by the term flight?
Flighting is a way of breaking golfers and/or teams
into different groups (flights) for standings purposes, or any type of
sorting purposes you need.
Example:
You have a tournament
with 120 golfers..30 in the A flight, 30 in the B flight, 30 C flight,
30 D flight. Usually flights are based on handicaps so like handicap
golfers can compete against one another. However, you can specify
flights using any criteria. For example, you can base flights on
golfers ages, home club,..or any criteria. When you show standings, you
can have an A flight winner, B flight winner, C flight winner, and D
flight winner. You can even have winners across all flights, or across
multiple flights, such as an AB flight winner, etc.
If you don't care about flights:
When you select to display a report on the
screen, Tournament Manager always displays how the report will be sorted. If you choose
to sort by FLIGHT, then by TOTAL score, you will see flighted
standings. Tournament Manager would first sort by flight then sub-sort by totals. Thus,
A golfers would appear first sub-sorted by total scores, B golfers next
sub-sorted by total scores, etc. Click the button Select How to Sort Report,
and DO NOT sort by flight, but another item, usually TOTAL....then Tournament Manager will not first sort by flight, but just TOTALS. In other words flights
are ignored.
Tournament Manager gives you the option to build custom reports or views. You can build a custom report/view that does NOT even display flights.
if you sort reports by flight, all golfers are in the same flight so it has no meaning.
