Frequently Asked Questions

Should I only submit my best scores or best holes?

No, please submit everything!  The more you submit, the more accurate your handicap will be as well as our course ratings.

How do I drag my scorecard from the Meta Gallery to the form on a Mac?

Mac's don't support this functionality.  However, if you are using Chrome as your browser, you can install the Magic Drop extension to make this work.  The downside is the image is compressed, so the OCR may not work as well.

Can I submit scorecards from my MetaQuest?

Yes!  Open the form and when it's time to choose your file, select browse and choose the image.

Why don't I see my scorecards in the stats?

The bottom line is it takes time.  The form takes in the scorecards and puts them in holding.  Every five minutes, the it will process three scorecards which can take 3-5 minutes.  When the trigger hits five minutes again, it repeats the process. It could take 10 minutes or so for your scores to be reflcted on the site.

Why can't you process all of the scorecards at once?

Google limits the processes to 6 minutes.  If the processing takes longer than that, it just stops and we'll ahev broken scorecards.

Why was my scorecard rejected?

It could be for a variety of reasons.  

• Your screenshot doesn't show the expanded scorecard.

• Your game was a Match Play, Cloest Putt, or used modifiers.

• You have edited/manipulated the scorecard.

• The OCR failed and produced numbers that didn't add up.

Why do I need to have the expanded scorecard?

The expanded scorecard clearly shows whether modifiers were used (giant/mini mode, high/low gravity).  It also shows the date played which we also want to record.

What happens if someone submits an edited scorecard?

The image is scanned for anomalies and editing.  If anything is detected it will be rejected. The player name will be flagged and if it happens multiple times, all their scorecards will be removed and blocked going forward.

What is a Handicap Index?

A Handicap Index is a number that represents a player’s average performance compared to par. The lower the handicap, the better the player.

How is the Handicap Index Calculated?

It is average of the best 8 differentials (from the last 20), multiplied by rounded to 1 decimal.  The differential is your strokes above or below par.

How are Course Ratings Calculated?

Course ratings are based on real submitted rounds.  We use all valid 18-hole scores for a course and:

• Average the best 20% of scores to determine the Course Rating

• Average the highest 20% for the Bogey Rating

• Calculate Slope from the difference between those two
  
  

As more rounds are submitted, the ratings become more accurate.

What is Ideal Round and Potential?

Your Ideal Round is calculated using you best holes for that course.  If you got the lowest score you've ever made on each hole, your Ideal Score is what you'd have.  The Potential is the difference in your best score and your Ideal Round.
