2022 FALL CUP MATCHES

GOLF GENIUS WRITTEN TUTORIAL

 

1.  Fall Cup Portal (This is the website you are on right now)

  • This is a public site where captains and players can go to view the Fall Cup schedule and standings.
  • Captains are encouraged to share this link with their players and print this document when hosting a round.

 

2. Logging into the Portal:

  • You must use the invitation link emailed to you by Golf Genius when logging in for the first time.
  • If you acted as a Fall Cup or Spring Team Captain in the past, use the password you created in the past to log into your region/cup this year.
  • If you do not remember your password, use the “forgot password” prompt to change it.
  • If you have not been a team captain before BUT have already created a player profile this year for tournament registration, use those login credentials.
  • If you have not done any of the above, click HERE to sign up for your player profile.
  • To get back into the Fall Cup Portal, click on the link in the Fall Cup event page on the Mass Golf website on the right side of the screen saying “2022 Fall Cup Portal”.
  • Once you are in the portal, hover over the settings icon at the top right of the page and click on “Customer Center”. This will redirect you to the Golf Genius page that displays all of the events you are participating in.
  • Find where it says 2022 Fall Cup Matches followed by your region. Follow that to the right and click on “Go To Event”.

 

Important Club Staff Note: The Fall Cup Platform does not connect with your club’s Golf Genius, it stands alone. If you sign in with your club account you will get a message saying, “Access Denied”.  The only way to make any updates in the Fall Cup Portal is through the link above to register with a new account. Those who have done this in the past should use the password you created in the past to log into your region/cup. If you do not remember your password from the past, there will be a prompt for you to change it. If you would like an additional staff member to have access, e-mail me with the region number, team name, person’s name and e-mail and I will send them an invitation to have them receive access.

 

3. Team Rosters

  • You will not have access to put your roster in until 9/1/2022 at 12:00 PM.

The system is set up so that ONLY captains and club contacts can make player changes as needed throughout the season.

  • In preparation for the start of the season, Mass Golf will add all ACTIVE female members of your club to your roster on 9/1/2022 at 12:00 PM from your Club to Golf Genius. That list of active golfers will appear under the section “Choose a Player”, in the form of a dropdown menu.
  • After we add in all of your active players on 9/1, any new active players or anyone’s status that changes at your club to active, they do not automatically be added to your drop down. For any active player missing from your club’s list after 9/1/2022, please contact Ben Carnevale at bcarnevale@massgolf.org and he will add them to your club’s drop down.
  • The USGA® Handicap Revision as of September 1, 2022, will be used by all players for all three matches.
  • Golf Genius should automatically sort the players from low to high. Note: It is the captains’ responsibility to verify the pairings sheets and scorecards for accuracy before the match begins.
  • When you have finished setting your roster, notify the other captains in your region. The matches will say “No Opponent” until the other team’s roster has been made, so the sooner the better to confirm your roster each week. You must FINALIZE your roster in Golf Genius. Reports cannot be printed until all team rosters are finalized.

 

4. Setting your Roster and Substitutions

  • Sign into golfgenius.com > 2022 Fall Cup Matches: Region (#) > Go to Event > Team Captain Menu > Select matchup and round from drop down menu > Edit match play pairings > Click on your team
  • On the right side of the screen, you will see the “CHOOSE A PLAYER” dropdown section.
  • To add a player to the team, click on an existing player or empty slot, then select a player from the dropdown list and click the blue “GO” button.
  • ONLY use the “REMOVE” button if you are looking to default a player from your team as it will remove that player from your roster!! When making a substitution utilize the choose a player drop down to add the new player to your existing roster.
  • When you are done, click on "SAVE TEAM CHANGES"
  • If you are certain this is the roster you will be using for the match, click “PAIRINGS ARE FINAL”.
    • You MUST click “PAIRINGS ARE FINAL” for each week’s roster you input for the Host Captain to download all the reports. It is imperative that ALL captains in the region FINALIZE their rosters AT LEAST 48 hours before each match. If you do not do this, host captains cannot download reports.
  • Note: Golf Genius is programmed to sort rosters and create match pairings by low to high indexes. However, it is the captains’ responsibility to verify the pairings sheets and scorecards for accuracy before the match begins.
  • Note: All host captains are responsible for re-downloading and printing reports if changes are made by any team in their region. If you need further assistance, contact Naomi Nesenoff at nnesenoff@massgolf.org.
