Plan B

Create a backup game in advance so last-minute changes do not derail the round.

What This Helps You Do

Create a backup version of your game before the round, so if players cancel, teams change, or the field shifts at the last minute, you can switch to a ready alternative instead of rebuilding everything from scratch.

When To Use It

Use this when the game depends on a specific number of players, teams, formats, or tee times and you want a prepared alternative before real life starts changing the field.

Basic Workflow

  1. Create the primary game the way you expect the round to run.
  2. Build a backup version for the most likely change, such as one fewer player, a different team count, or an adjusted format.
  3. Review the backup pairings, tee times, teams, scoring, and payouts before game day.
  4. Keep the backup unpublished until you know it is needed.
  5. If the field changes, switch to the prepared Plan B and share the updated details with the group.

Organizer Note

Plan B is not just a rescue tool. It is how a prepared organizer keeps the first tee calm when someone cancels, arrives late, or changes the team math.
