- Auto-pages through the entire field and each flight
- Your course branding and sponsors built right in
- Updates live as scores come in
Example board — your course, event, and sponsors.

Why we built Back9Ops
Running a league on spreadsheets, group texts, and paper scorecards is harder than it should be. So we put registration, pairings, scoring, and results in one place — and made it simple enough that anyone can run event day.
Less than a sleeve of balls per day
The Club plan is $2.74/day. League plan is $1.64/day. For unlimited events and players, that's an easy math problem.
Mobile-first where it counts
Every touch target is at least 48px. Scoring, leaderboards, and player dashboards work cleanly on any phone.
