One and Done Golf Commissioner Starter Kit

Your league launch checklist

Work through these decisions before sending invitations. A clear first message saves repeated questions during tournament week.

• Choose a commissioner and a recognizable league name.
• Choose the season and review every included event.
• Select earnings or FedEx points as the ranking metric.
• Confirm the first event and its displayed lock time, including the time zone.
• Publish rules for missed picks, withdrawals, cancellations, and tied totals. Confirm any exception can actually be supported.
• Create the league, review its settings, and invite the group.
• Ask each member to join and check access before the first deadline.

A repeatable weekly commissioner routine

Before play, confirm the current event and deadline and remind members to review their pick. Members should check for field changes before lock. After play, wait for results to be applied before announcing final standings.

• Early week: share the event and displayed lock time.
• Before lock: remind members to check that their selection is saved.
• After results: share the standings and highlight the next included event.
• Season end: confirm all included results are applied before recognizing the winner.

What Kaddy handles and what you still coordinate

Kaddy tracks league picks, used golfers, event results, and standings. The commissioner coordinates membership, communicates expectations, and answers questions. Writing a house rule here does not configure it in the app.

Check settings or contact support before committing to manual score adjustments, imported spreadsheet history, automatic replacement picks, or exceptions after lock. Kaddy does not collect or distribute a league prize pool.
