6.3. Bring your buddies, even the ones without the app. TRACK A ROUND, NOW WITH COMPANY Solo tracking grew up. Add up to three guests to your round, and all we need is a first name. No accounts, no handicap required, no interrogation. Dave just plays. Pick your course, pick your tees, even log yesterday's round if the scorecard rode home in your pocket. Three or four of you? Turn it into a real game: Niners, Best Ball, Sixes. THE ROUND ENDS WITH A BANG Finish a round and you get an actual recap: everyone ranked, gross and net, a share button for the group chat, and a one-tap way to turn your regulars into a real group with leaderboards and a season race. STATS THAT GO DEEPER Charts now. Season trajectory, monthly net trend, per-course numbers, personal records, and an estimated handicap index that tracks how you actually play, not how you say you play. WIDGET ON THE HOME SCREEN Your next round and the season top three, right on your home screen. It knows Saturday is coming before you do. WEATHER AT YOUR TEE TIME Upcoming rounds show the forecast for your actual tee time, courtesy of Apple Weather. 40% rain and you still went? Respect. LIVE ACTIVITY TELLS THE TRUTH Best Ball on your lock screen now shows the match: 3 UP, All Square, 2 DN. Points games show points, Skins shows skins, and the card no longer tells every single player they're winning. Someone had to lose. Sorry. PICK YOUR ICON Settings has four app icons now: Classic, Midnight, Fairway, and Sunday Gold. Dress your home screen for the course you wish you were on. ALSO HANDLED - Started a round nine days early? Admins can walk it back to Upcoming, as long as nobody has scored. - Anyone can add a missing course now, not just the club brass. - Tapping anywhere on the course row works, not just the exact letters. - The post-round recap always shows your scores instead of an empty card. Round up the group. Or don't. Either way, it counts.

6.2. The season is officially a competition now. SEASON STANDINGS A new Season tab on the Leaderboard adds up your whole year. Tour-style points for every round: 25 to win, podium bonuses, and a little something for showing up at all. Tap anyone's row to see exactly which Saturdays carried them. There's a Home card too, so the standings find you between rounds. PURSE, HANDLED Set an entry fee when you create a round and the app does the payout math for the top three. It's a scoreboard, not a bank. Collecting is still between you and your group. HOLE 18, FIXED Last hole, phone in one hand, cart rolling. Tapping Done used to submit and lock the entire scorecard, even with 18 still blank. No more. Done just saves, like it does on every other hole. Submitting asks first, names anyone missing a score, and locks only when you say so. And if a card does get submitted early, admins can reopen it right from the scorecard. STEADY SCREENS The Scorecard and Leaderboard tabs stopped flickering between your live round and the "start a game" screen while things load. The leaderboard also keeps itself fresh mid-round without you pulling on it. ALSO HANDLED - The biggest text sizes render properly everywhere. Your eyes, your call. - The leaderboard stays on the tab you picked when it refreshes. - Solo rounds in History show the course name now. - Joining a group is easier to find in Settings. - A last-call nudge goes out before registration closes. - Course handicaps compute correctly when your saved tee isn't one of the round's tees. Play the long game. It counts now.

6.1. Ten new ways to lose to your friends. TEN NEW GAME FORMATS Stableford and Modified Stableford (points, finally). Niners. High & Low. Vegas, now with a blowout cap. You're welcome. Foursomes and Greensomes: alternate shot, one ball, two relationships tested. Skins with real carryovers, gross or net. Nassau's three matches in one. And Bingo-Bango-Bongo, where being first matters more than being good. A FORMAT PICKER THAT EXPLAINS ITSELF Compact cards, player counts, and illustrated rules for every format. So "wait, how does this one work" happens before the first tee, not on it. LIVE ACTIVITIES, FOR EVERYONE The Lock Screen scorecard shows up the moment your round starts and runs for every player in the group. Scores land on it within seconds of being entered. Phone locked, app closed, doesn't matter. Leaders get to watch the chase ("Chasing +2"). And when the round ends, it cleans up after itself. GROSS OR NET, YOUR CALL One toggle at setup decides whether the round is handicapped, and every screen actually respects it now. Gross-only rounds stop whispering about net. ALSO HANDLED - Admins can manage the waitlist by hand now: add people, reorder, or cut the line. With great power, etc. - Game 24: the team can take the Pro's score now. Use it wisely. - Mac and iPad finally use the whole window instead of a polite center column. - Course photos load from a faster home, with proper placeholders when they don't. - One tournament-start notification per tournament. One. - Handicap caps behave: flat 18, everywhere, no exceptions. - Opening a round from a notification keeps the leaderboard live. Details. - Under the hood: your data loads are scoped tighter. Faster, and nobody else's business. Go start something with 9 holes and a grudge.

6.0. We skipped some numbers. Don't worry about it. Here's what's new: SCRAMBLE Four players, one ball, infinite excuses. Full team scoring — gross or USGA-handicapped — stroke dots where you actually get a stroke, and a leaderboard that knows which "team" is doing the heavy lifting. MEMBERS CAN CREATE GAMES Admins can let regular members start group games now. Wild idea: trusting people. Flip it back off the second someone schedules a 6am shotgun. REGISTRATION, YOUR WAY Tournament filling up? Raise the player limit right from the registration screen — and the waitlist promotes itself automatically, push and all. No more "are you in or not" group texts. NOTIFICATIONS THAT LISTEN Pick exactly which alerts you get — registration opening, your round starting, score updates, tee-time reminders — and they finally respect your settings instead of freelancing. TEE-TIME REMINDERS A heads-up before your group tees off, so "I forgot" stops being a valid excuse. SCORE UPDATES Find out the moment another group steals the lead. What you do with that information is between you and your short game. ALSO HANDLED - New here? A proper welcome tour instead of fumbling around in Settings. - Ties on the leaderboard now break by hole-by-hole countback, like real golf. - Every total tells you whether it's net or gross. Revolutionary. - Open the leaderboard, see the actual current scores. Every time. - Big-text folks: headers and columns stopped chopping themselves off. - Turn your phone sideways for a full 18-hole scorecard. Go play. Try not to take a double.

We skipped a few version numbers. Long story. Here's everything that's new: SCRAMBLE Four players, one ball, infinite excuses. Full team scoring — gross or USGA-handicapped — one score per hole, stroke dots on the holes you get a stroke, and a leaderboard that actually knows which "team" is carrying. MEMBERS CAN CREATE GAMES Admins can now let regular members start group games. Radical concept: trusting people. Flip it back off the instant someone abuses the privilege. NOTIFICATIONS THAT LISTEN Pick exactly which alerts you get — registration opening, your tournament starting, score updates — and they finally respect your settings instead of doing whatever they felt like. TEE-TIME REMINDERS A heads-up before your group tees off, so "I forgot" stops being a valid excuse. SCORE UPDATES Find out the second another group steals the lead. What you do with that information is between you and your short game. ALSO HANDLED - The badge dot that refused to go away. Gone. - Leaderboards that update when scores actually change. Novel. - A scorecard that stopped forgetting your round the moment you looked away. - The "#" now sits at the bottom of course lists, where it belongs. Go play. Try not to take a double.

Waitlist plays nicer. When someone drops from a tournament, the next person on the waitlist is added automatically and gets a push: "A spot opened — you're in for the 6/14 game." No more 24-hour confirm dance. Withdraw asks before it acts. A "Drop from this game?" sheet so you don't accidentally unregister mid-tap. Course photos throughout. Hero photos on the Home carousel and on every Course Detail page. Plus overview, tips, designer, year, walkability — pulled in for thousands of courses. Tee + hole tables on Course Detail. Every yardage from every tee, side-by-side. No more guessing which box to play from. Live Now banner on Home. A slim row shows whenever a round is in progress in one of your groups — one tap to the Scorecard. Stats cards are back on Home. Score Distribution, Top Scorers, and Birdies & Eagles. My Stats scrolls infinitely now too. Refresh button on Nearby Courses, plus-handicap support, dark mode polish, and a fistful of bug fixes under the hood.

Tournament registration, front and center. Open registration and everyone RSVPs in the app — goodbye to the Thursday-morning Signal spam of "I'm in." It's been here a while; you just never noticed. Over 800 courses added. Set a home course or pull up one near you — take the game on the road instead of fighting the app to find where you're playing. Foursome setup that doesn't test your patience. Tap to move a player to any group or to staging, auto-balance teams by handicap with one button, and collapse the groups you're done fiddling with. Drag-and-drop still works, if you're into that. More stats. Deeper player and scorecard insight — because you know you want receipts on that round. Round history, two taps away. Past rounds are no longer buried; the leaderboard points you straight to them. Plus a look-and-feel tune-up, sturdier location handling, smarter tee times, and the usual under-the-hood gremlin removal.

We rebuilt the leaderboard. Again. This time with a proper header row, uniform columns, and — for Game 24 fans — a live count of how many of your 24 picks you've burned. Your scorekeeper no longer needs a calculator. Score entry now keeps all four player names on screen at any text size, because apparently that was optional before. Custom games can now select best scores per 9 or across all 18. Bugs fixed. New ones incoming.

Custom games: select best scores per 9 or across all 18 Bug Fixes: Various UI fixes that probably should have worked before

v4.2 - "The One Where We Got a Website" What's New: - Live Leaderboards on the Web - Your buddy who "forgot to download the app" can now follow scores at SaturdayGame.app. No more excuses, Tony. - Tournament Registration - Sign up for tournaments right from the app. Pick your tee time. Pretend you're booking Augusta. - Dashboard Glow-Up - Redesigned dashboard with stats, smoother typography, and a whole new look. - Groups Got Better - Expandable member lists, handicap editing from the dashboard, and groups on the web too. - Custom Game Config - Hole-by-hole custom game setup is back and better than ever. Bug Fixes: - Scorekeeper flags no longer leak between foursomes (that was a weird one) - Non-admins can actually register for tournaments now (oops) - Tee time interval picker works like a picker should

Registration Improvements - Redesigned registration UI with RSVP order, waitlist visibility, and max player limits. Non-admins can now register themselves. - Admins can email the roster to the pro shop directly from the app. Notifications That Navigate Correctly - Tapping a registration notification now actually takes you to the registration screen instead of... somewhere else. The bar was low. - App refreshes tournament data when returning from background instead of showing you a museum exhibit. Tournament & Scoring - Custom game hole-by-hole configuration restored after it quietly disappeared during a refactor. - Tee time interval picker is now tappable on the whole row, not just a 12-pixel target. Dashboard - New dashboard with stats, score charts, and inline handicap editing. Your ego boost (or reality check) is one tap away. Polish - Animated splash screen, login screen redesign, and zero compiler warnings. We're basically professionals now.

- No more need for Signal app "I'm in"? Tournament registration screen layout improved, and now shows you who's playing instead of making you tap through 17 menus to find out. - Removed the "Can't Make It" button that, ironically, couldn't make it work  - The tee time interval picker now responds to taps.

Saturday Game v4.0 - Philippe couldn't save scores past hole 5. Our security rules were checking if he had permission to save, finding that he did, then asking "but do you REALLY though?" and rejecting you anyway. WHAT'S NEW Fresh UI We've given the app a visual refresh. New brand colors, cleaner layouts, and an updated shield logo that looks less like it was designed during a lunch break. Empty states now have friendly graphics instead of sad blank screens judging you for not having any tournaments yet. Save Status Indicators You know that feeling when you text someone and don't know if it sent? That was our score saving experience. Now you'll see "Saving..." when we're working on it, and if something goes wrong, you'll get an actual error message instead of optimistic silence. We've learned that "no news is good news" doesn't apply to database writes. Multi-Course Support Your group can now play different courses throughout the season. We finally realized that golfers occasionally leave Almaden, like some kind of migratory birds with expensive equipment and strong opinions about greens fees. Tournament Workflow Redesign We rebuilt tournament creation as a step-by-step wizard because watching you fill out our old form was like watching someone try to fold a fitted sheet while explaining the infield fly rule. Now it walks you through dates, courses, game formats, tee assignments, and foursomes one step at a time. You can still mess it up, but you'll have to really commit to it. Improved Tee Assignments Assign tees per player with proper handicap calculations. The app now knows that someone playing from the reds has different stroke allocations than someone playing from the tips. Math! BUG FIXES - Non-admin scorekeepers can now save scores (the actual reason this update exists) - Save failures now announce themselves instead of suffering in silence like a British person with a restaurant complaint - macOS companion app remembers it exists and functions accordingly - Scores entered on hole 18 no longer require admin privileges, a prayer, and a blood sacrifice - Fixed a bug where the app would lose track of which foursome you were in, like a confused caddy at a scramble UNDER THE HOOD - Firestore security rules now check permissions the way we originally intended, not the way we accidentally wrote them at 2am - Network errors and permission denials are detected and reported instead of shrugged off like a questionable drop - Data syncs between devices more reliably, for those keeping score across multiple phones like a golf IT department - Added player ID tracking to foursomes so the database knows who's allowed to do what without an existential crisis Update now. Your playing partners are tired of re-entering their scores, and frankly, so are we.

What's New: - Fresh "Augusta Elevated" color palette. We're basically the Masters now, minus the green jacket and the pimento sandwiches. - New shield logo graces the login screen. Very medieval. Very golf. - Split Best Net Ball into two formats because the group chat arguments were getting out of hand. Fixed: - Admins can no longer snoop on other groups' tournaments. The power trip has ended. - The "Done" button now actually waits for your scores to save. Revolutionary, we know. - Handicap cap actually caps now. Math is hard. - Leaderboard no longer plays hide-and-seek after completing a tournament. - Account deletion works reliably. For those ready to rage-quit golf entirely. Also: - Added deep links because apparently typing is too much effort. - Pro player settings for those of you who think you're on the PGA Tour. - History view improvements so you can relive your triple bogeys in stunning detail.

- App stability improved. Your swing? Still your problem.

The Great Green Purge Turns out green text on a golf app was "too on the nose." We've switched to blue because apparently we have commitment issues with our brand color. Scorekeeper Shuffle You can now change scorekeepers mid-round. For when Tony insists he can do math after his third cocktail at the turn, and you need to quietly reassign duties. Foursomes That Actually Generate Fixed a bug where creating a tournament with players resulted in... no players. Revolutionary concept: when you add people, they should appear. Icons That Know Where They Live Empty state icons now center themselves properly. They've completed their mindfulness training. Streamlined Tournament Setup Merged the tee selection step because clicking "Next" one more time was apparently asking too much. We hear you, lazy fingers. "Complete Tournament" Actually Completes Now The button does what it says. Groundbreaking, we know.

- No new features because we were too busy teaching network requests about healthy boundaries and timeouts.

• Live Activities now show the right score for your format. Your triple bogey will display correctly whether you're playing alone or dragging down your team. • New tee time scheduling - because "8-ish" wasn't working out. • Add guest players without accounts. Perfect for that friend who swears they'll "definitely play more often." • Various fixes for bugs that were more frustrating than a lip-out.
