Your Tournaments Just Got More Interesting: Skins, Nassau, and Stableford Are Live
Anyone who's played a round with the same group of guys for a while knows the real fun starts once something's on the line. A couple bucks on skins. A Nassau bet on the front, back, and overall. Stableford points just to settle who actually played the best round once the net scores are in. That's the stuff that turns a casual tournament into one people actually talk about afterward.
SimCap tournaments can now do that automatically.
What's New
Three classic side games are live for tournaments: Skins, Nassau, and Stableford. Turn one on (or all of them) when you set up a tournament, and SimCap tracks the side action for you as scores come in — no mental math, no arguing about who actually won the back nine.
- Skins — lowest net score wins the hole. Tie it, and the skin rolls into the next hole instead of disappearing, so pots can stack up fast.
- Nassau — splits a Match Play round into three bets: front nine, back nine, and overall.
- Stableford — standard points for your net score on every hole (birdie, par, bogey, etc.), so there's a running leaderboard beyond just who's under par.
To be clear: there's no real money moving through the app. SimCap just keeps score on who's winning each bet, the same way it already tracks your handicap — your group still settles up however you normally do.
Why This Is Worth Turning On
Most tournament apps stop at "who shot the lowest score." Side games are for the stuff that actually gets brought up at the bar afterward — who took the skins, who won the Nassau, who had the best Stableford card even after a couple rough holes. It's a small thing that makes a tournament feel like the round you'd actually play with friends.
This one's brand new, and nobody's turned it on for a real tournament yet. First group to run with it gets to be the one everyone else copies.
Turn it on the next time you set up a tournament — full details on how each game works are in the how-to guide.
