Back Nine Anthem Summer Showdown · FAQ
Is there a handicap in this event?
Yes — your host has this event scored NET, not gross. Everyone on the team hits, you pick the best shot, and all of you play from there — one ball, one card, one team score. Your Back Nine host sets the team handicap that is applied; ask them for the allowance before you play.
Where do I register and score my rounds?
Inside Full Swing Compete — your Back Nine host shares the event there. Heads up: the verification code lands in your main inbox, usually from "Full Swing Sports" — if it isn't there, check Promotions and every other folder.
How do I add my teammate?
Two places, and the second is the one teams miss. On Back Nine, add your teammate' name and email right on the registration form — that holds your spot. Then in Full Swing Compete, the CAPTAIN creates the team and invites the teammate from inside it. A teammate cannot add themselves, and nothing happens until the captain sends it. If you are the teammate, watch for that invite and accept it before you play — without it, only the captain's scores post.
What should I do on the day I play?
Log into Full Swing Compete first and launch the round your host shares. Play it out as a team — the sim records your team's score.
How do you keep it fair?
Every team plays the same tees, the same course and the same setup. Your host has this event on net, so the team handicap they set is what levels it.
How do points and standings work?
Your result sets your position on this event's board, and tied teams share the position. This is your venue's own board — local play does not feed a national season total.
Who do I contact with a question?
Your Back Nine host, or a Back Nine team member — we run this event's scoring and standings directly.
