Custom team results lets you specify exactly which scores from which players will be used on which holes. This allows you to build practically any type of team results report in which a golfer plays his/her own ball. The number of types of team reports you can build is literally infinite. Also includes building multi-round team results. Standings can be based on scores (gross and net) or even points.
To display, edit, create, or delete a custom team results report, pull down the Reports menu and select Custom-Tournament Team Results-ADVANCED.

Several sample reports have already been designed to give you an idea of what can be done.
- (1 Gross and 1 Net Best Ball) – Team’s score is based on 1 gross best ball and 1 net best ball from each hole.
- (123 Net Best Ball Waltz) – Team’s score is based on one net best ball on hole 1, two net best balls on hole 2, three net best balls on hole 3, one net best ball on hole 4, etc...
- (AC Net Best Ball and BD Net Best Ball) – Team’s score is the total of player 1 and 3's net best ball and player 2 and 4's net best ball.
- (Colored Net Ball) –Team’s score is based on colored ball and 1 net best ball of other three players. Each player alternates playing the colored ball on each hole. Player 1 plays colored ball first, player 2 plays colored ball on next hole, etc...
- (Low Net Ball and High Net Ball) – Team’s score is based on low net ball and high net ball on each hole.
- (Net Best Ball Mix) – Team’s score is based on 1 net best ball from holes 1 to 9, 2 net best balls for holes 10 to 17, and 3 net best balls for hole 18.
- (Pros Ball and Amateurs Gross Best Ball) –Team’s score is based on the pro's score (player 1 on the team) and the 1 gross best ball of the 3 amateurs.
- (Odd holes only) – Team’s score is based on scores only on odd holes.
These are just samples of what can be done. You have the option of setting up different criteria on 90 different holes! That’s different criteria for each hole of a five-round tournament. The possibilities are endless.

Advanced Options Tab
If you are selecting both gross and net scores on the same hole, you should instruct TM on how to handle which balls it can select.
- Different ball(s) must be used for Gross and Net
This instructs TM that it must use a different ball(s) when selecting gross and net balls. If you select this option you need to further select the order in which balls are selected.
Gross First – The gross ball(s) will always be selected first, then the net balls(s) will be selected.
Net First - The net ball(s) will always be selected first, then the gross balls(s) will be selected.
Best Combo – If selecting gross ball(s) first gives the team the best score on the hole, then that will be done. Otherwise selecting net ball(s) first will be used. - Same ball(s) can be used when selecting both Gross and Net
This instructs TM that it is allowed to use the same ball(s) for both the gross score and net score.
