New in TourTrak Professional and Pro Tour Editions

What's New...
TourTrak Professional & Pro Tour Editions

New in Version 8.0
Version 8.0 releases of TourTrak scoring and tournament editions benefit from an extraordinary number of refinements. In addition to a host of detailed improvements, these releases benefit from hundreds of functional, visual, and usability-oriented enhancements.

And in addition to base-product enhancements, significant enhancements are applied to a variety of optional feature packages, including the Multiple Event Package, Event Plus Package, Entrant Group Management Package, WD/DQ Package, Results Inquiry Package, Payouts Package, Statistics Package, Spreadsheet Interface Package, Report Broadcasting Package, and the Advertising Package.

The table below details notable upgrades introduced or enhanced in Version 8.0.

	Improved Advertising and Broadcast Advertising In conjunction with the release of the all-new Advertising Edition, the optional Advertising Package (available for the Professional and Pro Tour Editions) has been entirely redesigned to provide both new and improved features and enhanced runtime performance. New features include drag-and-drop advertising set activation/deactivation, drag-and-drop advertising set ordering and priority, drag-and-drop intra-set advertisement ordering and priority, configurable advertisement defaults (inclusive of multiple classifications, dates, runtimes, runtime sizing, image scaling, borders, colors, fade transition allowances, video/image/audio settings, and ordering parameters), background, border, and fade color-matching, extensive audio and video modes (i.e.: repeating, segmented start/end points, etc.), comment/notation entry, additional advertisement and account classification, multiple advertisement video, image, and audio preview windows, runtime desktop control, advertiser management (including variable sales tabulation), and a variety of optional features. Highly configurable runtime fade effects and runtime desktop control as well as numerous runtime override controls are also provided, offering enhanced runtime control. The advertising database and all maintenance windows have also been redesigned. Runtime performance is also optimized when choosing to alternate and/or activate specific advertising sets.
	New Advertising Master and Expiration Reporting TourTrak's optional Advertising Package, when ordered with the Reporting Plus Package, now provides query-based advertiser and both advertisement master and expiration reporting, featuring (as with all master reporting) selectable group, order, and page-break options.
	New Advertising Spreadsheet Generation Features The optional Advertising Package, when ordered with the Spreadsheet Interface Package, now provides query-based advertiser and advertisement spreadsheet generation.
	Improved Broadcast Reporting and Advertising Integration The Report Broadcasting Package is redesigned to offer all-new, independent broadcast heading and broadcast body margin control, as well as improved advertising integration features and enhanced runtime performance. (When ordered with the Advertising Package, this package provides integral, specialized support for simultaneous, televised broadcast results reporting and broadcast advertising, including split-screen or translucent-overlay broadcast advertising — to monitors, TV and plasma screens, or LCD projectors).
	Improved Report Broadcasting The standalone report broadcasting system provided with the Report Broadcasting Package is redesigned. providing a new interface, new file controls, and improved support for removable media, including RAM drives. The broadcasting and optional advertising features provided with this system are also improved, as with their primary system counterparts. (Note: The Report Broadcasting Package package provides multiple broadcasting systems, to allow broadcasting to originate from the TourTrak-hosted computer or from a separate computer designated for standalone, dedicated report broadcasting and optional, simultaneous broadcast advertising).
	New Specialized Broadcast Leaderboards Although the Report Broadcasting Package provides broadcast reporting for virtually all TourTrak results reports, this package now additionally provides an array of specialized broadcast leaderboards in both summary and detail styles, and in both data-only or minimal-heading styles. As with virtually all TourTrak results reporting, both summary and detail leaderboards may be generated at intra-tournament outing / flight levels as well as at aggregate tournament / flight levels, and for your choice of members only, guests only, members and guests, team aggregates only, or team aggregates and intra-team, team member detail. And as with all leaderboard reporting, awarded entrant and/or team payout distributions may also be optionally displayed, for your choice of individual (member/guest) winnings only, apportioned team-member payout distributions for team winnings only, or both individual (member/guest) winnings and apportioned team-member payout distributions for team winnings. (TourTrak supports concurrent team and entrant payouts, and automatically distributes, or apportions team winnings to individual team members).
	Improved Broadcast Reporting Color Control The Report Broadcasting Package now provides enhanced heading and report body color control, offering additional broadcast heading border styles, countdown timer color control (applicable for page-scrolling modes), and alternating-line report body foreground and background color control. The color override and synchronization features provided with the Advertising Package (applicable for simultaneous broadcast reporting and either split-screen or translucent-overlay advertising) are also enhanced. (This package provides color synchronization options allowing you to dynamically match advertising backgrounds to that of the broadcast viewer, or to dynamically match the broadcast viewer's background to that of each advertisement as it is displayed — features which are beneficial to both split-screen and translucent-overlay broadcast advertising, providing professional, integrated, and seamless color transitions among reporting and advertising).
	Improved Windows Systemwide All windows are enlarged, fonts and colors revised, and all top-level menu bars consolidated for improved clarity and ease of use. Improved support is provided for Windows normal, large, and extra-large fonts, and a series of new properties panels are also now provided to allow selection of preferred drag-and-drop cursors and maintenance button styles.
	New Advertising and Broadcast Advertising Audio Support TourTrak's optional Advertising Package now provides support for advertising and broadcast advertising using multiple audio formats, including MP3 and CD audio. Each advertisement can now be comprised of either advertising video or a combination of both advertising images (photos and graphics) and concurrent advertising audio, enabling you to combine your choice of jpeg, gif, animated gif, tiff, and windows bitmap image formats with a range of audio formats inclusive of MP3, CD audio, and Windows Media audio. Audio options are additionally provided allowing you to specify your choice of either single or repeating audio play, and for your choice of either specified ad duration-based or indefinite audio play. This package is especially effective when used in conjunction with the Report Broadcasting Package, offering integral, specialized support for simultaneous, televised broadcast results reporting and broadcast advertising (including split-screen or translucent-overlay broadcast advertising) — to monitors, TV and plasma screens, or LCD projectors — and broadcasting can originate from the TourTrak-hosted computer or from a separate computer designated for standalone, dedicated report broadcasting and optional, simultaneous broadcast advertising. Broadcast advertising can of course be utilized to generate club revenue by advertising for local merchants and/or event sponsors, and can also be beneficial in highlighting club news, schedules, and promotions, upcoming golf and non-golf related events, pro shop products and sales events (i.e.: new product lines), member and customer accomplishments (i.e.: photos, statistics, etc.), and much more.
	Improved Tournament History Management and Performance All tournament history-oriented functionality is significantly improved. Performance and usability enhancements are applied to both tournament "posting-to" and "reinstating-from" history processes, the display of closed (posted-to-history) tournaments, and all history-inclusive, tournament-spanning statistical reporting provided with the Statistics Package, including Golfer Tournament Performance History and Golfer Order of Merit Reporting. (As standard equipment, TourTrak provides integral history databases, enabling all tournament data for specified tournaments to be posted-to or recalled-from history at any time (including intra-tournament outings, entrants, scores, results, payouts, and more) for optional use with the Statistics Package for historical reporting purposes, and for optional use with the Event Plus Package for future duplication purposes).
	Improved Tournament History Duplication Features The tournament-level duplication features provided with the Event Plus Package now allow closed tournaments to be duplicated ("closed" tournaments are those that have been posted to the integral history database for historical reporting and future duplication purposes). Previous releases required that a closed tournament be reinstated (and thus "open") before it could be duplicated. (Note: Tournament-level duplication features provide for the optional, automatic, cascading duplication of intra-tournament outings, and optionally their entrants, scores, and results). Tournament-level duplication features also now allow intra-tournament outings to be automatically duplicated while excluding entrants — duplication choices now exist as "Do not Duplicate Tournament Outings", "Duplicate Tournament Outings Only", "Duplicate Tournament Outings and their Entrants", and "Duplicate Tournament Outings, Entrants, Entrant Scores, and Results".
	New Alternating Tee Time Scheduling Intervals Tee time scheduling now accommodates any combination of specified alternating time intervals. Tee time scheduling parameters are revised to allow specification of two separate, or alternating "Intervals between Tee Times". Previous releases allowed only a single interval to be specified (although "7 / 8" alternating intervals was a provided selection).
	New Intra-Tournament Outings-to-Date "Gross" Score Scheduling When used with the Multiple Event Package, both tee time and shotgun start based outings now accommodate intra-tournament outings-to-date high or low "gross score" scheduling for use in multiple outing tournaments. Whereas previous releases supported only intra-tournament outings-to-date high or low "net score" scheduling, version 8.0 scheduling parameters are revised to allow selection of intra-tournament "Outings-to-Date Gross: Low Scores First" and "Outings-to-Date Gross: High Scores First", in addition to "Outings-to-Date Net: Low Scores First" and "Outings-to-Date Net: High Scores First", "Low Handicaps First", "High Handicaps First", and "Random".
	New 9-Hole Shotgun Start Scheduling Features TourTrak now provides support for 9-hole (front or back 9) shotgun start scheduling. A new parameter is added for shotgun start based outings — "Holes Played", which allows specification of either "Front 9 Only", "Back 9 Only", or "All 18 Holes". This parameter is used to allow 9-hole shotguns, and effectively determines how specified multiple-tee hole priorities are used. For example, if you specify "Back 9 Only" for this field, then only holes 10 through 18 will be assigned to entrants (or teams), and only multiple-tee hole priorities containing values of 10 through 18 will used. Entry of shotgun start multiple-tee hole priorities is also changed — whereas formerly the field labels for hole priorities indicated holes and entries indicated priorities, field labels now indicate priorities and entries indicate holes. For example, specifying "10" in the field labeled "Priority 1" indicates that the first priority is hole "10". Additionally, multiple-tee hole priority values are now validated for uniqueness during entry, and when updating shotgun start parameters for "open" outings, the system will now automatically reset, or zero all entrant tee time and hole assignments, so that they will be automatically rescheduled using the changed parameters. Formerly, this logic was applied only when changing "Tee Time" parameters. (When used with the Entrant Group Management Package, TourTrak will intentionally only auto-assign teams/flights/tee times/carts to entrants having unassigned/zero values, so as not to step on prior assignments).
	New Multiple Qualifier Event Support TourTrak's WD/DQ Package now provides improved support for qualifier and elimination-style tournaments. Whereas previous releases supported the importation of entrants from only a single (qualifier) tournament, version 8.0 both supports and facilitates the importation of entrants from multiple (qualifier) tournaments, allowing qualifier import processes to be run repeatedly. (Qualifier features enable the importation of individual entrants or entire teams from other TourTrak tournaments based on qualifying results — your choice of either team-aggregate or individual entrant aggregate-tournament results — for your choice of either "Gross Score Rank", "Net Score Rank", "Format Score Rank", "Gross Score Over Par", "Net Score Over Par", or "Format Score Over Par" specified values — as computed for source, qualifying tournaments). Qualifier import processes now also allow selective, on-import initialization of imported entrants' team, flight, tee time, and cart assignments, so that they will be auto-assigned in a subsequent step in the tournament cycle (when used with the Entrant Group Management Package, TourTrak will intentionally only auto-assign teams/flights/tee times/carts only to entrants having unassigned/zero values, so as not to step on prior assignments). The team and entrant "Cut" features provided with this package are similarly improved, and all TourTrak subprocesses that generate in-process, confirmation-oriented reporting (including team and entrant "Cut" and "Qualifier" processes) now provide improved ease of use.
	Improved All-Entrant Control TourTrak now allows all entrants to be purged, or removed from any intra-tournament outing in a single step. A new menu selection, "Purge Entrants for the Displayed Outing", may be used to remove all of an outing's assigned entrants. The all-entrant, selective team, flight, tee time, and cart assignment initialization/reset features are also improved. (These selections are provided because, when used with the Entrant Group Management Package, TourTrak will intentionally only auto-assign teams/flights/tee times/carts to entrants having unassigned/zero values, so as not to step on prior assignments. In other words, the Entrant Group Management Package exclusively provides support for incomplete, selective / partial, manual assignment (for entrant teams, flights, carts, and/or tee times), offering automatic completion of entrant assignments for unassigned or incomplete entrant team, flight, cart, and/or tee time values, in addition to real-time validated drag-and-drop assignment and specialized reporting).
	Improved Entrant Group Management Entrant group management features offered with the Entrant Group Management Package (providing specialized entrant team, flight, tee time, and cart assignment maintenance, validation, and reporting) now allow entrant tee time and starting hole assignments to be viewed for shotgun start based outings. This package also provides a variety of all-new entrant group reporting variations, and all entrant group reporting (including specialized tee time reporting) benefits from improved improved data sorting and report formatting.
	Improved Window Controls Many primary and secondary parameter-oriented windows have been enlarged, panels reordered, and most numeric text and listbox controls are revised to become numeric spinner-box controls, for improved clarity. Additionally, all date field increment, decrement, and popup calendar buttons are now navigable using the tab key systemwide. Dynamic contextual field and control management features are also improved, and systemwide toolbar button mouse rollover-help is also enhanced to better describe why/when specific menus and toolbar buttons are enabled or disabled. (All TourTrak editions provide complete contextual enabling / disabling of all entry fields, controls, toolbars, and menus, hiding or disabling and graying specific objects when not applicable, and enabling them only when they apply).
	Improved View Windows All spreadsheet-style View windows are revised to provide improved, default in-order tracking of records displayed in corresponding primary maintenance and inquiry windows. View windows also receive improved formatting, and are revised to center the majority of displayed data columns (i.e.: if a column is enlarged by dragging the column heading, data remains centered within the column). View windows are also revised to initialize faster, and the access speed of the "Display Record" feature (providing immediate navigation to records for maintenance, display, and reporting) is also improved. (View windows provide supplemental, spreadsheet-style, multi-row displays of your data, dynamically track in sync with primary application windows, provide adjustable window and column sizing and ordering, right-click activated sorting on any column, and enable immediate navigation to records for maintenance, inquiry, and reporting). And as with all secondary windows, view windows also provide newly enhanced smart-window popup menu features, including automatic window arrangement, layering, title bar and on-top settings, multiple help options, and more, as well as window-specific, application-related options.
	Improved Automatic Window Management Automatic window management features are revised to provide improved secondary window management (including optimal window sizing, positioning, and layering), better accounting for secondary window priorities and open, closed, and maximized window states. These features also now provide faster cycling through primary selections when using the "Cycle" menu or corresponding toolbar buttons. Additionally, all right-click activated smart-window popup menus for secondary windows now provide a new "Send to Back" selection, to send the active window to the bottom of the windows stack. This option is available for all secondary windows, including advertising, browser, photo, graph-query, view, par, and report windows. (This option was formerly displayed only if the window was in a maximized state). Note that either all or selected open windows can quickly be optimally arranged (sized, positioned, and layered) using the "Arrange Window" or "Arrange All" top-level or window-specific menu selections, corresponding toolbar buttons, or function keys. (All TourTrak editions offer automatic window management features to provide for the contextually-optimal, automatic (and on-demand) arrangement of all windows as primary and secondary windows are opened or closed or as TourTrak selections are launched or exited).
	Improved Help Systems Context-based full-size help, what's this help, and mouse-rollover help systems are significantly improved. The help index is expanded, and in addition to a variety of systemwide refinements, more than 50 new topics are added, including "Summary of Reports", "Printing Entrant Reports", and "Printing Scoring Reports", providing summary listings of relevant reporting and associated help links. (Subject to your choice of feature packages, TourTrak can provide hundreds of thousands of reporting variations).
	Redesign, Refinements, and Quality Control As mentioned in the introduction, TourTrak 8.0 benefits from hundreds of functional, visual, and usability-oriented enhancements. In addition to the hundreds of refinements in this release precluding detailed description here, many windows and processes have been entirely redesigned. This release also and importantly benefits from extensive quality control measures to further ensure flawless, bulletproof operation.

New in Version 7.0
Released in 2004, Version 7.0 releases of TourTrak scoring and tournament editions featured significant enhancements, including support for larger multiple-outing tournaments, additional leaderboard reporting, improved roll-forward, statistical, and tournament-spanning results reporting, improved scheduling, assignment, payout, skins, and WD/DQ management, improved broadcast reporting and broadcast advertising integration, further enhanced support for Windows XP, and much more. The table below details notable upgrades either introduced or enhanced in Versions 5.0 - 5.9, 6.0 - 6.5, or Version 7.0 releases of these editions.

	Improved Shotgun Start and Tee Time Scheduling Features Scoring and Tournament Editions now offer formerly optional scheduling features as standard equipment. The Scheduling Plus Package is discontinued, as virtually all features previously contained within this package are now included as standard equipment, including improved parameter-based shotgun start scheduling as well as enhanced tee time scheduling features applicable to multiple-outing tournaments. Shotgun start scheduling (as with tee time scheduling) is of course based on a variety of parameters, including desired scheduling methods, front 9/back 9/18 hole scheduling, number of individuals or teams per tee, starting times, and (in cases where the number of teams or individuals specified for an outing, in conjunction with the specified "Individuals / Teams per Tee" and "Number of Holes" parameters, exceeds 9 or 18 holes), scheduling intervals and multiple-tee hole priorities. When used with the Multiple Event Package, these editions also provide intra-tournament outings-to-date net and gross score scheduling for both tee time and shotgun start based outings (scheduling modes include "Outings-to-Date Net Scores: Low Scores First", "Outings-to-Date Net Scores: High Scores First", "Outings-to-Date Gross Scores: Low Scores First", and "Outings-to-Date Gross Scores: High Scores First"). Use of these scheduling modes (as well as scheduling modes "Low Handicaps First" and "High Handicaps First") additionally provides automatic first-in / last-out scheduling for tied entrants in multiple-outing events, based on your choice of prior outing tee times or score entry date / timestamps. Of note, the Pro Tour Edition adds support for automatic tee time scheduling using either Same, Alternating, or Split-Field starting hole assignments for tee time based outings.
	Improved Broadcast Reporting and Advertising Integration TourTrak's Report Broadcasting Package, when used in conjunction with the Advertising Package, now provides further enhanced broadcast reporting and advertising integration, offering new color override and synchronization features (when used together these packages offer integral, specialized support for simultaneous, televised broadcast results reporting and broadcast advertising — to monitors, TV and plasma screens, or LCD projectors — while providing specialized report broadcasting systems supporting broadcasting from multiple computers). Although background colors are specified for each created advertisement (as are the fore/background colors for the broadcast viewer), a new series of color synchronization options now allow you to dynamically match advertising backgrounds to that of the broadcast viewer, or to dynamically match the broadcast viewer's background to that of each advertisement as it is displayed. These features are beneficial to both split-screen and translucent-overlay broadcast advertising, providing professional, integrated, and seamless color transitions among reporting and advertising. These features are of course provided in addition to features providing complete control for the concurrent display of both broadcast reporting as well as your timed, rotating advertising images — including automatic advertising activation, automatic, optimal sizing and placement, and extensive broadcast reporting and advertising runtime control, for styles, fonts, colors, sizing, placement, and more. (View sample).
	New Entrant Spreadsheet Import Features As standard equipment, Scoring and Tournament Editions are enhanced to provide entrant spreadsheet import features. In the interest of ease of use and in contrast to the golfer database import features offered with the Spreadsheet Interface Package, entrant import features offer fixed spreadsheet format requirements (golfer import processes provide configurable spreadsheet-to-database field correspondence). Ideal for hosting corporate or other group-based events, these features effectively nominalize event setup, enabling courses to specify to pending clientele the columnar format for entrant spreadsheet files for subsequent one-step importation into the TourTrak entrant database for any specified event.
	New Tie Break and Reporting Packages Scoring and Tournament Editions are further redesigned to offer improved package options. The Convenience Feature Package is discontinued, as virtually all features previously contained within this package are now included as standard equipment. The new Tie Break Management and Reporting Plus Packages, comprised of both formerly integrated and optional features, are now offered to provide enhanced tie break control and enhanced master and results reporting respectively. The Tie Break Management Package provides complete control over the methods by which ties are automatically resolved — for flight and non-flight based events — for both intra-tournament outing / flight level (day-of-play) and aggregate tournament / flight level results and rankings — independently — for both entrants and teams — for gross, net, and format scores. The Reporting Plus Package is offered to provide an extensive variety of additional master, transaction, and results reporting, including highly optionable, query-based golfer, course, tournament, outing, entrant, and score reporting, a variety of large-scale reporting (designed for printing on page-size labels or other large media), as well as an array of additional scoring, ranking, and roll-forward results reporting for net scores, gross scores, format scores, and/or all scores — ordered by scores or golfer names — for specific intra-tournament outings, specific outing flights, or aggregate tournaments — for members only, guests only, members and guests, team aggregates, or team aggregates and intra-team, team-member detail — and for your choice of official results or dynamic results (i.e.: exclusive of flights and/or chosen tie break methods, and/or for only members vs. members or only guests vs. guests, etc.).
	Improved Entrants-to-Outings Drag-and-Drop Assignment TourTrak's Entrant QuickBuild™ entrants-to-outings drag-and-drop windows are revised to offer improved ease-of-use. As with the Entrant Group Management Package's newly improved automatic window scaling features applicable to drag-and-drop team, flight, tee time, and cart assignment, a new Enlarge/Reduce button is now provided for entrants-to-outings drag-and-drop assignment — to automatically size the window and scale all drag-and-drop source and target boxes relative to the size of your screen, based on your screen resolution. Other open TourTrak subwindows (i.e.: view, photo, report, graph, par, browser, advertising windows, etc.) are also automatically arranged whenever these windows are enlarged or reduced. Detailed golfer and entrant information popup panels are also provided for both golfers and entrants, and the Professional and Pro Tour Editions are also revised to include golfer member numbers adjacent to golfer names within both golfer-source and entrant-target drag-and-drop controls.
	Improved Support for Larger Multiple Outing Tournaments TourTrak's optional Multiple Event Package, when ordered with the Professional or Pro Tour Editions, now provides support for greater numbers of intra-tournament events. Whereas previous releases supported a maximum of 7 outings (days-of-play) per tournament, this package now provides support for play of up to 14 outings per tournament in conjunction with complete tournament-level aggregation, or computation of overall results — for gross, net, and format scores, rankings, statistics, and payouts, and when combined with the Event Plus Package, for any intra-tournament, day-of-play combinations of diverse scoring formats, 9, 18, 27, or 36 hole play, front or back 9 play, team or non-team based play, and flight or non-flight based play. Note that in TourTrak, the term "Outings" indicates the days of play, or events within a parent tournament, and the term "Rounds" indicates hole sets of 9 or 18 holes within an outing (day-of-play), and that the optional Event Plus Package provides support for up to 2 rounds per outing, enabling play of 9, 18, 27, or 36 holes per day-of-play, in any combination of front or back 9 play. Also note that the Event Plus Package additionally offers both scores transference and advanced tournament and intra-tournament outing duplication features, allowing you to run varying format scenarios and generate results immediately without having to reenter entrant scores — allowing you to transform entire tournaments or individual intra-tournament days-of-play into a near-infinite number of varied events — without reentering a single score. (To that end, these editions also provide iterative control for all event parameters, allowing virtually all tournament and/or intra-tournament outing parameters to be changed and results regenerated as often as desired, and available in-line skins-play and concurrent team / entrant payout management features also help to minimize the number of potentially-required logical events). Additionally, the available Statistics Package provides a variety of tournament-spanning reporting for all eligibly-specified tournaments and golfers within your specified date ranges, including both golfer performance history and golfer order of merit reporting.
	Additional Tournament-Level, Wide Detail Leaderboard Reporting TourTrak now provides additional leaderboard reporting. In addition to the existing array of summary and detail leaderboards, new tournament-level, wide detail leaderboard reporting is provided to to accommodate tournaments containing up to 14 outings (days-of-play). As with other detail leaderboard reporting, these leaderboards dynamically expand horizontally as necessary to accommodate multiple intra-tournament outings. And as with virtually all TourTrak results reporting, both summary and detail leaderboards may be generated at intra-tournament outing / flight levels as well as at aggregate tournament / flight levels, and for your choice of members only, guests only, members and guests, team aggregates only, or team aggregates and intra-team, team member detail. And as with all leaderboard reporting, awarded entrant and/or team payout distributions may also be optionally displayed, for your choice of individual (member/guest) winnings only, apportioned team-member payout distributions for team winnings only, or both individual (member/guest) winnings and apportioned team-member payout distributions for team winnings. (TourTrak supports concurrent team and entrant payouts, and automatically distributes, or apportions team winnings to individual team members).
	Improved Tournament-Spanning Reporting All tournament-spanning reporting provided by the Statistics Package (including golfer tournament performance history and order of merit reporting, as well as entry fee history reporting), now offers improved selectivity over both tournament and golfer eligibility for these reports. In addition to tournament date range selection and rounds-played selectivity, these reports now provide capabilities enabling tournaments and/or golfers to be independently included or excluded based on their relative "Merit" settings (merit classifications are maintainable for both golfers and tournaments).
	Improved Automatic Reports-to-HTML Web Page Generation The automatic reports-to-HTML web page generation features provided with the Results Inquiry Package are significantly enhanced. This package now provides complete control over HTML display properties for generated web pages, offering independent property management for default page, heading, and report body attributes, including fonts, fore and background colors, spacing, borders, background images, and more.
	Enhanced Support for Windows XP Scoring and tournament editions (as with all TourTrak editions) now provide enhanced support for Windows XP (including dynamic support for XP themes), offering Windows XP-oriented interfaces (all windows, toolbars, menus, buttons, fields, and controls are revised) and all-new graphics (scoring and tournament editions now contain nearly 1000 graphics) as well as highly improved automatic window management, offering dynamic, contextually-optimal window arrangement of all windows as primary and secondary application windows and subwindows are opened or closed.
	Improved Report Broadcasting The Professional and Pro Tour Editions may now be ordered to include TourTrak's redesigned Report Broadcasting Package. The optional Report Broadcasting Package is now offered as a complete software-based broadcasting subsystem, offering capabilities enabling you to broadcast, or televise tournament results. This package provides multiple, advanced report broadcasting systems designed to facilitate the unattended broadcasting of reports — including both interim (as-of, up-to-the minute) and final results reporting — to monitors, TV and plasma screens, or LCD projectors — and broadcasting can originate from the TourTrak-hosted computer or from a separate computer designated for standalone, dedicated report broadcasting and optional, simultaneous broadcast advertising. When used in conjunction with the Advertising Package, this package provides integral, specialized support for simultaneous, televised broadcast results reporting and split-screen or translucent-overlay broadcast sponsor advertising.
	Multiple-Computer Report Broadcasting Systems TourTrak's newly redesigned Report Broadcasting Package now provides specialized report broadcasting systems supporting broadcasting from multiple computers, offering both integrated and standalone systems so that broadcasting can be performed from the computer hosting the TourTrak application, as well as externally, from a separate computer designated for standalone, dedicated report broadcasting and optional, simultaneous broadcast advertising. Multiple broadcast viewers are especially beneficial when broadcasting interim results (TourTrak supports interim (as-of, up-to-the-minute) scoring and results reporting), since broadcasting can originate from a separate computer while score entry continues on the TourTrak-hosted computer. This package also provides report transfer utilities to automate report transference, and when used with the Advertising Package, both advertising maintenance and advertising database and image transfer utilities for each broadcasting system, enabling broadcast advertising to be maintained and synchronized across multiple computers.
	Enhanced Advertising Control TourTrak's Advertising Package now provides enhanced advertising classification and control through the use of advertising "set" management. Assigned to each advertisement, advertising "sets" are used to group like advertisements (i.e.: for groups of sponsors, local merchants, your organization, specific events, etc.). When toggled on, advertising can now be directed to display only those advertisements assigned to specified single or multiple "active" advertising sets, and multiple-set advertising can be displayed in either sequential or alternating fashion (based upon your specified set order and intra-set ad display order). Advertising sets can also be ignored, to enable the display of all advertisements. Individual advertisement status and start / end date qualifiers also remain in effect to further qualify advertisements for display.
	Revised Entrant Group Management Package Features TourTrak's Entrant Group Management Package now provides exclusive support for any combination of automatic and manual (complete or partial) entrant team, flight, cart, and tee time assignment (featuring automatic assignment of unassigned or incomplete manually assigned entrants — to teams, flights, carts, and tee times). When not using this package, TourTrak provides support for your choice of either all-automatic or all-manual (complete-only) entrant assignment, allowing assignment of all entrants to teams manually OR automatically, of all entrants to flights manually OR automatically, of all entrants to carts manually OR automatically, and of all entrants to tee times manually OR automatically. (Note that entrant assignments can always be manually fine-tuned, or adjusted, once assigned). In other words, the Entrant Group Management Package now exclusively provides support for incomplete, selective / partial, manual assignment (for entrant teams, flights, carts, and/or tee times), offering automatic completion of entrant assignments for unassigned or incomplete entrant team, flight, cart, and/or tee time values, in addition to real-time validated drag-and-drop assignment and specialized reporting.
	Improved Entrant Group Management Package Features TourTrak's Entrant Group Management Package, in addition to offering team, flight, tee time, and cart drag-and-drop assignability, now provides right-click activated popup windows to enable point-and-click entrant assignment, deassignment, and reassignment, in addition to drag-and-drop assignment features. A new Enlarge/Reduce button is also provided to automatically size the window and scale all drag-and-drop source and target boxes relative to the size of your screen, based on your screen resolution. (Popup point-and-click and team name assignment windows are also scaled accordingly). New "undo" functionality is also provided (in addition to session-cancel), allowing individual prior assignments to be reversed, whether performed via drag-and-drop or point-and-click assignment. This package also offers improved real-time and on-demand assignment validation, improved intermediate-session save and cancel functionality, and improved toolbar functionality.
	Improved Report Formatting New results reporting options are provided to allow scoring format names (i.e.: "Low Gross", "Low Net", "Best Ball", "Stableford Points", "Peoria", etc.) to be optionally omitted from all aggregate tournament and intra-tournament outing (day-of-play) level results reporting, including tournament and outing-level leaderboards. (Note: Format names are normally displayed above score columns on tournament-level reporting and within top-level headings on outing-level reporting). The new Results Reporting Options window (in addition to menu and toolbar button toggles) also provides settings for the optional printing of reporting footnotes (i.e.: notations, accuracy alerts, etc.) and summary totals on separate pages, as well as for a variety of leaderboard option settings, including "cut" entrant display settings and payout column options.
	Improved Photo / Image Control TourTrak's Photo Display / Team Names Package, which automatically displays your associated photos as records are displayed, now offers new display settings enabling photos to be designated for display at actual size (and windows automatically sized accordingly), or to be proportionally scaled or non-proportionally stretched automatically. Improved image linking functionality is also provided via improved image selection windows, enabling selected photos to be displayed internally within these windows as well as externally in separate windows. Supported image formats now include JPEG (.jpg) files, GIF (.gif) files, animated GIF (.gif) files, TIFF (.tif) files, and windows bitmaps (*.bmp).
	Improved Toolbars All toolbar buttons relating to option toggles (i.e.: view windows, graph query windows, photo windows, par-reference windows, separate-page reporting footnotes, etc.) now display the state of the toggle whenever the mouse cursor is rolled over the button. Additionally, when clicking these buttons, timed popup windows are displayed to indicate the new option state.
	Improved View Windows TourTrak's View Windows (offering supplemental, spreadsheet-style, multi-row displays of your data) are now enhanced to retain column attributes, providing persistent column size and order when columns are manually arranged. (Note: View windows exist concurrently with and dynamically track in sync with primary application windows, provide adjustable window and column sizing and ordering, right-click activated sorting on any column, and enable immediate navigation to records for maintenance, display, and reporting via "Display Record" buttons, right-click activated popup menus, or by double-clicking on desired rows. View windows are provided for golfers, courses, tournaments, outings, entrants, scores, advertisements, and, when used with the Results Inquiry Package, entrant and/or team results, at both intra-tournament outing and aggregate tournament levels, including gross, net, and format scores and rankings, as well as payout distributions).
	Automatic Reports-to-Email Generation TourTrak's Results Inquiry Package now supports automatic reports-to-email generation, providing capabilities enabling the automatic creation of email messages or attachments from any report, and in your choice of HTML or text formats.
	Improved Score Master Reporting TourTrak now provides additional score master reporting. "Scoring-Only" detail reports omit outing and entrant details (unlike standard scoring reports), while also providing printing options enabling inclusion of your choice (in any combination) of per-hole par, gross score, net score, and/or format score for each entrant, as well as optional inclusion of course names and/or scoring formats. Standard score master reporting is also revised to offer similar reporting options. Note: Score master reports are provided as audit-oriented additions to the extensive array of reporting offered by the Reporting Plus Package, including leaderboard, gross, net, and format score detail, summary, roll-forward, ranking, payout, and statistical results reporting at both intra-tournament outing (day-of-play) / flight and aggregate tournament / flight levels.
	Improved Payout Allocations TourTrak's Payouts Package's payout allocation framework, allowing you to specify the amounts you intend to disburse (prior to ranked payout definition entry), is improved, providing the ability to bypass entry of estimated numbers of entrants and associated fees for each fee category (Discount, Special, and Standard, specified separately for members and guests). A new "Bypass Fees" checkbox, when checked, allows manual entry of a singularly-specified "Total Allocation" value, which can then be allocated (allocations consist of not-to-exceed amounts applicable to subsequent ranked payout definitions for team, skins, individual member-entrant, and individual guest-entrant directed payouts at intra-tournament outing (day-of-play)/flight and/or aggregate tournament/flight levels). Tournament master reporting is also modified to omit estimates and fees, if bypassed. A new "Display Diagram" button is also provided to display an overlay flowchart diagram for all window fields. Lastly, both mouse-tracking and contextual field-label highlighting are provided to improve ease of data entry.
	Improved Golfer Tournament Performance History Reporting TourTrak's Statistics Package now offers improved tournament-spanning, golfer tournament performance history reporting for single, all, or select groups of golfers. These reports detail individual golfer performance and winnings, including gross, net, and format scores and associated rankings for tournaments and their outings (days-of-play) within any specified date range. As with order of merit reporting, these reports now enable optional inclusion of entrant payout totals (including your choice of entrant-directed payouts only, apportioned entrant payout distributions from team-directed payouts only, or both entrant-directed and apportioned team-directed payout distributions), skins payout totals, and/or end-of-report summary payout totals. Golfers may also be ordered by your choice of either aggregate gross, net, or format scores in combination with your choice of either entrant-awarded payouts only, team distributed payouts only, entrant-awarded and team distributed payouts, or skins payouts. (TourTrak supports concurrent team and entrant payouts, and automatically distributes, or apportions team winnings to individual team members).
	New Support for "Team Skins" TourTrak's Skins Package now provides complete support for "Team Skins". While standard, individuals-based skins may be played for either individual or team-based outings, team skins become available only for team-based outings (outings playing teams). Team skins may be designated for play in either standard fashion (using cumulative team per-hole scores), or in best ball fashion (using single-best team per-hole scores). Team skins play also provides the same skins-play options offered for standard skins, enabling any combination of net vs. gross skins, flight vs. field skins, and carryover vs. no carryover skins, as well as payout rounding control. When using the Multiple Event Package, both standard and team skins may be used interchangeably among the outings within a tournament. Specialized team skins results reporting is also provided, and standard skins results reporting is also fully compatible for use with team skins based outings. And when used in conjunction with the Payouts Package, team skins payouts, as with all team-directed payouts, are automatically distributed, or apportioned to individual team members. Team skins are also fully compatible with No-Show flagged entrants, enabling team skins play for absentee entrants while apportioning aggregate team skins payouts to only non-absentee team members.
	New Packages Scoring and Tournament Editions are further redesigned to offer improved package options. The new Multiple Event and Event Plus Packages, comprised of both formerly integrated and optional features, are now offered to provide enhanced support for multiple-outing tournaments, including mixed-format, multiple-round, multiple outing tournaments, as well as advanced duplication features previously available only in other packages. Accordingly, pricing has also been reduced by as much as 50 percent for these editions.
	New Scores Transference Features TourTrak's Event Plus Package now provides the ability to transfer, or copy scores from any tournament outing (day-of-play) to any other tournament outing for matching entrants, providing an alternative to that of TourTrak-assisted tournament duplication and/or intra-tournament duplication of outing entrants and scores whenever an outing is duplicated. This feature offers an additional means by which varied format, format variations, skins-play options, tie break parameters, or alternate payout schedules may be applied to identically scored outings (scores may also be changed, of course) without having to reenter entrant scores — i.e.: compare results or award alternate payouts for Net Skins vs. Gross Skins, or Team Skins vs. Standard Skins, or Carryover Skins vs. Non-Carryover Skins, or Flight vs. Field Skins, or Net vs. Gross vs. Format Scores, or Peoria vs. Low Net, or Stableford Points vs. Best Ball, or differing Stableford Point hole values, or differing Best Balls per hole, or differing tie break or tie payout methods, etc.
	New Golfer Order of Merit Reporting TourTrak's Statistics Package now offers Golfer Order of Merit reporting. Order of Merit reports detail cumulative (tournament-spanning), flight-independent, individual golfer rankings and scores (your choice of gross, net, or format scores) for golfers entered in tournaments within any specified date range, and provide complete entrant WD/DQ/Cut as well as rounds-played accountability. Outing and golfer eligibility for these reports may be specified on both a per-outing and a per-golfer basis, enabling you to selectively define applicable outings and golfers eligible for order of merit reporting. These reports also enable optional inclusion of entrant payout totals (including your choice of entrant-directed payouts only, apportioned entrant payout distributions from team-directed payouts only, or both entrant-directed and apportioned team-directed payout distributions), skins payout totals, and/or end-of-report summary payout totals. Golfers may be ranked by your choice of either aggregate gross, net, or format scores in combination with your choice of either entrant-awarded payouts only, team distributed payouts only, entrant-awarded and team distributed payouts, or skins payouts. (TourTrak supports concurrent team and entrant payouts, and automatically distributes, or apportions team winnings to individual team members). And as with virtually all TourTrak results reports, Order of Merit reports are ideally suited for report broadcasting.
	Improved Leaderboard and Scoring Results Reporting All leaderboard reporting, as well as all results reporting provided with the Reporting Plus Package, including all-score, net, gross, and format score reporting (for both tournament aggregates or specified outings and/or flights, for your choice of teams, teams and intra-team team-member detail, individual member-classed entrants only, individual guest-classed entrants only, or members and guests), now display "Round 1" and "Round 2" scores for each outing (day-of-play) within a tournament only when multiple rounds are played for an outing. Note that the term "Outings", as used in TourTrak, indicates the days of play, or events within a tournament, and "Rounds" indicates hole sets of 9 or 18 holes within an intra-tournament outing (day-of-play), and that the Event Plus Package provides support up to 2 rounds per outing, enabling play of 9, 18, 27, or 36 holes per day-of-play, in any combination of front or back 9 play.
	New Tournament Summary Leaderboards TourTrak now offers tournament summary leaderboards in addition to detail leaderboard reporting. Summary leaderboards are primarily applicable to multiple-outing tournaments, and forgo the display of each intra-tournament outing's team and/or entrant detail scores, displaying only aggregate scores and +/- par values for teams and/or entrants for all outings within a tournament. Summary leaderboards may also be used for tournaments containing multiple-round outings, as they also forgo intra-outing per-round (hole-set) detail scores in favor of aggregate-only scores. As with other leaderboards, awarded entrant and/or team payout distribution amounts may also be optionally displayed, as specified on the Results Reporting Options window. Summary leaderboards are also ideal for interim score reporting and broadcasting in multiple-outing tournaments.
	New Leaderboard Options TourTrak now provides the option to append an additional column — "Total Purse" — to tournament and outing leaderboards. When using TourTrak's optional Payouts Package, this column displays computed tournament aggregate or outing-level payout totals, for team and/or individual payout amounts, based on chosen reporting selections for Result Level and Group. Individual payout amounts for members and guests may be designated to include your choice of individual (member/guest) winnings only, apportioned team-member payout distributions for team winnings only, or both individual (member/guest) winnings and apportioned team-member payout distributions for team winnings, and intentionally exclude skins payouts. (TourTrak supports concurrent team and entrant payouts, and automatically distributes, or apportions team winnings to individual team members). For customers not opting for the Payouts Package, this column may still be appended as an additional, blank column. The heading text for this column (i.e.: "Total Purse") may also be specified using the new Results Reporting Options window.
	Free-form Comments / Notation Entry and Reporting TourTrak now provides for the entry and reporting of unlimited free-form comments or notations, for tournaments, golfers, and courses. Reporting options are expanded to offer new "Include Comments" checkboxes, for the optional inclusion of comments on all tournament, golfer, and course master reporting.
	Improved WD / DQ TourTrak's WD/DQ Package now provides intelligent, realtime WD/DQ assistance, featuring auto-withdrawal assistant popup windows for the optional, automatic WD/DQ of the specific entrant and/or all team members from the current and/or all future outings of a tournament. TourTrak also provides improved WD/DQ accountability on all interim and final results reporting.
	Support for "No Show" / Absentee Entrants TourTrak's WD/DQ Package now provides support for "No Show", or absentee entrants in team-based outings. For entrants flagged as "No Shows", TourTrak will automatically assign scores to entrants from other similarly-handicapped outing entrants, chosen randomly from within the "No Show" entrants' computed A/B/C/D handicap ranges. "No-Show" entrants are never paid — teams containing "No Show" flagged entrants will be apportioned team-directed payouts amongst only non-absentee team members, for both outing-level and aggregate tournament-level defined payouts. Individual payouts, if won by "No Show" flagged entrants (TourTrak supports concurrent team and entrant payouts), will not be paid, and will comprise portions of "Not Paid" amounts displayed on tournament payout summary and detail reports. And just as withdrawn or disqualified entrants are prefaced with "WD/" or "DQ/", "No Show" entrants are prefaced with "NS/" on all applicable results reporting.
	Support for "Cutting" the Tournament Field TourTrak's WD/DQ Package now provides support for "cutting" entrants or entire teams from tournaments, based on your choice of intra-tournament, outings-to-date "Gross Score Rank", "Net Score Rank", "Format Score Rank", "Gross Score Over Par", "Net Score Over Par", or "Format Score Over Par" specified values. Preliminary cut reports are generated for confirmation, and entrants, once cut, may optionally be included (listed last and flagged) or excluded from tournament-level leaderboards.
	Improved Support for Qualifier / Elimination Tournaments TourTrak's WD/DQ Package now provides specialized support for qualifier, or elimination-style tournaments. In addition to WD/DQ capabilities and features provided for "cutting" the tournament field, this package also now provides features enabling the importation of individual entrants or entire teams from other TourTrak tournaments based on qualifying results. Entrants may be imported based on your choice of either team-aggregate or individual entrant aggregate-tournament results — for your choice of either "Gross Score Rank", "Net Score Rank", "Format Score Rank", "Gross Score Over Par", "Net Score Over Par", or "Format Score Over Par" specified values — as computed for source, qualifying tournaments. When used with a Flight Package, imported, qualifying entrants may also be simultaneously and automatically assigned to flights, based on requested rank/over-par qualifiers and the number of requested flights. And as with "cutting" features, preliminary import reports are automatically generated for confirmation prior to performing an import.
	Aggregate Tournament-Level and Intra-Tournament Outing-Level "Tie Break Methods" The new Tie Break Management Package is now offered to provide control over the methods by which ties are automatically resolved — for both aggregate tournament-level and intra-tournament outing-level (day-of-play) results and rankings — for both entrants and teams — for gross, net, and format scores. "Tie Break Methods" are specified separately for the aggregate tournament-level as well as for each intra-tournament outing, and include "USGA Standard", "Backward from 18", "Backward from 9", "Forward from 1", "Forward from 10", "Scorecard Hole Handicap", and "None". Of note, and as with payout definitions, both "Tie Break Methods" and "Tie Payout Methods" (described below) may be changed and results regenerated as often as desired.
	Aggregate Tournament-Level and Intra-Tournament Outing-Level "Tie Payout Methods" TourTrak's Payouts Package, when used in conjunction with the Tie Break Management Package, now provides control over the methods by which team and/or entrant-directed payouts are awarded to tied teams and/or entrants. As with "Tie Break Methods" (described above), "Tie Payout Methods" are specified separately for the aggregate tournament-level and for each intra-tournament outing (day-of-play). Payouts can be designated to be awarded prior to resolving ties, or to be awarded after ties are resolved, based on chosen "Tie Break Methods". When awarded prior to resolving ties and ties exist (or deadlocks exist after resolving ties), payouts are summed and apportioned to tied entrants and/or teams. Of note, and as with payout definitions, both "Tie Payout Methods" and "Tie Break Methods" may be changed and results regenerated as often as desired.
	Flight or Field Aggregate Tournament-Level Payout Management TourTrak's Payouts Package, when used with a Flight Package, now allows aggregate tournament-level payouts for entrants and/or teams to be defined and awarded based on your choice of either a "Per-Flight" or "Entire Field" basis. Whereas outing (day-of-play) level payouts have always been defined and awarded respective of flights, previous TourTrak releases offered only flight-independent aggregate tournament-level payout management. Now, both flight-dependent and flight-independent results and payouts, for both teams and entrants, may be generated at the aggregate tournament level, and both flight-dependent and flight-independent results and flight-dependent payouts may be generated at intra-tournament outing (day-of-play) levels.
	Improved Payout Reporting TourTrak's Payouts Package's tournament payout summary results reports and tournament payout detail reports now display "Tournament Defined Payouts by Flight", detailing defined tournament-level payouts by flight and rank for teams, members, and guests. These reports also display "Tournament Payout Summaries by Flight", detailing defined versus actual payouts, by flight, for teams, members, and guests. These reports are also modified to display, for both aggregate tournament and intra-tournament outing level flight-based payouts, per-rank and per-flight totals and subtotals both horizontally and vertically, for both defined and actual payouts.
	Improved Dynamic Results Reporting Dynamic result grouping and ranking is improved via the addition of a "Dynamic Ranking" checkbox to the Results Reporting window. Dynamic ranking allows for the override of official rankings — enabling, for example, members to be dynamically ranked versus only other members, or guests to be dynamically ranked versus only other guests, exclusive of chosen tie break methods, inclusive or exclusive of flights, for gross, net, or format scores. Additionally, dynamic, flight-independent team, member, guest, and/or all entrant results may be generated utilizing or not utilizing chosen "Tie Break Methods" at both aggregate tournament and/or intra-tournament outing levels, for teams, members only, guests only, or members and guests, for gross, net, or format scores, for comparative purposes.
	Improved Outing-Level, All-Entrant Handicap Limitation In addition to capabilities enabling handicap limitation (based on specified USGA Index "knock down" percentages) on a per-entrant basis, TourTrak's Handicap Feature Package now provides handicap limitation for all entrants in an outing based on your choice of singularly specified "knock down" percentages applicable to all entrants, or handicap-class based percentages specified separately for A/B/C/D handicap classes (TourTrak automatically classifies the entrant field). Of note, all-entrant and individual handicap limitation may be employed in conjunction with each other.
	Improved Tee Time Scheduling for Tied Entrants TourTrak now offers automatic first-in / last-out scheduling for tied entrants in multiple-outing events based on your choice of either prior outing tee times or score entry date / timestamps (previous releases provided support only for prior tee times). First-in / last-out scheduling applies for scheduling methods "Low Handicaps First" or "High Handicaps First", as well as for scheduling methods applicable only to multiple outing tournaments, including intra-tournament "Outings-to-Date Net Scores: Low Scores First", "Outings-to-Date Net Scores: High Scores First", "Outings-to-Date Gross Scores: Low Scores First", and "Outings-to-Date Gross Scores: High Scores First". Of note, scoring date / time stamps may be reset on a per-entrant basis at any time.
	Improved Automatic Tournament and Outing Duplication Assistance TourTrak's Event Plus Package now offers improved TourTrak-assisted duplication features, providing duplication-assistant popup windows when either intra-tournament outings (days-of-play) or entire tournaments are duplicated, for the optional, automatic duplication of tournament outings and entrants, as well as optional duplication of all scores and results. Since outing formats, format parameters, skins-play options, tie break parameters, payouts, and more may be changed for outings at any time, you can very quickly generate and compare results or apply alternate payout schedules for differing scoring formats, format variations, skins-play options, tie break and tie payout methods, and more, without having to reenter entrant scores — i.e.: compare results or award alternate payouts for Net Skins vs. Gross Skins, or Team Skins vs. Standard Skins, or Carryover Skins vs. Non-Carryover Skins, or Flight vs. Field Skins, or Net vs. Gross vs. Format Scores, or Peoria vs. Low Net, or Stableford Points vs. Best Ball, or differing Stableford Point hole values, or differing Best Balls per hole, or differing tie break or tie payout methods, etc.
	Improved Manual Entrant Group Assignment Architecture TourTrak's Entrant Group Management Package now provides a radically improved, multi-dimensional drag-and-drop approach to manual entrant team, flight, cart, and tee time assignment, deassignment, and reassignment, and both assigned entrants and unassigned entrants may be sorted independently on your choice of entrant names, handicaps, teams, flights, carts, or tee times. In addition to improved real-time and on-demand assignment validation, membership counters for each team, flight, cart, and tee time are also now displayed.
	Improved Automatic Team, Flight, Cart, and Tee Time Scheduling Automatic entrant team, flight, cart, and tee time scheduling is now more accurately performed, as the database now computes and stores outing-adjusted team average handicaps as well as both team and individual intra-tournament, outings-to-date average net scores with decimal precision.
	Improved Automatic Flight Scheduling TourTrak Flight Packages now provide a new automatic entrant flight assignment method — "Low-with-High Handicaps". "Low-with-High Handicaps" indicates that flight assignment will be based on lowest-paired-with-highest handicap groupings — i.e.: Flight "A" will contain the lowest handicap entrant and the highest handicap entrant, Flight "B" will contain the next highest and the next lowest, etc., and cycle based on the number of requested flights. (Note: Other automatic flight assignment methods include "Low-to-High Handicaps", "Specified Handicap Ranges", and qualifier-oriented, specified values for intra-tournament, outings-to-date gross, net, or format rank, and gross, net, or format scores-over-par).
	Improved Entrant Group Reporting Entrant Group Reports, when ordered by flight, now page-break by flight and display outing-adjusted per-flight average handicaps. These reports also now use decimal precision (i.e.: nn.n) for the display of outing-adjusted team average handicaps.
	Improved Team Average Handicap Reporting Team Average Handicap Reports, as with Entrant Group Reports, now provide additional report ordering and grouping options, including "Flight and Team Number", "Flight and Team Average Adjusted Handicap", "Team Number", "Team Average Adjusted Handicap", "Team Outings-to-Date Average Net Score", and "Team Size". When ordered by flight, these reports now also provide individual column totals (for members, guests, home total and average handicaps, outing-adjusted total and average handicaps, and intra-tournament outings-to-date team average net scores), and automatically page-break by flight. These reports also now use decimal precision (i.e.: nn.n) for displaying both outing-adjusted team average handicaps and intra-tournament outings-to-date team average net scores.
	Improved Scoring Entry TourTrak now offers one-touch scoring entry, popup par-reference windows in your choice of horizontal or vertical styles, and score entry ordering based on your choice of either entrant names or tee times.
	Improved Statistical Results Reporting Results-based statistical reporting provided with the Statistics Package, including average hole score, hole score summary, hole rank summary, and scoring / handicap variance reports (for gross scores or net scores, for tournament aggregates or specified outings and/or flights, for your choice of team aggregates, team aggregates and intra-team team-member detail, individual member-classed entrants only, individual guest-classed entrants only, or members and guests) are enhanced to provide improved statistical reporting accuracy as well as improved formatting. Additionally, all results reports feature improved management of both WD/DQ entrants and interim scoring (as-of, up-to-the-minute results reporting).
	Pin Positions TourTrak now provides entry for course-based pin positions, for optional inclusion when printing standard scorecards. Pin positions are specified on a per-course, per-hole basis, and include "From Front" and "From Side" entries.
	Improved Scorecards TourTrak's standard scorecards may now be designated to print one or two cards per page, optionally include course pin positions and/or line graphics, and be ordered by teams, entrant names, or tee times.
	Support for Larger Events TourTrak Professional and Pro Tour Editions now provide support for up to 600 entrants, 300 teams, and 300 carts per outing (day-of-play).
	Support for Larger Payouts TourTrak's Payouts Package now supports allocations and payouts in amounts of up to $9,999,999.99 per tournament.
	Multiple Entry Fee Categories TourTrak now provides multiple entry fee categories, including "Discount", "Special", and "Standard". When used with TourTrak's Payouts Package, entry fee-paid categories, specified for each entrant during either entrant or scores entry, correspond to individual entry fee amount values specified for each fee category in the tournament payout allocations window.
	Improved Payout Allocations TourTrak's Payouts Package's payout allocation framework, allowing you to specify the amounts you intend to disburse (prior to ranked payout definition entry), is significantly improved, enabling entry of estimated entrants and individual entry fees for each fee category, as described above. Since allocations are typically based on estimated entry fees, allocation amounts for teams, members, guests, and skins can now be more accurately determined. Actual numbers of entrants (as entered) for each fee category are also computed and displayed adjacent to estimated entry fields.
	Golfer Tournament Entry Fee Reporting TourTrak's Payouts Package now provides golfer history reporting for golfer tournament entry fees. A set of new reports (in addition to golfer results-oriented history reports) detail golfer entry fees and fee totals for tournaments within your specified date range, and can be generated for the displayed golfer or all queried golfers. In addition to golfer entry fee history reporting, tournament entry fee reporting is also provided to display golfers, their designated fee categories, fee amounts, and entry fee totals on a per tournament basis.
	Improved Entrant Entry TourTrak's entrant window now features a "More / Less" button, to display or hide all entrant information (excepting last and first name) — when details are hidden, an integral grid displays all entrants assigned to the displayed outing within the window.
	Date and Currency Internationalization TourTrak now offers selection of preferred formatting styles for dates, for all entry, display, and reporting. Date formatting styles include mm/dd/yyyy, mm-dd-yyyy, dd/mm/yyyy, dd-mm-yyyy, dd.mm.yyyy, yyyy.mm.dd, and yyyy-mm-dd. Monetary currency symbols can also be defined, you can specify dollar "$", euro "€", pound "£", yen "¥", etc.
	New Import and Export Features TourTrak's Spreadsheet Interface Package now supports transference from / to popular spreadsheet formats, including Microsoft Excel and Lotus 123. Export features are now provided for golfers, courses, tournaments, outings, entrants, scores, and result-ranked entrants (including total payouts).
	Automatic Reports-to-HTML Web Page Generation TourTrak's Results Inquiry Package now provides capabilities enabling the automatic generation of HTML web page files (.htm, .html) from any report. Professionally-styled web pages can instantly be generated for virtually every report, and subsequently viewed using a web browser or published on the web. TourTrak also automatically launches and displays generated web pages within your choice of your default system browser (i.e.: Internet Explorer) or TourTrak's internal, Internet Explorer-based web browser.
	Integral Web Browsers Scoring and Tournament Editions (as well as Awards, Tee Time, and Parimutuel Deluxe Editions) now provide internal, Internet Explorer-based web browsers as standard features. Residing within floating (non-modal) windows, they provide large subsets of features available within Internet Explorer, enabling you to view web pages within TourTrak full-screen windows. When maximized, specialized title bars are applied, allowing them to serve as full-screen, navigable, web-based application backdrops. When not maximized, browser windows (as with other windows) automatically self-arrange as other windows are launched or when cycling through TourTrak selections — accounting for toolbar existence/nonexistence, docked toolbar locations, other open windows, display resolution, etc., so as not to exceed the size of your display as well as to optimize window coexistence. HTML-generated reports (available with the Results Inquiry Package) may also be directed to be automatically displayed within your choice of your default system browser (i.e.: Internet Explorer) or the internal web browser.
	Improved Reporting Viewers TourTrak's on-screen reporting viewers are reengineered to provide enhanced functionality and ease of use. Report viewers now exist as floating (non-modal) windows within TourTrak full-screen application windows, and both full-screen and and right-click activated popup menus now provide enhanced formatting control (for fonts, colors, and margins) as well as printing and optional HTML web page generation features. And as with other non-modal subwindows, including View, Photo, Graph-Query, Par, Browser, and Advertising windows, automatic window management may be toggled on for report windows, to provide both on-demand and automatic, contextually-optimal window arrangement as other windows are opened or closed or as TourTrak selections are launched or exited.
	The Advertising Package The Professional and Pro Tour Editions may now be ordered to include TourTrak's optional Advertising Package. The Advertising Package provides full-featured advertising management and display subsystems, offering capabilities enabling the managed display of your advertising images (photos, graphics, animation, etc.) and concurrent advertising audio — to monitors, TV and plasma screens, or LCD projectors. This package is especially effective when used in conjunction with the Report Broadcasting Package, offering integral, specialized support for simultaneous, televised broadcast results reporting and broadcast advertising — to monitors, TV and plasma screens, or LCD projectors — and broadcasting can originate from the TourTrak-hosted computer or from a separate computer designated for standalone, dedicated report broadcasting and optional, simultaneous broadcast advertising. Specialized Advertising / Broadcast integration features additionally provide enhanced control for report broadcasting in conjunction with split-screen or translucent-overlay broadcast sponsor advertising.
