REASONABLE QUESTIONS.

No. Whoever’s organizing sets the Loop up. Everyone else opens a link, taps their name and keys a four-digit PIN. Claiming an account is optional. It only matters if you want your record to follow you.

Better ball, aggregate, Stableford, shamble, scramble, alternate shot, singles, Cheetah, Scotch, Umbrella and net skins with carryovers, plus a full Ryder Cup running across several rounds. Every round can be a different game.

You enter an index for each player: yours once, theirs when you build the roster. Loop works out the shots for each format, so 90% of the difference in better ball and the full index in Stableford. Every player sees their pops on the card. Automatic GHIN lookup is on the list, but not in the beta.

No, and that is deliberate. Loop keeps the book and nets it down to the fewest payments at the end. Tom pays Jeff $85, and so on. You settle up in cash, by app, or at the bar. We never touch your money.

Loop publishes a recap with the champion, the stats, the moments and who owes who. Then it files the whole thing into the record: career standings, Ryder records, head-to-heads and winnings.

Yes. Every Loop you run during the beta is free, with no card and no trial clock. When we launch, beta crews keep their record and hear from us well before anything changes.

Yes. Each Loop runs in one currency: dollars, euros or pounds. Every stake, skins pot and settle-up line is written in it. Pick it when you build the Loop, and change it any time before the first round.

The beta is tuned for 8 to 24 players and up to eight rounds. If your crew is bigger, a member-guest say, tell us in the form and we'll make sure it fits.

Build the Loop anyway. Rounds can sit as dates with the times marked TBD. Add the times and the pairings whenever the course confirms them, even the night before.
