Frequently Asked Questions

How is Cleek different from traditional golf software?
Traditional golf platforms focus on administration — tournament setup, registration forms, score entry. Cleek is player-first: social challenges, fantasy golf, live predictions, share cards, and a reputation system (Cred) keep golfers engaged between events. You get all the admin tools plus a social layer that drives participation and retention.
Does Cleek replace my existing software?
It can, but it doesn't have to. Cleek integrates with Golf Genius via live score sync, so you can keep your existing workflow while adding social engagement features. Or switch entirely — Cleek handles everything from event setup to leaderboards to sponsor management.
Is there a learning curve?
Minimal. The AI Event Architect lets you describe your event in plain English and it configures everything — format, handicaps, divisions, tee assignments. Scoring is tap-based on any phone. Most admins are running their first event within 15 minutes of signing up.
What about large tournaments with 100+ players?
Cleek handles tournaments of any size. The Club plan supports tournaments with divisions, flights, and multi-round scoring. Club Unlimited adds tour management with cumulative standings across a full season. Online registration with Stripe handles payments automatically.
Can spectators follow along?
Yes. Public leaderboards update in real time with no login required. Spectators can send live reactions to players and make predictions on outcomes. Every event gets its own shareable link and dynamic social media card.
How does access code scoring work?
Each player receives a unique 6-character access code printed on their cart sign. They type it into their phone to open their scorecard — no account creation, no app download, no login required. This is unique to Cleek and eliminates the biggest friction point in tournament scoring.
Does Cleek handle prize pools and financial tracking?
Yes. Configure prize payouts per division (gross and net), run automated skins games with carry-over, track hole-in-one pot balances across the season, and view a full tournament P&L showing entry fees, skins revenue, prize expenses, and net income. No other platform offers this level of built-in financial management.
