Match Reports (entering scores)

Purpose

A match report is the act of recording a played fixture's result in nooQ League. It runs in the league app (nooq-golf-league-app/match-report-app) — you reach it from a fixture row in Match Admin. Two entry modes exist: simple (just team totals) and detailed (individual player scores by hole).

When to use this

After a fixture has been played — usually within 24 hours so live tables reflect it.
To correct a result that was wrong on first entry.
To upload a scorecard PDF and let the system parse it.

Entry modes

| Mode | When to use | What you enter | |---|---|---| | Simple result | Team-vs-team matches where the headline result is what matters (e.g. inter-club league). | Home score, away score, brief notes, optional image. | | Detailed result | Foursomes / singles formats where individual matchups are public, or where you want hole-by-hole stats. | Per-pairing or per-player names, scores per hole, format (foursomes / greensomes / singles). | | Webhook ingest | Automatic — scorecards from a tournament service (e.g. Intelligent Golf) arrive via n8n into the league app's webhook. | Nothing — you don't action this. |

Common tasks

Submit a simple result

Match Admin → open the fixture (today's date or "Recent").
Submit Result → choose Simple.
Enter Home score, Away score.
Optional: notes ("Played in heavy rain, 9 holes only"), featured image (team photo).
Save. The result is published within a second to the league table and any embedded views.

Submit a detailed result

Open the fixture → Submit Result → Detailed.
Pick the format: Foursomes, Greensomes, Singles, Mixed.
For each pairing/player, enter:
- Names (Home pair, Away pair)
- Per-hole scores (the form switches to a 9- or 18-hole grid)
- Win/loss/halved per hole or per match
The system computes the overall match score from the pairings.
Save.

Correct a wrong result

Open the fixture → Edit Result.
Change whatever was wrong. Save.
Standings and (if knockout) advancement update automatically.

Bulk-correct via webhook re-ingest

If a scorecard came in via n8n with corrupted data, the cleanest fix is to delete the match-result record and re-trigger the webhook with the corrected source data. Ask nooQ Support to assist — manual SQL touches the wrong tables.

The Match Report layout on the public site

A match report shown to visitors typically has:

Header — competition + season + date + venue.
Teams — Home and Away names with logos.
Top-line score — e.g. "Cathkin Braes 4½ — 2½ Sandyhills".
Pairings table (detailed mode only) — each row a pairing with names, hole-by-hole scores, and result.
Notes + photo (if entered).
Updated timestamp.

The exact rendering is controlled by the league app's templates, not by Payload — but you can pick which display mode (league table / fixtures / match report) when embedding via a Payload block.

Gotchas

Don't enter the same match twice. Each fixture has one result. If you start a fresh form for a fixture that already has a result, you'll overwrite it.
Detailed mode is slower. For a 5-pairing foursomes match with hole-by-hole entry, allow 5–10 minutes. Have the scorecards in front of you before you start.
Featured image dimensions — aim for 1200×675 or similar 16:9. The block will crop oddly otherwise.
Webhook results are read-only on first arrival. If you want to override, switch the fixture to "manual" mode (top of the form) before editing.
The Payload MatchResults collection is a different thing. That collection holds imported county/union results (e.g. from Intelligent Golf) for display on Pages, with no live editing. Match reports here in the league app are live scoring with progression logic.
