Chicago, IL, November 17, 2010 -- your•bot™ and developer James Prete announces the addition of the Match Play scoring system with the eminent release 1.1.1 of tour•bot™ golf tournament scoring app for the Apple® iPhone3G®, iPhone3GS®, iPhone4®. iPod Touch® 2-4 and all iPad® devices (iOS® 3.0 or higher).
Match play is a scoring system for golf in which a player, or team, earns a point for each hole in which they have bested their opponents; this is as opposed to stroke play, in which the total number of strokes is counted over one or more rounds of 18 holes.
Match Play Scoring system
Unlike stroke play, in which the unit of scoring is the total number of strokes taken over one or more rounds of golf, match play scoring consists of individual holes won, halved or lost. On each hole, the most that can be gained is one point. Golfers play as normal, counting the strokes taken on a given hole. The golfer with the lowest score on a given hole receives one point while his opponent receives a -1 score for that hole. If the golfers tie, then the hole is halved, meaning that the both players score a 0 on that hole.
tour•bot can handle any number of players and will score each player against every other player using the following rules of handicap application.
Match Play Scoring using handicaps
Scoring match play using handicaps is not done exactly the same way it is done in a stroke play event. In 18-hole stroke play where player 'A' is a -10 handicap and player 'B' is a -19 handicap, player 'A' gets one stroke off his score on the ten hardest holes (by handicap rating on scorecard); player 'B' gets two strokes off his score on the hardest hole and one stroke off on the other 17.
In match play, player 'A' would play as 'scratch' (zero handicap) and player 'B' would get one stroke off his score on the nine hardest holes. In other words, the 10 handicap becomes zero and the 19 handicap becomes a 9.
your•bot™ is the first full-featured golf tournament scoring app designed to be completely self-sufficient on your favorite iOS® Apple® device. No Internet service required! tour•bot™ does not require web-site registration or the cellular data network to provide an unequaled array of scoring and reporting capabilities.
tour•bot™ offers numerous options in scoring events and includes the three most asked for golf games for scoring.
When performing detailed scoring, golfers can score and report on:
• Skins games (either a Tournament style with roll-over or a hole-by-hole scoring);
• 2-Player best-ball game with either event-level team or tournament-level team pairings.
• 4-Player 2-best-balls game, also with either event-level team or tournament-level team pairings.
• Stableford results at tour, event and player detailed reporting levels.
• Match Play scoring results at the event level.
All of the above games may be scored and reported at the same time on the same tournament. No other golf tournament scoring software for iPhone can do this.
When doing round-summary scoring, golfers can score adjusted gross stokes and up to three separate games (such as Binga, Banga, Bonga, or any three scores they wish to keep) for all players on the tournament.
tour•bot™ is the first app to create, schedule, facilitate pairings, record scores and produce tournament reports and player statistics for ad hoc or recreational golf tournaments. In addition, with the highly detailed scoring option enabled, golfers can keep track of their personal golf scores to analyze and improve their performance while also computing a recreational handicap index after scoring five rounds. All on their Apple® iOS® device. No other App on the iTunes® store offers so much power in a single App, with No monthly fees!

-- Advanced data entry techniques for fast, accurate scoring, requiring the bare minimum time to complete;
