FAQ

Common Questions

Everything you need to know about Stationary Mode.

How many tablets do I need?
One tablet per hole is the minimum. For optimal experience, add: 1 dedicated registration kiosk (optional), 1 selfie station tablet (optional), 1 results kiosk (optional), and TVs for leaderboards (optional).
What if WiFi goes down?
Tablets work in offline mode! Scores sync automatically when connection returns. We recommend cellular-enabled tablets as backup.
Can players still use their phones?
Absolutely! Stationary Mode is an enhancement, not a replacement. Players can still scan QR codes with their phones AND use the tablets.
What happens when it rains?
Use waterproof tablet enclosures (we provide recommendations). Tablets work perfectly in rain - unlike paper scorecards!
Do I need tech-savvy staff?
Nope! The system is 100% automated. Staff only intervene if there's an issue (rare). The Ranger Portal makes troubleshooting a breeze.
What subscription is required?
Stationary Mode requires Premium or Enterprise subscription. You can start with a free plan to test, then upgrade when ready.
