From the first budget to the thank-you note: registration, sponsors, check-in, scoring, prizes, staffing and board reports work together, so nothing lives in a spreadsheet.

A built-in local network

Every live event is listed free on the Colorado Under Par Event Hub, where local golfers, players and sponsors already come to find their next event, so your field gets a head start.

Promotion that fills your field

Your flyers, sponsor packet, posters and promo emails build themselves from your event, in your brand. Add Amplify Full Promotion for CUP social promotion.

Everything a golf tournament needs

Free to build, 1% to sell

Build your whole event free. When you sell, it is 1% per paid order plus Stripe card processing, with every tool on this page included. Free events cost nothing.

Any size, any sport

From a 12-person clinic to a 144-golfer shotgun or a 1,000-runner 5K, you get the same tools and the same 1%. No player caps or tiers, and every tool is included. Every sport gets its own tools: bibs and timing for races, brackets and court schedules for pickleball, volleyball and hockey, judges' phone scoring for skating and gymnastics, and score totals for bowling, archery and fishing.

Help at every step

You are never on your own. A Start here guide walks you through setup with short videos for your sport, the How do I...? search on every screen takes you straight to the right setting, and Caddie, our AI assistant, answers questions about your own event while you build.

A head start on your field

Going live lists your event on the Colorado Under Par Event Hub, where Colorado golfers, players and sponsors already come to find their next event. You start with a local network instead of from zero.

Your marketing kit, ready at launch

Built from your event details, logos, colors and fonts: save the date, event flyer, business sponsor flyer, sponsor packet and posters, plus timed promo emails with matching social posts. Promotion starts the day registration opens.

Sponsor logos at checkout

Sponsors upload their logo, website and socials when they pay, so you never chase files by email. They flow straight to your sponsor wall and thank-you poster, with automatic reminders and spotlight posts.

Budget planner

Model what you could raise and spend before you sell a ticket, then track the plan against real sales as they come in.

Money dashboard

Card, cash and checks in one view, with expenses, sponsor invoices, 50/50 and a board report when you finalize.

Staffing and run of show

A staff and volunteer roster with hours and jobs, a day-of task list that moves with your start time, a printed card for each person, and a full run of show.

Check-in, scoring and a live leaderboard

Phone check-in with QR tickets, scramble scoring on golfers' phones and a live leaderboard for the TV, all part of the same 1%.

Built for golf, and your sport

Foursomes and twosomes, team links where each golfer claims a spot, pairing for singles, shotgun or tee times, plus the same depth for 60+ other sports.

Print-ready day-of kit

Alpha sheet, rosters, hole plan, cart signs, scorecards with QR, bag tags and badges.

Waivers and releases

Every golfer accepts your waiver, photo release and terms at checkout, saved with their registration.

Prizes and auctions

In-kind donations, gift baskets, silent auction bid sheets and donor thank-you letters.

Free perks for golfers

Partner perks on every receipt, like a free PXG club fitting.

Messages and reminders

Email everyone registered, team captains, just your sponsors or your past players from the dashboard, with ready-made reminders for names due, the day-before details and thank-yous.

Running another sport?

Pick your sport and format, and the dashboard changes to fit. Every sport gets the tools its results need.

The process

How It Works

Four steps from sign-up to thank-you notes.

1. Create your event

Sign up with your email (no password) and build your event in about 10 minutes. Suggested ticket prices, sponsor levels and a schedule are filled in for you, and you can change all of it. Your event stays private to you while you build.

2. Connect Stripe

Connect your own Stripe account so every payment goes straight to you. It takes a few minutes. Running a free event? Skip this step.

3. Go live and share

Tap Go live when the details are ready. Your event page goes on the Colorado Under Par events calendar, your marketing kit is ready to print and post, and you get a link and embed code for your own website and emails. You can keep editing after you go live.

4. Run the day

Print the day-of kit, check golfers in with QR tickets, score on phones with a live leaderboard, then finalize the money and send thank-yous and a board report.

Questions organizers ask

Quick answers about fees, payouts, sponsors and getting started.

What does it cost?

1% per paid order plus Stripe card processing (2.9% + 30 cents for US cards). You can pass fees to buyers or cover them. Free events cost nothing.

When do I get paid?

Stripe pays out to your bank on its normal schedule, usually within a few business days. You see every payment in your own Stripe account.

Can sponsors pay by check or bank transfer?

Yes. Send an invoice they can pay by card or bank transfer, or mark a check as paid. Paid invoices become registrations automatically.

Is my event listed on the calendar too?

Yes. Your event shows on the Colorado Under Par events calendar (500+ events supported). Amplify Full Promotion adds social promotion.

Can I build my event before I have a venue?

Yes. Start building now and add the venue when it is booked. Nothing is public until you tap Go live.

Can my team help?

Yes. Invite co-organizers, helpers and check-in volunteers. Each person gets their own sign-in and sees only the tools for their role.

Do I need a contract or setup fee?

No. There are no setup fees and no monthly plan.

What sports can I run?

Golf and 62 other sports, from 5Ks and pickleball brackets to judged skating and bowling. Pick your sport and format, and the dashboard changes to fit. See every sport and format at coloradounderpar.com/sell-tickets/sports/.

Can I run a free or members-only event?

Yes. Free events cost nothing and need no Stripe account. Set the event to Private and share its invite code so only your members or group can sign up. Venues can run member leagues and clinics this way at no cost. If you charge for anything, the 1% applies to those paid orders only.
