FIVE IRON TOURNAMENTS
Five Iron TournamentsEvery player gets a SwingerPrint — a read on your game that puts you in a flight with players at your level and matches you for challenges. Then compete all season — four scoring periods plus the playoffs — and sharpen your SwingerPrint as you go.

The Season Schedule
FlightsEvery scoring period is a slate of two 9-hole challenges and two CTPs, and each one runs two full weeks, so there's time to get all four in. Four scoring periods set the standings, then a two-week playoff where every point counts double.
After two beta seasons, this is the first official season of 5i Flights — five flights, roughly 1,000 players, and a season-long race in every one. Your flight puts you up against players at your level, so every event is a fair fight. Find your name on the Players page to see where you've been placed.
Step 1 · Your SwingerPrint
Your SwingerPrint is built from your performance in Five Iron tournaments. It's made up of five categories that measure different parts of your tournament game, giving you a well-rounded view of how you play and where you can improve — and it sharpens every time you tee it up. New to 5i tournaments? Your print starts from your TrackMan data and switches over to tournament results as you play.
Find your Trackman handle to claim your auto-created profile — or create a new one from scratch.
How you've played at Five Iron sets your flight — Champion, A, B, C, or Beginner — with players at your level.
Play all 4 events each scoring period within your flight, and compete all season to rise through the ranks.
Step 2 · Your Flight
You're placed in one of five flights — Champion, A, B, C, or Beginner — and you only ever compete against players in your own flight, so every event is a fair fight. Season 1 tees off Monday, November 16.
Flights are set from how you've actually played at Five Iron, on TrackMan and in 5i tournaments. That's your game on the simulators, which isn't always the same as an outdoor handicap. If your flight looks off, your results correct it: play better than your flight and you move up during the season, and all flights are recalculated before the next one.
A Provisional tag means a player's flight is a starting placement that isn't locked in yet. It goes to players who could fit in more than one flight, often because there's less playing history to go on. Hover or tap any Provisional tag for a reminder.
Players with a confirmed flight can earn a move up during the season, and can only move down between seasons. That way nobody gains by playing poorly on purpose to reach an easier flight. Flights are reviewed every time standings update, the Monday after a scoring period closes.
| Move | When it happens |
|---|---|
| Up one flight | When either of these is true at a standings update:
|
| Up or down provisional players only | At any standings update through Scoring Period 3, if their results show they belong in a different flight. |
| Down one flight | Only between seasons, when all flights are recalculated. |
| No moves | After the Dec 28, 2026 standings update. Flights stay locked through Scoring Period 4 and the Jan 11 to 24 playoffs. |
A player who moves up keeps every score they've posted. Their points are then recalculated as if they had played in the new flight all season.
Step 3 · The Season
Every tournament, you score points for where you finish against your own flight — not the whole field. Win your flight's event and you take the most points.
Each scoring period runs two full weeks — more time to get all four events in. Four of them set the standings, then a two-week playoff where every point counts double and each flight crowns its champion.
Only your best 3 of the 4 regular scoring periods count toward your season total. Miss one or have one rough round — it won't sink your season.
Play well and you move up — mid-season if your results clearly show it, or when flights are recalculated between seasons. Move up and your scores come with you, re-ranked in your new flight.
Every flight plays for its own prizes — the top finishers in each flight cash in at season's end. Prize details are announced before tee-off.
Both 9-hole rounds add into one 18-hole total. Lowest combined total in your flight wins the board. Everyone who posts both rounds earns 40–200 points based on where they finish.
Your best shot from each CTP event adds into one combined distance. Closest combined distance wins. Worth 20–100 points — half the weight of the 9-hole board, so ball-striking alone can't carry a scoring period.
Your best 3 of the 4 regular scoring periods bank into your season total — your worst one drops off. Then the playoffs, where everything counts double. Miss a board, score zero on it. Only played one of the two? You score on the half scale — never zero.
38 + 41 = 7914 of your 19 opponents (a tie counts as the better finish for both players)14 ÷ 19 = 0.737 — you beat 73.7% of the board40 + 160 × 0.737 = 157.9 → rounds to 158 pts
