Building a Scoring Platform from Scratch

What is ScoreSight?

ScoreSight is the central data integration and competition management platform for TGL built by CapTech. It encompasses every aspect of the match format, including pre-match setup, in-match scoring, and post-match activities like stats and standings, as well as future enhancements.

It is a real-time data platform that serves fans inside SoFi Center, those watching on TV, and those using second-screen experiences.

Before The Match

Within ScoreSight, the Match Admin Console (MAC) consolidates various administrative tasks in one application. This streamlining improves efficiency and data consistency across the league.

Setting up a TGL match involves several steps:

• Team management: Team rosters are set up before the season starts.
• Building the schedule: The league schedule, including dates and times of matches, is planned before the season, with holes and player lineups finalized a few days before each match.
• Player lineups: Announced a few days before a match, typically on Fridays, lineups are added into the MAC, selecting three players from each team to compete.
• Course layout: The MAC is also used for hole setup, course building, and “field of play” technology configurations that are to be implemented in the ScreenZone and GreenZone inside SoFi Center.

During The Match

When a match begins, ScoreSight feeds the Simulator Admin Console (SAC), which manages setup of simulated holes, GreenZone rotation, the putting surface, and ball physics attributes. As shots are hit, the ball flight and positioning data are integrated in real time from the Full Swing launch monitors, Toptracer optical cameras, and all other competition data sources in SoFi Center.

This ensures consistency and accuracy across all outputs, including:

• TV broadcast and recordings
• AR camera feeds
• Social media tools
• In-arena scoreboards
• Private monitoring applications
• Gaming partners and betting platforms
• Public web sites and mobile applications

One unique advantage of ScoreSight is the system's automation. Only one operator is needed to run a match with the MAC. ScoreSight is a one-stop shop for match operations leading up to and during the match.

After The Match

The platform offers more unique benefits after a match. Since ScoreSight processes data in real time, standings and stats are updated immediately after every stroke, hole, and match concludes, which minimizes extensive post-match activities and improves the speed and accuracy of match finalization.

In addition, any changes or corrections made during the match trigger automatic recalculation or correction of stats, ensuring a precise official record. The system can then generate media reports from the processed data, streamlining the distribution of match results and statistics to media outlets typically within minutes of match conclusion.
