Designated flight scorers — one person keeps score for the whole group

You can now assign a designated scorer for each flight. On the Flights tab, select any player from the dropdown to make them the official scorekeeper. Send them a scoring link via SMS or email — they open it on their phone and enter scores for all players in the flight. No login required. Scores update the live leaderboard in real time. Assignments are per-event, so you can rotate scorers each week in a recurring league.

RSVP captain filtering, auto-save, and admin delegation

Three quality-of-life upgrades in this release. RSVP captain filter: When sending RSVP texts, use the new "Captains only" button to contact just one person per team instead of everyone. Auto-save: Tournament setup changes now save automatically after 2 seconds — no more lost data when switching devices. Admin delegation: Invite a co-admin by email to help manage your tournaments on the Admin tab.
