Bangolf Arena Public Internet
Introduction
Using Bangolf Arena in Public Internet mode is a method to have Live Scoring in a Tournament without requiring dedicated tablets or a WiFi network that covers the course. In this mode players could use mobile devices to register scores using a mobile network or any WiFi network (regardless of whether there is a computer running Bangolf Arena).
In this guide I will explain how players can register their scores and how they should prepare for a Tournament.
To begin this guide will explain preparation that must be done on Anroid and on iPhones. Players should do this preparation at home, before the Tournament. Then this guide will explain how to prepare for entering scores, this step should be done by the first player in each group, five minutes before the start of their round.
Finally there is a demo Tournament that players can use to practice this procedure. It is impossible to break the demo Tournament, so players can feel free to experiment as much as they like. The demo Tournament should always be running, so players can start now!
1: Phone Preparation
1.1: Android
Players with an Android phone must download and install the DuckDuckGo web browser. To do this, first navigate to the Play Store, search for DuckDuckGo and install it.
Players with an Android phone will use DuckDuckGo to register the scores for a group. Players should make sure they can launch it on their Android phones before the Tournament.
1.1: iPhone
The iPhone should come pre-installed with a web browser that can be used to register scores. This is the default web browser named Safari. Players should make sure they can launch it before the Tournament.
2: Preparing to Register Scores
Scores are registered using the Bangolf Arena Mobile Scoring app.
The first player in each group, five minutes before their start time, should open their phones. Android owners should open DuckDuckGo and iPhone owners should open Safari.
Then, in the web browser, players should navigate to the web address bams.mgolfapp.com
Then, under Settings, players should change the mode to Public Internet.
Finally, players should enter the Tournament code provided by the Tournament organiser and enter Login.
Once a player has logged in select Get suggested players. This will show a list of players due to start their Rounds soon. Players should make sure that the suggested players in this list are themselves and the other players in their group. If this is correct, select Get marked.
Finally, if all players are correct and in the correct order select Confirm order, round and lane.
3: Registering Scores
Before the start of the first lane, the player with the BAMS app should select Start register results.
Then, at each lane, once player player finishes a lane, the player with the BAMS app should select the correct score and select Register.
The BAMS app will then show the current scorecard. To register the next player select New res.
Finally, at the end of a round, select Menu.
To clear the BAMS app ready for the next round players should refresh the internet page (or exit and visit bams.mgolfapp.com again). Select Reset and restart, select yes, select Use master reset code and enter 226465327.
4: Demo
Players can try this now, from home. To do so, follow the instructions above and enter Tournament code 161641958. You can choose any group of Players and then view the results at https://adventuregolfscores.com/Demo3/result.htm
The demo Tournament cannot be broken, so players can experiment with the BAMS app.
If players do start a round and start registering scores they are asked to please finish registering scores for the entire round.
