Move Your League From Another App

Switching golf apps mid-season has always meant either losing your history or spending an evening typing it back in by hand. Not anymore. Squabbit can now recreate a full past tournament inside your league from a spreadsheet of historical scores — players, scorecards, leaderboards, and round histories all populated automatically.

If you’ve been on the fence about moving to Squabbit because of the data you’d leave behind, this is the feature you’ve been waiting for.

Bring your spreadsheet

Most golf apps and league management tools can export to CSV. Pop the file into Squabbit and the app does the rest. The format is intentionally flexible: include hole-by-hole scores if you have them, or just the total score, or just the handicap differential. Add optional columns for tee times, teams, and historical handicap indices to recreate the round exactly as it was played.

How it works

1
Open your league’s settings, expand Other, tap Import tournaments, and choose From CSV.
2
Add the tournament formats that were played — Strokeplay, Best Ball, Skins, whatever your event used. You can add as many as you need.
3
Pick your CSV file. Squabbit walks you through confirming the courses, tees, and players, adding any new players to your league as it goes.
4
Tap Import. The new tournament is created inside your league with all rounds and scorecards populated, and opens automatically so you can verify the results.

Errors are caught up front — if a row is missing data, references a round that doesn’t make sense, or names a player you haven’t resolved yet, you’ll see a clear list of issues to fix before any data is written. There’s no half-imported state to clean up.

What gets created

The imported tournament is indistinguishable from one played natively in Squabbit. The full leaderboard, all stats, payouts (if you set up a purse), per-player round histories — everything works. If your league uses league handicaps calculated from event rounds, the imported rounds are factored in automatically.

You can rename the tournament, edit any score, change settings, or run the same import flow again for additional past events. Bring as many tournaments forward as you want.
