Cynical Peak Software

Scorecard 2.1 is now available for download from Cynical Peak’s website for both Mac and Windows! Scorecard 2.1 changes the way nine-hole rounds are matched for stats to provide a more accurate picture of your abilities.

In Scorecard 2.0, 9-hole rounds were paired to form an 18-hole round for all stat calculations with the restriction that the rounds had to be played within 14 days of each other. A nine-hole round that did not have a round to pair with was then dropped from the stat calculation.

In Scorecard 2.1, the nine-hole pairing only occurs when viewing “All Holes.” If you set the stats to only view the front nine, back nine, par 3, par 4, par 5, or an individual hole number the rounds are no longer paired and no rounds will be dropped. The change provides you with a more accurate representation of your entire game play and it also fixes a few anomalies and bugs that the old system presented in some cases.

Changes in Scorecard Mac:

• Changed the method used to pair rounds for stats. The change will provide more accurate stats when mixing nine- and 18-hole rounds by allowing all rounds to be included when not viewing all holes.
• Fixed an issue that caused a stat error in some cases where nine- and 18-hole rounds are mixed.
• Fixed displaying the high and low eclectics.
• Fixed the default update URL.

Changes in Scorecard Windows:

• Changed the method used to pair rounds for stats. The change will provide more accurate stats when mixing nine- and 18-hole rounds by allowing all rounds to be included when not viewing all holes.
• Fixed an issue that caused a stat error in some cases where nine- and 18-hole rounds are mixed.
• Fixed an issue which in some cases could cause an error when saving an edited course.
• Inactive rounds are no longer included in stats and graphs
• Fixed an issue with wrong HTML formatting with negative round differentials
• Improved the error handling when trying to export to a location without proper write permissions
• Removed the requirement for having the Microsoft Chart Controls installed. The controls are now included within the app instead
• Users are no longer required to install Bonjour for Windows to enable syncing with iPhone. Uses Bonjour from iTunes instead.
