Play now vs. schedule for later

From the Home screen you have two ways to set up a group round:

Play with friends: you’re at the course, so start the round right away.
Schedule (the pill under the play cards): set the round up for a future date and time. Everything you’d normally pick at the first tee — course, players, games, stakes — gets locked in ahead of time, and the round waits for you in Upcoming.

Scheduling is how you turn “we should play Saturday” into an actual, locked-in game your whole group has on their calendar.

Scheduling a round

Tap Schedule on the Home screen and walk through the same setup as a live round:

Date & tee time: pick when you’re playing. It starts at the next 8:00 AM. Change the date and time, then tap Continue.
Course & tees: pick the course and tee.
Players: add friends who already have FOREPAID, or add a guest for anyone who doesn’t. You can give each player their own tee here.
Games & stakes: pick your games (Nassau, Skins, Wolf and the rest), set the stakes, and choose your Golfcaster and trash-talk level. See Games & Bets.

Tap the button at the bottom. It shows your tee time, like Schedule for Sat 8:00 AM (or Schedule Friendly Round with no games on). The round is saved for that date and you land on its detail screen.

Players with the app get a push when you add them. Everyone with the app also gets reminders: one at 6 PM the evening before, and one two hours before tee time.

FOREPAID Schedule a Round — pick the date and tee time before setting up course and players

Pick the date and tee time — everyone you invite sees it on their home screen until you tap Start.

Where it shows up — Upcoming

Scheduled rounds live in the Upcoming area at the top of your Home screen. Your next round shows as a compact pill; if you’ve got more than one lined up, tap to see the full list.

Tap any upcoming round to open its detail screen: course, tee time and players. The host also gets Start Round Now, Send calendar invite and Cancel Round. Invited players see a note that the host will start the round, plus Leave Round.

You can line up several. Schedule next Saturday and the following one. They’ll both sit in Upcoming, and scheduled rounds don’t count toward the one-round-at-a-time limit. You do need to finish or cancel any round you’re setting up or playing before you can schedule a new one.

Calendar invites

From a scheduled round you can send a calendar invite so the tee time lands in everyone’s calendar app — just like a Calendly or Square appointment.

The invite includes the course, date and time, who’s playing, and the wagers on the line, plus the trash-talk level, so everyone knows what they signed up for.
Tapping it adds the round to your iPhone Calendar with a reminder.
Players who have the app get the round added to their iPhone calendar the next time they open FOREPAID, after they allow calendar access once. It’s added once and doesn’t update if plans change. The invite link is for buddies who don’t have the app yet.

Starting it on the day

When the day comes, open the round from Upcoming, tap Start Round Now, then Start to confirm. The round goes live, scoring opens, and your Golfcaster kicks off the first tee. Everything you set during scheduling is already in place. No re-entering players or stakes.

Heads up on handicaps. Handicaps are set when you add players and lock when the round starts. Double-check them on the Pick your players screen while you schedule. The scheduled round’s detail screen can’t change them, so if someone’s number changes before game day, cancel and reschedule. See Handicaps.

Changing or canceling

As the host, tap Cancel Round on the detail screen. It comes off everyone’s Upcoming list and their tee-time reminders stop. FOREPAID doesn’t send a cancel notice, so give the group a heads-up. If the round was added to anyone’s iPhone calendar, they’ll need to delete that entry themselves. If plans change, cancel and reschedule. It takes a few taps.
