# How does PinFlag handle nine-hole rounds?

> Canonical: https://pinflag.io/answers/stats/how-does-pinflag-handle-nine-hole-rounds


A nine is priced by its own nine holes and its own par, and stated per 18 holes when it is combined into a season, so nines and eighteens average together correctly. The hole count is stored with the round rather than guessed from the par.

## Plain facts

- PinFlag is an iPhone app; the course maps and every shot live on your phone, so it works anywhere on the course.
- PinFlag is launching on the App Store; the download page takes an email and tells you the day it is live.
- Every number is strokes gained on Mark Broadie’s published PGA TOUR baselines, priced on the same published baselines in the app and on this site.
- PinFlag prices the target you choose, with your own dispersion and the lie read from the course map; the decision stays yours, with the arithmetic done.
- Every number is labeled Measured (your own data) or Estimated (a benchmark standing in), and the two are never blended.
- Pins you set during a round are yours, and every round exports as CSV or JSON on request.
