# Tournament golf with PinFlag > Canonical: https://pinflag.io/answers/tournament-golf Preview the course, capture the round in full, and read it shot by shot afterwards. **What does tournament mode do in PinFlag?** It keeps logging every shot and every distance in full while it holds the live strokes gained back from the display, so the round is captured completely and the full analysis is there the moment you finish. Regular rounds show everything live; tournament mode is the same record with the number held until the card is signed.

The tee shots and the par 5 second shots are decided with numbers before the practice round, and the practice round can be logged to check them.

The decisions are made in preview beforehand and the analysis read afterwards.

It can be shared as a scorecard and exported as CSV or JSON.

The student’s rounds are measured on the roster’s baseline and visible to the coach, with the student keeping their own history, so a coach reads the tournament round before the next lesson rather than hearing about it.

A 75 on a long course and a 75 on a short one read as different rounds in strokes gained, which is what makes rounds comparable across a season of tournaments.

Six strokes is three of those, and Score Killers names them; the rest is approach proximity, which PinFlag measures by band and club.

Every round exports as CSV or JSON on request, so the shot ledger can be kept, shared with a coach or read in a spreadsheet, and the data is yours to take.
