Failure to Post - Setup

To enable Failure to Post you will need to have Reminder to Post enabled first.

Reminder to Post - Setup tutorial

Failure to Post is a progressive penalty system that can be determined and applied at the discretion of the handicap administration.

A member must have received a Reminder to Post notice in order to qualify for a Failure to Post Violation

Cap Patrol will never apply any penalties automatically. The Failure to Post system is used to track and notify members when a score has not been posted in the designated time frame determined by your club.

The Failure to Post system tracks each member’s violation count over the course of a season and informs the member of the corresponding penalty set to be implemented by the club handicap administrator .

Failure to Post violations reset at the start of each season, meaning every member starts a golf season with 0 Failure to Post violations.

To Enable Failure to Post:

Enable - Toggle the slider to “Enabled” to activate Failure to Post and complete setup

Final Reminder to Post - Toggle the slider to enable final reminder to post. This is last reminder to post a score before that round will be considered a Failure to Post

Cap Patrol recommends enabling the Final Reminder to Post when using the Failure to Post Penalty system

Following all the Cap Patrol recommended settings, Failure to Post reminders and violations would proceed as following 2 days after date of play – Initial Reminder to Post notification sent 4 days after date of play – Final Reminder to Post notification sent 5 days after date of play – Failure to post notification sent and violation recorded

In the section labeled “Progressive Violation Penalties” a club will establish the penalties for the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Failure to Post violation

To establish your club’s penalty system:

Type your determined penalty for the corresponding violation number in the “Body” section of the text box.

NOTE: Text entry is required for all four penalties before saving and enabling the Failure to Post

Cap Patrol will track the number of Failure to Post Violations per season, and issue the violation notice according to the number of offenses. Violations will reset at the start of each season

After the Fourth violation the penalty no longer progresses. Subsequent violations will receive a repeat of the fourth violation. Cap Patrol recommends setting your violation penalties progressively, making the fourth violation the most severe punishment a member can receive.

Cap Patrol provides an email template for the Notice of Failure to Post email. It will pre-populate all the necessary fields, including the “Violation Count” “Current Penalty” and “Next Penalty”
