You run the sweeps. It shouldn't run your Saturday.

Payout math nobody has to double-check

Keeping the money straight is the worst job in a weekend league. Somebody collects fives at the first tee, carries the pot in their head through eighteen holes, and still gets asked at the bar whether the tie for second was split right. Sweeps retires that job. Set the payout structure once, and from then on your League argues about golf, not arithmetic.

Computed at finalize.

The last card comes in, you finalize the Game, and the payouts are done: the Sweeps Game pot (the day's opt-in money game) and any Skins Side games (side pots scored on top of the Game). Close out a Series and the end-of-Series totals compute the same way.

Ties resolve themselves.

Back-9, back-6, back-3, then last hole. Countback separates most ties the way leagues already do it by hand. When it can't, the affected places' money combines and splits evenly, shown as T2. Nobody does long division in the parking lot.

A default structure with rules, not vibes.

The default payout ladder is gap-protected: the winner's share never shrinks as more players join, first place always clears second by at least $5, and the last paid place targets $10, double a $5 buy-in. At 20 players on a $5 buy-in, the winner takes exactly $35.

Places open as the field grows.

2 paid places at 5 players, 3 at 9, 4 at 14, 5 at 19, 6 at 25. Or set your own percentages or dollar amounts and the ladder follows your rules instead.

The record keeps itself.

The finalized leaderboard is on every player's phone the moment you finalize, and the ledger exports to CSV when someone wants the receipts.

One boundary worth stating plainly: Sweeps never holds a dollar. It does the arithmetic and the paper trail, and the cash moves the way your League already moves it.
