It's not about the score. It's about who you're playing with. Alto is a social scorecard for the round you actually play. Set up a group, pick a format, and let everyone follow along live — standings, skins, side bets, and the moments that made the round worth talking about. When you're done, the recap settles up cleanly so the only thing left is figuring out where you're eating after. GAME FORMATS • Score Tracker — straight gross/net scoring with a live leaderboard • Skins — one winner per hole, ties carry over • Chaos Skins — Skins with a twist on tie resolution • Nassau — front nine, back nine, and overall match • Match Play — head-to-head, hole by hole • Stableford — points-based scoring that rewards going for it • Wolf — rotating partner picks with lone-wolf bonuses SIDE BETS • Hole — call any hole worth more than the rest • Long Drive — longest drive on a chosen hole takes it • Closest to the Pin — par-3 pin hunting • Birdie — pay-per-birdie, all round long • Pressure Putt — make-or-miss on a single putt LIVE & SHAREABLE Everyone in the group sees scores, skins won, and side bets pending or settled — in real time, on every phone. The recap captures the leaderboard, standings, and exactly who owes whom for what. NO MONEY IN THE APP Alto never moves, holds, or processes money. Stake amounts are display-only, like the "$1/hole" column on a paper scorecard. Settle however you'd usually settle — off-app. SIGN IN Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. Account deletion is one tap from your profile. COMING SOON Custom Game builder and tournament play are on the way for the Players Club and High Rollers tiers. Free during the v1.0 launch — opt in from your profile if you'd like a heads-up when they ship. Privacy: alto.golf/privacy Support: alto.golf/support
