A flight is a set of groups of similar skill that gets its own winner. If everyone competes for one prize, use 1 flight.
The short version
- You choose the Number of flights on the Format step. The default is 1.
- Redswing names them Flight A, Flight B and so on.
- With handicaps on, Flight A holds the lowest handicaps. With handicaps off, flights are just blocks of groups in the order Redswing built them. They are not sorted by skill.
- Once two or more flights have groups, the leaderboard ranks each flight on its own.
Do you need them?
- One trophy for the winning team: no flights.
- Prizes for a low and a high group: two flights, with handicaps on.

What Redswing does NOT do

- Event settings has no flights setting. To change the number after publishing, open Ask AI, before you make pairings.
