http://challonge.com/ Provides all kinds of tournament and brackets for many different sports . I learned about their golf ladder brackets a couple years ago with the " FLASHMOB " Hosted by  sugahsweet  of 
THE LIONS HEART COUNTRY CLUB  fame 

  Below I will describe the process in challonge for making an alt shot tournament . 
  Challonge and WGT have a supported or  synched relationship . If you register in challonge with the same username  as you used in WGT you will be able to recieve notifications and invites just by way of your username . 
  However . When it comes to setting up a tournament and registering players . Challonge will only allow 1 registered username per line . So when creating an altshot tournament . AKA's or aliases must be used as you see below in the 3rd screenshot . On the right side of the add participants box is used for registered usernames or emails . The left side is used for entering the team names . Below it would not have accepted PDB! / beepbeepfatazz . But will accept Paul / Marg . You need at least two entries to start the bracket . Next you see the 2 entries and a sample of my registered username entry .4th screenshot

 First click " CREATE A TOURNAMENT " ( after you register )

  Then fill in the registration which will also create the URL to embed the bracket in your website . To be played and edited live as you and everyone else are live and watching . All registered players also can record their own scores . You may also assign full admin to certain players in the registration for each tournament . 




 You need 2 entries to cre4ate the bracket 

 Here is the full roster with all 8 teams 

  Once all 8 teams have been checked in ( simple click ) You start the tourney .
  As you create the bracket . You will choose the course for each round . Just click on each round , semi finals and finals and type in the course . 



  There is a little edit pencil next to the players or teams name in each bracket .

  At the end of each round one player from that match ( or the host if you prefer ) . Clicks on the edit pencil and records the winner first . Then the score . There is a setting that eliminates the need to enter the score . Only the winner is needed . 


  End of 1st round . Automatically sets up the 2nd round once all 1st round scores have been entered . 

  In this mock tourney I added a Bronze Match to determine the 3rd place winner . In this tournament the 2 losing teams in the semi finals will play in the Bronze Match . The same course and the same time as the finals . 

  Finals and Bronze Match are ready to play .

  The final results are automatically displayed immediately following reporting the final scores . 

  This description was for the alt shot format . One of the most difficult formats . Match play is much easier . And stroke play is a different animal altogether because you are reporting winning score that is lower than the losers score . The automated bracket program will ask you if you are aware that you are reporting a winning score that is below the other score and do you wish to proceed . You click yes . 
  There are other descriptions and variables and scenarios on Page 2 .of this website .
  This is much simpler than it looks at first . And would be very easy to follow on Skype with a live embedded bracket . These are mostly played in a common chatroom . Which is what we have just below the live bracket as you can see at Page 3 .of this  website .
  Fell free to message me with any questions . Enjoy .
