Abstract: A head for mounting a device for tracking objects on a golf course during a golf tournament may include a control system that controls delivery of a supply of power to one or more of a tilt motor operable to drive tilt movement of a top plate of the head about a tilt axis or a pan motor operable to drive pan movement of the top plate. The control system may include one or both of a tilt stop mechanism or a pan stop mechanism configured to limit the respective tilt movement or pan movement. A quick mounting surface for mounting a sensor device to the head may be provided on the top plate.

Abstract: A method of tracking golf play includes receiving a plurality of coordinate sets corresponding to a plurality of shot to locations of golf balls hit by a plurality of players on a hole in a golf event. The plurality of coordinate sets were automatically captured in sensor data of a plurality of sensor device coordinate sources positioned around the hole. Hole events corresponding to strokes of the plurality of players on the hole in the golf event are received that were automatically detected in sensor data of a sensor device hole event sources. Each hole event may be automatically associated with one of the plurality of coordinate sets that correspond to the shot to location of the golf ball for the stroke the hole event corresponds to generate detailed scoring data for the plurality of players on the hole in the golf event.

Abstract: A system and method for providing online games on client devices based on capabilities of the client devices are disclosed. Device capability information may be obtained from the client devices during the online game.
