A small ritual for December.
Updated · by the 9Daily team, Berlin
December is busy at work: year-end deadlines, holiday parties, half the team already on leave. A 9Daily league gives your team one small shared moment a day: the same nine holes for everyone, a few minutes, and a champion every week.
Why does a daily game help a team in December?
A 9Daily round is small on purpose: a few minutes, once a day, the same course for everyone. A team gets a shared topic beyond deadlines, in the office, at home and on the train.
A daily game is no replacement for a team event, and nobody has to take part. 9Daily works as an invitation: whoever plays joins the conversation.

What does a shared daily game do for a team?
- A shared topic
- Everyone played the same 9Daily course, so the coffee break has something to talk about beyond work.
- Short and fair
- One round a day, a few minutes, and the same nine holes for the intern and the boss.
- Something to look forward to
- The new course arrives at midnight local time, and the week’s champion is crowned on Monday.
- Across locations
- Remote, hybrid or in the office: everyone plays their own calendar day, and the league compares the same course.
What does a 9Daily day look like for a team?
-
New course
The day’s 9Daily course arrives at midnight local time, wherever each colleague is.
-
One round
A few minutes with the first coffee, on the phone or the laptop.
-
Hole 7
Talk about the round once everyone has played: 9Daily shows the others’ scores only after your own.
-
Champion
Every Monday 9Daily crowns last week’s champion, with a card for the team channel.
How do you run a 9Daily December challenge for the team?
-
League from 30 November
One person creates a free 9Daily account, taps New league on the Leaderboard and names it, for example “Advent Cup”.
-
Link in the channel
Post the link in Slack, Teams or the team chat. Up to 50 people per league; bigger companies start one per team.
-
Monday results
Every Monday 9Daily crowns last week’s champion and makes a card to share in the channel.
-
Final at the party
The league history shows who won the most weeks. Announce the December champion at the holiday party.
Do colleagues need to know golf for 9Daily?
No. In 9Daily you tap where the ball should go and hold to swing; the game picks the club. Golf words like par and birdie are explained in golf terms explained.
What you need
- A phone, tablet or computer with a browser
- A few minutes a day
- The league link
What you don’t need
- Golf experience or a handicap
- A download

How do you share 9Daily results at work?
After the round, Challenge friends in 9Daily sends a short message with a link to the team channel. The preview shows the score, not the course, so nobody gets spoiled. Setting up a team league step by step: a daily game for your remote team.
