Scores you punch queue up and sync when signal returns; the card never blocks you mid-hole. Everything you tap on the card is held (scores, team scores, dots, your stats, a wolf pick, a hammer) and survives a reload; on the no-login group link the scores, team scores and dots are held, though putts there want signal. Other phones catch up once it sends. Starting a round, settling up, and signing up for an event need a connection, and the card needs one to open in the first place. (Live boards for spectators need a connection on their end, of course.)
