Creating a league
Set up a league with its own branding, divisions and points system for ongoing competition.
1. Overview

A league is a lasting home for ongoing competition. Members play tournaments that count toward division standings over time, with their own leaderboard, seasons and chat. You create a league once, then schedule tournaments inside it whenever you like.
League creation opens a form that slides in from the side, just like tournament creation. You define the league identity, its season dates, participation mode, leaderboard order, divisions and how standings points are awarded. Most of it can be changed later — only the participation mode and leaderboard order are fixed once the league is created.
2. League details
Open the create form.
From your dashboard's leagues view, tap the button to create a new league.
Add your branding (optional).
Upload a banner image and a logo. Both accept common image formats and are shown on the league page and its public join page.
Fill in name and description.
Both are required. The name is how players find your league in search.
Set the season dates.
Use the From and To pickers to define when the current season runs. The dates are shown on the league page and in your leagues list.
Choose the participation mode.
Individual ranks each player on the leaderboard; Team ranks fixed pairs. The mode also decides which tournament formats are available when scheduling league games — and it can't be changed after the league is created.
Choose the leaderboard order.
Points ranks members by the standings points they collect from wins, draws and losses; Scores ranks them by total match score. The chosen column is highlighted on the leaderboard, and this setting also can't be changed after creation.
Add website and Instagram (optional).
Shown on the league page so players can find out more about you.
3. Setting up divisions
Divisions split your members into skill levels — Division 1 is the highest. The create form starts with four divisions named Division 1 to Division 4, each shown as a card with its own settings.
- Rename any division to whatever fits your league.
- Remove divisions you don't need — Division 1 always stays.
- Add more divisions, up to a maximum of 10.
Each division card also has Promotion and Demotion toggles with From placement / To placement ranges. When you restart a season, the finishers in the promotion range move to the division above and those in the demotion range move to the division below — automatically. Promotion starts enabled for the top three placements; demotion starts disabled.
Divisions aren't locked in at creation — you can add, rename or delete them later from the leaderboard's Manage action, and adjust each division's promotion and demotion settings at any time.
4. Series points
Series points decide how many standings points a player or team earns from each finished league tournament. They power the P column of the leaderboard, while the S column totals match scores.
| Result | Default points | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Win | 2 | 1–20 |
| Draw | 1 | 0–10 |
| Loss | 0 | 0–10 |
You can tune these values at creation or later from the edit form — for example award 3 points per win for a football-style table.
5. League status and visibility
Every league shows a status badge: Active or Suspended. With an active Manager subscription your leagues are Active — publicly discoverable in search and listings. Without one they are Suspended: still fully usable by members via the direct link, but hidden from public discovery.
The status updates automatically with your subscription — if a Manager subscription lapses, hosted leagues become Suspended, and reactivating the subscription makes them Active again.
6. Editing your league
Tap the edit (pencil) icon on the league details card.
Only the host sees it. You can change the images, name, description, website, Instagram and series points, and rename divisions or adjust their promotion and demotion settings. Participation mode and leaderboard order are shown but can't be changed. Division rosters (players and teams) are managed from the leaderboard's Manage action.
