Create and manage a league/championship

You are administrator (or coach) of a team participating in a league/ a championship this season?

You can easily keep up with the team's performance within the league on SportEasy, no matter if your  team is enrolled in a recreational league, a university championship, a federal league, etc.

With our league management feature you can:

• create the league season in your team (on the website or on the mobile app)
• overview the calendar of the league
• update the results for all the games (not only yours)
• manage bonus/penalty points for each participating team
• follow the standings, players stats and team stats
• send invitations to your players for upcoming games
• manage your ratings/votes preferences
• delete the league

This league management feature is available for all the sports listed on SportEasy, except for teams registered under the option 'other' sport.

This feature is not a full league management system that a league organizer can use to manage the league calendar, the results, or to communicate with participating teams. But it is a great solution for each team to centralize and communicate the information related to their league, internally.

If you are a league organizer, or managing an 'other sport' team, interested in using SportEasy please contact us!

Creating my league for the first time on SportEasy

• Go to the 'League' tab of the main menu
• Click on 'Create league season'
• Click on 'New league' and confirm

• Enter the basic information of your league:
  • Name
  • Format
  • Venue (Create a venue if needed) to apply to all home events or to all events

You can create and manage venues anytime you want (learn how). 

• Add participating teams:
  • Add a team already created in your list of opponents
  • OR Create a new team to add to this list 

The first team listed in the league is yours. You can add participating teams whenever you want, even during the season, from the league settings.

You can also manage your general list of opponents, not just for this league. 

• Set up your invitation settings: 

You will be able to edit the invitation settings later on if you wish, on the league settings page. 

You can choose between:

• "Inviting all players automatically X days before the match": all players will automatically receive an invitation X days before the date of the event, and may indicate their availability; The casual players will not receive this automatic invitation (you can call them manually if you need players)
• "Choose the players I want to invite": from the events page, manually invite the players of your choice whenever you want.

> Check the box "Automatically remind players who do not reply" so that your players automatically receive a second invitation message if there is no response.

> Check the box "First X registered players participate, the following are on the waitlist" and fill in the desired number of participants: a waitlist will automatically be created once this number has been reached; In case of withdrawal, the 1st on the waitlist will be invited, and so on.

For league fixtures: 

• Copy/paste the calendar given to you by the federation or league. For each day, enter the opponent, start date and time in the specified format, stadium and address. You can then specify whether the match is home or away. 
• Enter the league information yourself: 

It may take a couple of minutes to create your league fixtures so please don't leave the loading page.   

Once your league has been created, the stadiums and opponents will be saved.

If you create all the matches for each day (not just those of your team), you'll be able to enter the complete results for each day and keep your standings up to date!

It will still be possible to add, modify or delete days and matches from the championship settings.

Finally, simply complete the creation of the championship to see it appear in the "Championships" tab of the main menu.

To add new fixtures: 

Either click on "Add games" from the league calendar if you have already created games.  

Or click on "Add games" from this page if you have not created any games yet.
