By browsing the website, from a computer 🖥️

I am creating my league for the first time on SportEasy

1. Go to the League tab in the main menu

2. Click on Create a league

3. Select New league

4. Click on Validate

1. Enter the general information:

• Name of the league

• Game format

• Stadium / Venue

  

You can also create new venues or stadiums, as explained here. 

6. Set your call-up/registration preferences for matches in this league

You can always change these preferences at any time from the league settings.

For call-up/registration settings, you can configure; 

• The default attendance status 

  • Awaiting response : works the same as the previous setting.

  • Present by default : when registrations open, all called-up members are marked present and can withdraw.

  • Absent by default : when registrations open, all called-up members are marked absent and must sign up.

• The creation ofa waiting list

  • Option to activate a waiting list with a participant limit.

• Registration settings 

  • By default, registration opening is scheduled : this is the new term for automatic call-up.

    If you wish to manage call-ups manually, simply untick the scheduled option. A window with your squad will appear on each league match page. 

  • You can now choose to send a notification or not when registrations open. If you untick this option, the member will not receive any information when registrations open or when the event is created, neither by email nor via mobile notification.

  • When you create an event, the option "Automatically remind players who do not respond" is enabled by default.

    Your players automatically receive a reminder between the first notification and the event, if they have not responded.

    The automatic reminder is sent halfway between the registration opening and the start of the event.

• Visibility (🏆 Premium and Club feature 🏆)

  • Option to hide the list of attendees from members.

  

You can also manage and edit the information of opponents you face, as explained here. 

7. Create the league match days:

• Copy and paste the data from the fixture list provided by your federation: For each matchday, enter the opponent, date and start time in the indicated format, the stadium and address. You can then specify for each match day whether it is a home or away match.

• Click on Add to confirm creation

Please note, creating your league may take a few minutes, do not leave the loading page.

Once your league is created, stadiums and opponents will be saved.

If you create all the matches for each matchday (not just your team's), you will be able to enter the full results for each matchday and keep your league table up to date!

You can always add, edit, or delete matchdays and matches later from the league settings.

Finally, simply finish creating the league to see it appear in the Leagues tab of the main menu.
