Season settings

Set the format, ranking rules, and round behavior for the season before it begins or while it evolves.

Matchmaking and standings

Competition system

Choose Balanced round robin, Tiered ladder, or Elo rating system. Each option explains its matchmaking and standings behavior before you confirm it.

Competition scoring

Match results

Each scheduled matchup contributes one result. For multi-set matches, the team winning more completed sets wins the match; an equal number of set wins is a tie.

Scheduling format

Choose the scheduling format that matches how your league uses booked court time.

See Choose a scheduling format for the pairing and court-capacity calculations.

  • Use N-team rotation to choose the teams per court, complete pairing passes, and approximate minutes per matchup.
  • Use Full matches to choose a best-of-one, best-of-three, or best-of-X format and estimated match duration.

Preset-specific settings

  • For Balanced round robin, configure the standing points awarded for wins, ties, and losses.
  • For Tiered ladder, configure tiers, base tier points, performance adjustments, and tier movement.
  • For Elo rating system, configure rating sensitivity and provisional matchups.
  • For Tiered or Elo N-team rotations, choose skill-ordered or randomized physical courts.
  • For Tiered or Elo, choose whether to allow, prefer to avoid, or require avoiding consecutive rematches.

People and permissions

As a manager, choose score-entry permissions with independent checkboxes for captains and registered players on a court where their team is scheduled. Managers and owners always retain score access.

Choose whether booking responsibilities are shown to everyone in the season or only to the registered people and teams assigned to them. Managers and owners always see every assignment.

Choose whether Player numbers are required, optional, or hidden when captains and managers view and edit rosters. Hidden numbers remain stored in case the setting changes later. Existing seasons default to optional.

Choose whether Waiver completion is managed by captains and managers, also editable by each registered member for themselves, or hidden. The checkbox appears in the roster-member editor above the player number, and signed players receive a green check in the season roster. Existing seasons default to hidden.

Use People to assign active organization members to season roles and teams. Use Organization settings for organization-wide suspension and administrator roles.

Public information

The public season address uses the short format leagueportal.gg/s/your-link. New seasons begin with the organization and season names combined; managers may choose another globally unique value. Changing it releases the previous address, so update any shared links or printed QR codes afterward.

Season settings shows a QR preview that follows the link while you type and identifies unsaved values. After saving, QR codes appear on printable court scoresheets and tournament brackets with the readable short address beneath them. A scoresheet QR opens that exact booking and court: season members go directly to its editable scorecard, while everyone else sees the public scorecard.

Every season has a readable public workspace with Overview and Rules & docs, plus a sign-in link for registered participants. These views reuse the same responsive interface participants see after signing in, with private data and controls removed.

When competition data is public, Overview gives visitors a compact summary of the next match day and the current top three standings. Signed-in season participants can use Open season to enter the complete workspace; other signed-in users see My account.

The public Scores view remains readable without an account. A banner above it lets signed-out visitors sign in and signed-in visitors open the currently selected scorecard in the full season when they want to edit. Signing in does not itself grant score-entry permission; the season's access rules and the visitor's team assignment still apply.

Enable Make competition data public to also expose read-only Bookings, Rounds, Schedule, Standings, Scores, and published Tournaments. Visitors see published or finalized rounds, saved scores, team names, venues, addresses, cancellation status, and team-assigned duties. Schedule initially opens the round containing the next match, or the most recent round when the season has no future matches.

Draft rounds and tournaments, individual or custom assignee names, private notes, rosters, availability, score notes and revision history, and editing controls remain private. If a court-level scorecard note exists, public visitors see only that a private note is available; the action adapts to let a participant sign in or open the full season.

Public documents are controlled separately by each document's audience. Choose Public on an individual document or link to show it without sign-in.

Choose Preview as public beside the season link or disclosure setting to open the exact page an anonymous visitor sees.

Time zones

When you create a season, it inherits the organization's primary time zone. Changing the organization default affects only seasons you create afterward.

If you change a season's time zone, its scheduled wall-clock values stay unchanged and are interpreted in the new zone. For example, 7:00 PM remains 7:00 PM.

You see schedules in the season's official local time. Your personal time-zone preference does not rewrite league schedule times but can affect displays that show your upcoming matches.
