How to create a league on LADER

A league is a season of regular play, with a ranking that builds up session by session. It's hosted by your organization, so you'll need to be one of its admins.

Click Create in the top bar, and choose League.

Your organization is already selected as the host. Enter the league's name, and LADER fills in its web address. Then find the venue under Location, and pick it from the list.

Set the season's start and end dates, and the usual start and end time. These dates don't create any sessions: you'll schedule those in part three.

Under Media, add a cover image for the league's page. Then check the contact details: they're shown to players, and your email is filled in for you.

League is listed lets players find it in search. And Players can submit scores for matches they play in lets players with a linked account enter their own scores. Both are on by default. Click Create League.

Your league is created, and this is its home page.

Next, decide who helps you run it. In the sidebar, open Management, then League Roles.

Everyone on your organization's team is already an Administrator. To add someone else, search for them by name: they need a LADER account. Pick a role, and click Add Role.

Role Descriptions explains each one: Administrators can do everything, Moderators manage players, sessions and matches, and Scorekeepers can enter the score of any match. Roles reach every session in the league, including ones that already exist.

The player score switch is here too. Set it before you schedule sessions: each session copies it when it's created, so a later change only reaches new sessions.

That's it for this part. Next up: adding players to your league.
