How to run a weekly league session on LADER

Here's a league that's halfway through its season. Four sessions have been played, and tonight's is next.

Open Today's Session in the sidebar.

Two players joined the league after this session was created, so they aren't in it yet. Open Session Players, click Add Player/Pair, and choose Players/pairs from a league.

Your league is already chosen, and everyone who isn't in the session yet is ticked. Click Submit.

For someone brand new, choose Player instead. Add player to league is ticked, so they join the league and are ranked. Untick it only for a one-off guest: guests can play, but they're never ranked.

Now set up the matches. Open Matches Setup. For who plays together, choose Rotating partners, then choose Ladder, and click Continue.

The Ladder's settings are copied from last week's session. To seed the players, click Manage Seeds.

Use seeding from starts on Previous session standings: where everyone finished last week. Choose League ranking to seed by the whole season so far, then click Save Seeds.

Back on the Ladder, click Add Court for each court you're using: four tonight. Then open Auto-Placement, and choose Place Players by Seed. The top of the ranking starts on Court A.

The two new players have no ranking yet, so they're left over. Open Auto-Placement again, and choose Randomize to put them on courts.

Click Preview Matches to check the matches, then Publish Matches. Players can now see their matches.

Scores are entered and locked the same way as in any session: the Sessions videos show how.

That's it for this part. Next up: setting up the league ranking.
