League Operators

Set up your first season

Leagues, divisions, seasons, teams, and a published schedule — the league operator's path from zero to opening day.

01

The hierarchy, explained

Four levels, top to bottom — worth thirty seconds before you create anything:

  • Governing body — the umbrella org (e.g., PONY, Little League).
  • League — your organization (e.g., San Marcos Youth Baseball).
  • Division — an age or skill bracket inside the league (e.g., Mustang).
  • Season — one competition window in a division (e.g., Spring 2026), holding the teams, games, standings, and playoffs.

Teams live in the league and get assigned into seasons — so next spring is a new season, not a new team.

02

Create the league & divisions

From Leagues, create your league — you automatically become its admin. Then add a division for each age bracket you run.

Leagues — create yours, then add divisions
03

Create the season

Inside a division, create the season (name, year, type). The season page is command central from here on — Overview, Teams, Schedule, Standings, Tiebreakers, and Playoffs tabs.

The season page — every tab you'll need for the rest of the year
04

Add the teams

On the season's Teams tab, pull in existing league teams or create new ones. Coaches get access via email invites that carry the team-manager role with them — no post-signup permission wrangling.

Teams — assign into the season, invite the coaches
05

Build the schedule

Enter games by hand on the Schedule tab, or use auto-scheduling to generate a balanced slate from your locations, dates, and game-length rules — then adjust the exceptions.

Schedule — hand-entered or generated, coaches and parents see it instantly
06

Standings & tiebreakers

Standings compute live as scores post. Configure your tiebreaker rules once (head-to-head, run differential, runs against…) and the table resolves ties the way your rulebook says — and when the regular season ends, seed the playoff bracket straight from the final table.

Standings — live, tiebreaker-aware, and the seed source for playoffs
Tip
Run a year-end tournament too? The Tournaments side of the app handles pool play, seeding, and multi-bracket playoffs — same teams, no re-entry.
