Create your account
Head to the Sign up page and enter your name, email, and a password. That's the whole form — you can start following teams immediately.
Joining from an invite
If a league operator or coach invited you, use the link in the invite email instead of signing up cold. The invite carries your role with it — accept it and you'll land with the right team or league access already in place, no waiting for someone to grant permissions afterwards.
Signing in & security
Sign in with your email and password from any device — everything lives in the browser, so there's nothing to install.
For extra protection, you can turn on two-step verification from your Account page. With it enabled, signing in on a new device asks for a one-time code sent to your email.
Finding your way around
The header is the whole map:
- Home — your followed teams, leagues, and tournaments.
- Tournaments — browse or run tournaments and brackets.
- Leagues — leagues, divisions, seasons, schedules, standings.
- Teams — team pages with rosters and calendars.
- Scrimmages — a marketplace for finding practice games.
- Bracket Builder — a standalone tool for quick brackets.
