Getting started
Set up your level ladder, import players and invite your team.
This guide is for the organizer (league manager) of an organization. It takes you from an empty organization to one that is ready for its first season. It takes about 20 minutes.
1. Organization settings
- Open Management → Settings & levels.
- Check the organization name, upload a logo, and choose the default language (Hebrew or English) and the time zone. Match times are shown in this time zone.
- Add a contact email if you want it shown to your members.
2. Build your level ladder
The ladder is the base of the handicap. Each level has a letter and a points value. List the levels strongest first. When two players meet, the weaker one starts every frame with the difference in points.
| Level | Points | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A | 0 | Strongest level, no head start |
| B | 5 | Starts 5 points up against an A player |
| C | 9 | Starts 4 points up against B, 9 against A |
| D | 12 | Starts 3 points up against C, 12 against A |
Add levels under Settings & levels → Level ladder (handicap). You can also skip this step: importing a player sheet with level and points columns builds the ladder for you.
3. Check the level change protocol
Under Level change protocol you set how players move between levels: the change points per result, the threshold (±5 by default), the minimum number of matches before a change (4) and how often the total is checked. The defaults follow the common rules, so most organizations can leave them as they are. The details are in Handicap and levels.
4. Add your players
Open Players. There are two ways:
- One by one: Add a player with a name, a level, and optionally an email and phone.
- Import a sheet: Import from Excel / CSV. Columns: name, level, points, email, phone. Hebrew headers work too, such as "שם שחקן", "אות" and "פור". A level that isn't on the ladder yet is added with its points.
Every player has a district level (used in the districts stage) and a national level (used in the play-off and knockout). Both start at the level you enter.
5. Add your venues
Under Venues, add the clubs where matches are played: address, website, contact and the number of tables. Venues are then available when you schedule matches.
6. Invite your team
- Open Management → Members & invites → Invite someone.
- Enter a name and an email or a phone number, and choose a role:
- League manager: can do everything in the organization.
- District manager: looks after one district. Choose the district (create the season and its districts first).
- Player: link the invitation to the player's profile so their matches show up for them.
- Viewer: can see everything but change nothing.
- The invitation goes out by email or SMS. If neither is set up, or you left both empty, copy the link and send it yourself, for example on WhatsApp. A link works once and expires after 14 days.
People can also ask to join: they create an account and enter your organization code, which is shown on the same page. Requests appear under Join requests for you to approve or reject.
