To better support the needs of smaller leagues, we have added the new “pick up” league type in addition to the conventional league type “fixed teams”. Here is a list of differences between the two types to properly identify your needs.

Pick-up League

  • The manager enters a list of players without assigning them to a team.
  • At each game, two teams are defined by the manager or generated randomly from the list of players in the league.

Fixed teams league

  • The league can have more than two teams.
  • Players are assigned to a team by a manager (usually for the season). At each game, players retain their team.
  • A team may have captains.
  • The manager may add specific substitutes to certain teams as well as league substitutes.
  • A team ranking is generated from the game results.

To create a “pick up” type league, select this type in the league creation form. If your league is already created, go to your league settings and select “pick-up” as the league type. You must have exactly two teams to go from “fixed teams” to “pick-up”. Players from your existing teams will remain associated with the league.

Before starting a game, go to the game details and click on the “Create Lineup” button. Decide which player will be in which team manually or randomly by clicking the “Generate Random Lineup” button. If you are not satisfied with a random lineup, you can click the button again to generate a new lineup or make the final adjustments manually. Once satisfied, you can send the lineup to the players by selecting “Send Lineup to Players”. You can also print your lineup to display at the arena.
