Player's guide

This guide covers your day-to-day as a player: checking your schedule, declaring an absence, accepting a substitution request, and keeping your profile up to date.

Your schedule

One League2GO account is enough for everything: your personal schedule shows the upcoming games from all your leagues in one calendar, whether you play in them as a regular player or as a substitute. You can view it on league2go.com or in the mobile app.

Your personal schedule lists upcoming games from every league you play in: here, two leagues in one list.

Tip: the app can also add your games to your phone’s calendar automatically. See calendar sync.

Declaring an absence

As a regular player, you are presumed present at your games. If you can’t make a game, open it in your schedule and tap the green presence button to declare your absence; it turns red. Tap it again to cancel your absence and declare yourself present.

The game page: you are presumed present; tap the red Declare absence button if you can't make it.

  • Declare your absence as early as possible. Your absence is what triggers the automatic substitute search, and the search needs time to contact substitutes and fill your spot.
  • Some leagues block absence declarations shortly before game time. If you can no longer declare an absence, contact your league manager or team captain; they can declare it for you.
  • If a substitute has already accepted your spot and your plans change, contact your league manager.

Accepting a substitution request

If you are a substitute in a league, you receive a substitution request when a player at one of your positions declares an absence. The request arrives by push notification, SMS or email, depending on your notification preferences.

  • The first substitute to accept gets the spot: answer quickly if you want to play.
  • You can accept or decline directly from the notification, or from the notifications section of the app.
  • If the spot has already been filled by the time you answer, you keep your place in line for the next request.

Your profile

Your profile is yours: once you have registered, only you can edit it, not your league manager. From your profile you can:

  • Add a photo so teammates and managers recognize you.
  • Set the positions you can play, so substitution requests match you correctly.
  • Choose your notification preferences (see notifications and reminders).
Your profile: photo and contact information; notification preferences are further down the page

To change your email address, cell number or password, see your account.

Leaving a league

To leave a league, ask your league manager to remove you from the roster, or use the leave-league option in your profile. Leaving a league does not delete your League2GO account; you keep access to your other leagues.
