Seasons & Matchweeks
Organize your league into seasons with scheduled matchweeks and fixtures.
Overview
A season is a complete competitive period in your league. Seasons are divided into matchweeks, each containing a set of fixtures (scheduled matches between teams).
Structure: League → Season → Matchweeks → Matches
Understanding Seasons
Each season is a fresh start with:
- Reset standings (all teams start at 0 points)
- New matchweek schedule
- Potential roster changes
- Option to add or remove teams
Season States
Draft: Setting up, not yet started
Registration: Teams can join/leave
Active: Matches being played
Completed: All matches finished
Matchweeks
A matchweek is a grouping of matches that occur during a specific time period, typically one week.
Matchweek Structure
- • Each team plays once per matchweek (typically)
- • Has a start and end date
- • Matches must be completed within the window
- • Results affect standings immediately
Scheduling Flexibility
Teams can schedule their matches any time within the matchweek window. This allows flexibility for different time zones and team availability.
Generating a Schedule
Once your teams are registered, generate the matchweek schedule:
- 1Close Registration
Lock in your team list before generating.
- 2Choose Format
Single round-robin (play everyone once) or double round-robin (home and away).
- 3Generate Fixtures
The system creates balanced matchups across all matchweeks.
- 4Review & Adjust
You can manually adjust fixtures if needed before the season starts.
Tip
Schedule Types
Single Round-Robin
Each team plays every other team once.
Matchweeks needed: N - 1 (where N = number of teams)
Double Round-Robin
Each team plays every other team twice (home and away concept).
Matchweeks needed: 2 × (N - 1)
Managing Matchweeks
As a league admin, you can:
Reschedule Matches
Move matches to different dates or times within the matchweek.
Postpone Matches
Delay a match to be played later, often to a different matchweek.
Award Walkovers
Give a team an automatic win if opponents don't show or forfeit.
Void Matches
Cancel a match entirely (no points awarded to either team).
Reporting Match Results
Match results can be reported by:
- League admins: Can report any match result
- Team captains: Can report their team's matches (if enabled)
When both teams report the same result, it's auto-confirmed. Conflicting reports are flagged for admin review.
Running Multiple Seasons
Your league can have multiple seasons over time:
- Previous season standings are preserved for history
- Teams can carry over or be invited fresh each season
- Use different formats or rules per season
- Run preseasons, regular seasons, and special events
