If you are considering launching one or more leagues within your club and want to use Nettla's league feature, make sure to read this article first. It will provide you with some general information as well as Q&A covering what is and isn't possible.
Can Nettla's league feature manage sign ups and pricing?
Yes, you are able to set if a league is singles or doubles based, and then set a price per player to pay in order for them to join.
If a league has doubles format, can players sign up by themselves?
No, if you have defined the league as doubles format, players will need to search for, and sign up with their partner for that league.
Can we assign certain days and times to be bookable for the league?
Yes, this is one of the feature in the Nettla leagues module. You and other admins at your club can define days/hours/courts in the schedule which can be used for league matches, and players may then schedule their matches on those slots. Your scheduled slots are known as "empty league slots" until a player decides to schedule a match on it.
Can players schedule in league matches at any available times in the schedule?
Yes, Nettla offers a 'general availability' feature for this purpose. That means you can turn that on for a league round within one of your leagues, and players can book their league matches on general availability that the club offers.
Can players schedule their matches further in advance than regular bookings?
Yes and No; it depends on what "empty league slots" you have added in your schedule. Players may schedule matches on the empty league slots that are added, so if there are league slots added further into the future than your standard booking window, then players participating in the league may schedule in league matches for those slots already now.
Does that mean league participants get a longer booking window than regular players?
Yes, but only for scheduling league matches where you have set up empty league match slots 'further into the future than your booking horizon'. They are not able to make regular bookings or matches on those slots. League matches have a different booking flow in the mobile app, which only shows the "empty league slots" that you have scheduled to that specific league.
Can we add in a result of a league match that has not been played at the club?
Yes, but only if the match is still registered in the schedule. Its only possible to add a result of match that is in the schedule and where the match's end time has been reached.
How do we add a match result of a match played outside of the club?
If you want to do this, you can schedule the match on a "fictional day/time/court", for example, yesterday or some days ago. You need to first add in an 'empty league slot' -> then populate it with the match that took place -> then go into the leagues feature to report the score as an admin. Note that players will receive booking confirmations when you do this, which they can of course ignore.
