Before you start

  • Sign in to your league admin.
  • This guide starts from a new league with no seasons yet. If you already have a season, start at step 6.

Steps

  1. Step 1: On Today, find Get your season ready and click Continue next to Create your season.

    Today lists what your league still needs. The first open step is highlighted, and Continue takes you straight to it.

  3. Step 3: Check the Year, then type a Name, like Winter 2026.

    The name is optional. Two seasons in the same year need different names, so it’s worth adding one.

What you’ll see

You have a season, Winter 2026, and your teams are in it. It’s your public season, so it’s the one your website opens on. Teams also get their own public pages.

Common questions

Do I have to name the season?
No. A season without a name shows as its year, like “2026 Season”. Two seasons in the same year need different names, though.
What is the public season?
It’s the season your website opens on: the public schedule, standings and stats start there. Your first season becomes it automatically. Later you can pick another one from the season’s menu in Seasons & playoffs with Make it the public season….
Can I add a lot of teams at once?
Yes. On Teams, click Import to upload a CSV or paste rows from a spreadsheet. The columns are matched for you, and you review the rows before anything is added.
I already have teams. How do I add them to a new season?
Open the season in Seasons & playoffs, go to its Teams tab and click Add teams. Pick the teams that play this season.
How do I remove a team I added by mistake?
On Teams, select it and choose Delete. Deleting removes the team with its games, box scores and roster rows, and it can’t be undone, so check first.
