INTRODUCTION

  • Feature Summary: Create pickleball leagues to manage one or more tournaments (i.e. sessions).

  • Use Cases: The Leagues add-on creates an umbrella organization to manage one or more sessions. Admins could, for instance, have separate leagues for pickleball and tennis. Inside the pickleball league, admins can run multiple sessions, such as juniors, seniors, and co-ed. Each session is a separate data silo, so managing players, payments, and matches is fast and efficient.

Module 2 is an eleven-part quick-start guide highlighting the key steps admins should complete when creating events and leagues for pickleball players. This article is Part 8.
