Getting Started
Welcome to League Dispatcher! This guide will walk you through setting up your first league and getting games running in minutes.
1. Create your League
Log in and click 'Create League'. Give it a name, sport (e.g., Badminton, Pickleball), and choose your base timezone. This creates an isolated workspace for your data.
2. Define your Courts
Go to League Setup > Manage Players & Courts, then expand Bulk Add Players & Courts. Type your court names (one per line) and click Save.
3. Add Players
Go to League Setup > Manage Players & Courts, then expand Bulk Add Players & Courts. Type your player names (one per line) and click Save.
4. Configure the Day
Configure any other game settings such as dispatch algorithm, number of players per court... click save and when ready, click 'Start Game Day' and mark which players are currently 'Active' (present in the gym).
5. Dispatch!
Hit the 'Dispatch' button. The system will assign active players to available courts based on your chosen algorithm. When a game finishes, enter the score, and hit Dispatch again!
Pro Tip: Kiosk Mode
Instead of managing attendance yourself, set up a tablet or smartphone at the front door with a Kiosk Code. Players tap their own name to mark themselves 'Active' as they walk in. You can also set up a tablet with a read/write Kiosk Code so anyone can dispatch and finish games — delegating the organization to any player on the court and allowing the league admin to enjoy their play day without being tied to their phone.
