Back to all posts

We are excited to announce the launch of our latest feature: Custom Standings - Forfeit. This enhancement offers league organizers greater flexibility in managing league standings, ensuring fair and customizable outcomes for all participants.

What is Custom Standings - Forfeit?

Custom Standings - Forfeit is a section in the league settings in the Admin Portal, where league admins can configure the weight of forfeits for league standings. Here’s how it works:

  • Configure Forfeit Points:
    • Input how many points a team gains when their opponent forfeits.
    • Specify how many points a team loses when they forfeit against their opponent.
  • Automatic Points System:
    • When toggled on, the system automatically awards teams 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss.
  • Rank Points Adjustment:
    • If Rank Points are used in standings, admins can adjust how these are affected by forfeits.
  • Visibility Options:
    • Choose whether these league standings are viewable on the league page in the Player App, allowing players to reference them anytime.

A Commitment to User Experience:

These updates reflect our ongoing dedication to providing a versatile and user-friendly platform for sports league management.

We believe these enhancements will streamline the management of recreational leagues, making it more efficient and enhancing the overall experience for both organizers and participants.

As always, we welcome your feedback and are here to support you every step of the way. Stay tuned for more updates and features designed to make your league management experience even better.
