Supported League Formats

What team sizes and match formats does the platform support?

Our league manager supports flexible team configurations — from singles to multi-player teams. You can define the number of players per team, number of games per match, and whether matches are played head-to-head or in open format.

Can we customize the number of games played in each match?

Yes! You can set the number of games (series) per match based on your league’s structure. Whether your league plays 3-game series or for example 4-game formats.

How does the platform handle handicap scoring?

We support multiple handicap calculation methods, including percentage-based systems and fixed-value models. You can configure base averages, max caps, and rounding rules to match your league’s preferences.

What point systems are available for scoring and standings?

The platform offers several point allocation models, including:

  • Head-to-head individual games and series
  • Highest individual game or series
  • Total team score and team series
  • Team grand total and highest team game

These options allow leagues to reward performance in different ways, as outlined in our scoring criteria.

Can we mix scratch and handicap scoring in the same league?

Absolutely. You can choose to apply scratch scores, handicap scores, or both — depending on the category. This flexibility lets you balance competitiveness and fairness across skill levels.
