🎾Technical explanations about leagues
💭Which round can the players enroll in?
New teams can always join the round in status “next” and only if the number of maximum of teams haven't been reached. Please remember that current teams are calculated as Teams in the ongoing round + Teams in the next round. If the league has an ongoing round or Teams in the upcoming round + Teams in the next round, if the league has an upcoming round.
💭Will players be able to leave the league from the app once the league has started?
No, they won’t. The only date range they could leave the league is before reaching the enrollment deadline
💭Will partners (the 2nd player of the team) be able to leave the league from the app during the leaving time (if it is before the enrollment deadline)?
No, they won’t, because it is like it works in tournaments. Only the main player could remove the team enrollment before reaching the enrollment deadline
💭 Points system explanation
This hybrid points system allows the manager to set points by the match in 2 different approaches:
“Spanish model”: this is the model that has been used typically in Spain for a long time, where the manager can set the points to give the teams if they win (playing 2 or 3 sets), lose (playing 2 or 3 sets), tie (incomplete score indeed), or even if they walk-over
“Sets model”: this model allows the manager set the points by set to give the teams in case the match has not a complete score
💭 Can the manager open a waiting list for the league?
A waiting list can not be opened, but the player can join the league along with the competitions if the league is not full. Please remember that current teams are calculated as:
Teams in the ongoing round + Teams in the next round, if the league has an ongoing round.
Teams in the upcoming round + Teams in the next round, if the league has an upcoming round.
Players will be informed about the number of round when they join
💭Can a player join a league that will be played in pairs and wait until the league manager finds a partner for him?
No, a player can only join a doubles league selecting his/her partner
💭Is it possible to charge players in a regular way (for example monthly)?
No, managers can only charge the player an up-front fee when joining the league
