Part 1 — Getting Set Up
1
Register as a League Member

Before you can submit match results, you (and your players) must be registered with the league.

How to Register:

  • Visit the league's public website (your league admin will have shared the link)
  • Look for a "Join the League" or "Register" button in the navigation menu
  • Fill in your name, email address, phone number, and any other required details
  • Submit the form — your league admin will approve your registration

Can anyone registered in the team submit scores?

No — only the designated team captain can submit results. Your league admin sets which player is the captain for each team. If you need to be set as captain, contact your league admin.

Play Your Match

✍️ Fill out your paper scorecard during the match as normal:

  • Record each player's name against their singles match
  • Record each game score (e.g., 11-9, 8-11, 11-7)
  • Note the final overall score (e.g., Home 5 – Away 3)
  • Optional: Write the player of the match name

Select Your Players

At the top of the match card, you'll see player slots for both teams. Select who played in each singles match position.

Enter the score for each game — type the home score on the left and the away score on the right

The system auto-calculates — the winner of each individual match and the overall score update automatically as you type

Upload a Photo of the Physical Scorecard

Both Captains Confirm the Result

Before submitting, both the home and away captain need to confirm the scores are correct.

  • Scroll to the "✓ Confirm" tab at the end of the match card
  • The home team captain ticks their confirmation box
  • The away team captain ticks their confirmation box
  • Once both are ticked, the "Submit for Approval" button becomes active

Submit the Result

With both confirmations ticked and the photo uploaded, tap the big green "Submit for Approval" button at the bottom of the page.

  • The result is sent to your league administrator for review
  • You'll see it listed as "Pending" in your Captain's Dashboard
  • Once approved, the league tables and player statistics update automatically
  • You'll be redirected back to your dashboard when done
  • 🎉 That's It!

    ❓ Common Questions

    Q: Can any team member submit the result, or only the captain?

    A: Only the registered team captain can submit results. The captain is the person whose email address is linked to the team by the league admin. If you need to be set as captain, contact your league admin.

    Q: Do I need to download an app?

    A: No! Everything works through your phone's web browser. Just go to the league website. You can add it to your home screen for quick access (tap your browser menu → 'Add to Home Screen').

    Q: What if I'm not registered yet?

    A: Visit the league website and look for the 'Join the League' or 'Register' link. Once your admin approves you, you'll be able to sign in and access the Captain's Dashboard.

    Q: What if one of my players isn't in the dropdown?

    A: They may not be registered with the league yet. Contact your league admin to get them added. In the meantime, you can still submit the result — just note which players were unavailable.

    Q: What if I can't get the opposing captain to confirm on the same device?

    A: If you can't get them to physically tick the box, note it down and contact your league admin. They can override the confirmation if needed.

    Q: What if the system is down or I have no internet?

    A: Your progress is saved automatically, so you won't lose your scores. You can also take a photo of the scorecard and submit it later once you have a signal.

    Q: When should I submit the result?

    A: Best practice is to do it right after the match while the scorecard is still in front of you. Your league may have a deadline (e.g., within 48 hours) — check with your admin.
