We’re proud to announce that Athleague has now opened it’s doors so that anyone can start their own Athleague network to run a sports league or team, or even organize a pick up game. You’ll have your own URL and be Master of your (Athleague) Domain! (Yeah, we love Seinfeld. What can you say.)
You can sign up at athleague.com by clicking Start a Network, or you can just click here. Be sure to designate the network as “Private” unless you’re starting one for an intramural program at a university.
So sign up, explore, and let us know what you think. We’re going to be adding tons of functionality over the next few months. For example, right now, you’ll have to organize a team to get a pick up game together (have the members join the team and then plan the pick up game as an event), but we’re working on making pick up games independent.
And we really want to hear from you. Be sure to give us feedback and let us know what you think. The changes you want to see will be the changes we make. Enjoy!
We wanted to clarify what the season function is used for. First, there are two types of seasons - league and network. A league season allows you to essentially wipe your slate clear for a new season of the same league - say you run an annual football league and it’s time for a new season. You have the option of keeping the teams and/or rosters or clearing everything. This way, you can come back and view all of the past seasons of a particular league in the future.
A network season is a little more complicated, but similar to a league season. It allows you to clear all the leagues in your network without deleting them. It’s good to use this between semesters or perhaps once over the summer to get ready for the new year. All the data that is cleared is stored and can be accessed later. However, it’s not wise to move back to a previous season after it’s been switched, as teams and leagues that have been created since will not be reflected or visible in the older state of the network. It is easiest to use this simply to clear the slate of leagues between semesters or years.
As always, feel free to contact us for clarification or further questions.
Watch out for our commercial during the Super Bowl today!
Yes, we’re kidding. But hope everyone enjoys the Super Bowl today. We’ve got some Super news coming soon, so stay tuned here as well.
Today, Barack Obama was sworn in as our nation’s 44th President. Congrats to him from all of us at Athleague, and we’re all looking forward to a hopefully successful presidency. We’re not a very political bunch, but today was such a momentous day that we couldn’t help ourselves.
