Leagues — run a season with rounds and standings

Leagues let a group of anglers compete across multiple rounds with a running points table — ideal for club seasons or fishing with a regular group of mates.

Creating a league

  1. Go to SocialLeaguesCreate
  2. Set a league name
  3. Choose the number of rounds
  4. Set the scoring method: most catches, heaviest weight, or silverfish only
  5. Set a points system: placing-based or participation-based
  6. Optionally set a rod limit and maximum members
  7. Tap Create

Inviting members

Share the league link or invite friends directly from the league screen. Invited friends join immediately — no approval step needed.

Starting the league

The creator taps Start League once at least two members have joined. The league cannot start with fewer than two participants.

Submitting a round

Each member links one session to represent their result for a round:

  1. Open the league and go to the current round
  2. Tap Link Session
  3. Pick a qualifying session

Standings update automatically after each round is submitted and finalised.

Adding a bot

Add a bot member to fill odd-numbered groups or to test the league format. Bots generate a simulated round result and are clearly labelled in the standings.
