Audience: Newly approved League Directors | Level: Beginner | Time: 15-20 minutes
Quick Answer
After your league is approved, access League Tools at udisc.com/dashboard (or in the app: More → Dashboard → [Your League Name]). Complete the Dashboard checklist, fill in General settings, configure Divisions and Photos, and optionally enable Standings before creating your first event.
How to Access League Tools
From the web:
Go to udisc.com/dashboard
Select your league name
From the app:
Tap You -> Menu (top right) → Dashboard
Tap your league name
📣 What are League Tools? Your central hub to create events, manage scoring, update league details, manage members, and configure standings.
Complete Your League Setup
Step 1: Use the Dashboard Tab
The Dashboard tab helps you track setup progress.
Features:
☑️ Setup checklist with tasks to complete
☑️ Quick Navigation shortcuts to create events, view all events, and view members
💡 Pro tip: Check off each task as you complete it to stay organized.
Step 2: Fill in General Settings
The General tab contains your league's core information.
Required information:
League Name - Clear and descriptive
Main Course - Your primary course (you can use different courses for individual events)
Public Email Contact - How players can reach you
Headline - Brief one-line description
Description - Full details about your league
Default format settings:
Play Format - Singles, Doubles, or Teams
Start Format - Shotgun, Tee Times, or Flex Start
⭐ Important: Fill in all details before creating events. This helps players understand what to expect.
Don't forget: Tap "Save League" at the bottom after making edits.
Step 3: Configure General Event Settings
Important: General event settings are different from general league settings.
General event settings apply as defaults to all new events you create. Changes here automatically apply to any new event, but can be adjusted per event as needed.
What you can set:
Default registration type
Default scoring options
Other event-specific preferences
Step 4: Set Up Divisions
Configure which divisions will be available for your events.
How to configure:
Go to the Divisions tab
Select which divisions you want to offer (MPO, FPO, MA1, MA2, etc.)
These become your default divisions
You can adjust divisions for individual events later
💡 Best practice: Start with fewer divisions (MPO, FPO, MA1, MA2) and add more as your league grows. Learn more: ➗ How do I add divisions?
Step 5: Add Event Tags (Optional Extras)
Add tags to help players find your events when filtering.
Examples: Beginner-friendly, Glow golf, Casual play, Competitive, Fundraiser
How it works:
Select default tags for your league
Tags appear on your league's public page
Players can filter events by tags in the Events tab
Tags can be changed per event when creating
Step 6: Upload Photos
Add visual appeal to attract players.
What to upload:
Cover photo - Banner image for your league page
League logo - Square logo for your league
Tips:
Use high-quality images
Show players having fun at your course
Keep images appropriate and welcoming
Step 7: Enable Standings (Optional)
Decide if you want season-long standings tracking.
When to enable:
✅ Running a season-long league (8-12+ weeks)
✅ Want to reward consistent participation
✅ League is singles format (required for standings)
To enable: Go to Standings tab, set season dates, configure points settings, and tap Save. Learn more: 🔢 How do league standings work?
⚠️ Note: Standings only work for singles format events, not doubles or teams.
Step 8: Review Your Members Tab
The Members tab shows everyone who has joined your league.
💡 Note: Players automatically become members when they check into your events.
Understanding Your Tools
As you manage your league, you'll use two interfaces:
League Tools - League-wide settings (create events, manage members, edit league details, configure divisions, manage standings, update photos)
Event Tools - Individual event management (registration, check-in, scorecards, leaderboard, score editing, payouts)
What's Next?
Once setup is complete, you're ready to create your first event!
Next step: Create your first event using 📅 Creating a UDisc League Event
⏰ Timeline tip: Create events 1-2 weeks in advance so players can plan to attend.
Common Questions
Q: Can I change these settings later? A: Yes! Update any league settings anytime through League Tools. Changes to defaults won't affect existing events.
