🧱 Setting up your league

Complete your league setup after approval by configuring League Tools, updating league details, setting up divisions, and preparing for your first event.

Once your league is approved, you'll be redirected to League tools. Before creating your first event, take a few minutes to complete your league setup. Here's what to configure.

Accessing League tools

From the web: Go to udisc.com/dashboard and select your league.

From the app: Tap the You tab → Menu (≡) → Dashboard, then select your league.

General settings

Go to League tools → Settings to fill in your league's core information:

  • League name — clear and descriptive. See below if you need to change it after setup.

  • Main course — your primary course. You can use different courses per event if needed.

  • Public email — contact address for players

  • Headline — a one-line description of your league

  • Description — full league details, format, and what players can expect

  • Play format — Singles, Doubles, or Teams (default for new events)

  • Start format — Shotgun, Tee Times, or Flex Start (default for new events)

Tip: Want to run themed or special-rule rounds — like a one-disc round or putters-only round? There isn't a dedicated setting for these. Use your league Description (or an individual event's description) to lay out the rules so players know what to expect before they check in.

Tap Save league when done.

Note: Completing your General settings before creating events ensures your league page looks polished and players have the right contact information.

Changing your league name

To update your league name after setup, go to League tools → Settings, edit the League name field, scroll down and tap Save.

Important: League name changes are reviewed automatically. If the name contains profanity, hate speech, or other language that violates UDisc's standards, the update won't be applied.

General event settings

Under League tools → Settings, you'll also find General event settings — these are defaults that auto-apply to all new events you create. You can still adjust them per event when creating. Options include default registration type, scoring options, and other event-specific preferences.

Note: This includes your default Optional extras — logistics info like bathroom and water availability, parking, and bag tags. Whatever you set here applies to all new events, but you can change it for an individual event under League tools → Events → Edit, at the bottom of the page.

Divisions (optional)

Go to League tools → Divisions to configure which divisions you'll offer. You can choose from standard PDGA divisions (MPO, FPO, MA1, MA2, etc.) or create custom ones. These become your defaults for new events. See How do I add divisions? for full details.

Event tags (optional)

Add tags (optional extras) in League tools → Settings to help players discover your events. Filterable tags — including Glow, Ace pool, For charity, Women/girl friendly, Beginner-friendly, Junior friendly, Bag tags, and Handicaps — let players search and filter at udisc.com/events or in the app. Each tag includes a description field that displays on your event details page in the app and on the web.

Photos (optional but recommended)

Upload a cover photo and league logo from League tools → Photos. High-quality images showing players enjoying your course help attract new members. The cover photo appears as a banner on your league page; the logo is your square profile image.

Note: League events use this cover photo by default. To set a different cover photo for a specific event, go to League tools → Events, select the event, then open any Event tools screen (like Participants or Schedule). From there, tap the Photos tab to update that event's cover photo.

Standings (optional)

Enable standings if you want to record season-long points across your singles events. Go to League tools → Standings, set your date range, configure points, and tap Save.

Note: Standings only work for singles events — not doubles or teams. See How do league standings work? for full details.

Members tab

Players automatically become members of your league when they check into an event — you don't need to add them manually. Use the Members tab to view everyone who's joined and to add or manage admins. See How do I add or remove admins?

What's next?

Once setup is complete, create your first event. See Creating a UDisc League event or How to run your first disc golf weekly to get started.
