  1. League Tools β†’ General tab

  2. Update League name (e.g., "Spring 2025" β†’ "Summer 2025")

  3. Tap Save

⚠️ Name changes require profanity check - allow 24-48 hours before your next event.

Why Keep the Same League?

  • βœ… Historical data stays together

  • βœ… Players don't need to rejoin

  • βœ… Less setup work

  • βœ… Builds reputation

Only create new league if:

  • Moving to completely different course permanently

  • Fundamentally different format

  • Running additional league alongside current one
