1. Overview

A series captain is a trusted member assigned to one or more ranking series (mini-leagues). Your job is to keep that series standings accurate by entering official session results after league nights, round robins, or tournaments.

How series standings work

2. Getting access

  1. Your tenant admin creates a series under Club Rankings → Admin → Series.
  2. They search for you by name and click Assign captain.
  3. Sign in to your community site with your normal member account (email magic link, SMS, or password).
  4. Open Club Rankings (/rankings on your site).
  5. A Captain tab appears in the rankings navigation — only for members assigned to at least one active series.
No Captain tab? Confirm you are signed in with the same email your admin used, that the series is still active, and that you were assigned to the correct sport (section).

3. Captain tab walkthrough

  1. Choose your sport from the dropdown at the top of Club Rankings (if your club has more than one).
  2. Open the Captain tab.
  3. Under Your series, pick the mini-league you run. If you captain multiple series, each appears in the list.
  4. The panel shows:

4. Entering session results

Use this after an official session when results are final. Captain entry does not require member confirmations — standings update immediately when you save.

4.1 Fill in the session

  1. Event name — e.g. "Week 4 Round Robin" or "March Ladder Night".
  2. Date — the day the session was played.
  3. Event type — round robin, king of the court, or ladder (must match how scores should be weighted).

4.2 Add players

  1. Click + Add player for each participant.
  2. Type a name in Player and pick the correct roster member from search results.
  3. For doubles series, enter the partner's member ID in Partner ID when applicable (ask your admin if unsure).
  4. Enter W (wins), L (losses), T (ties), For / Ag (points for and against), and Place (finish position) as your format requires.
  5. Check Vol for members who volunteered to set up or score that session.

4.3 Save

Click Save & update leaderboard. The series standings and (if configured) the club-wide leaderboard recalculate automatically. The session appears under Recent series sessions.

When members submit results instead, players confirm with their wallet QR or 4-digit confirm code — captains do not need to collect confirmations manually.

Eligibility: You do not need to police eligibility when entering results — admins set who may register for linked events. Enter everyone who actually played; admins can adjust disputes separately.

5. Series settings you can change

Captains may update a limited set of fields for their series:

Check Use custom scoring weights for this series, adjust values, and click Save series settings.

Your admin controls the series name, season dates, eligibility (gender, format, rating band), whether results count toward the overall club leaderboard, and the overall weight multiplier. Contact them if those need to change.

6. Tournaments & event registration

Some communities run public event registration pages for tournaments (Admin → Events). When an event is linked to your series:

Members see the linked series name and eligibility on the registration page.

7. What captains cannot do

If you need any of the above, contact a tenant admin or sport chair.
