The league match

Every The League match has its dedicated page: a poster of the two teams with their division, a countdown, the points breakdown and a real-time match chat.

A league match page: kick-off countdown, points breakdown and match chat

Before kick-off​

The page shows a countdown to 9 PM. Use it to get organized with your opponent in the match chat (platform, lobby, house rules). Messages are visible to both teams and arrive in real time.

The check-in​

At kick-off, each team has 5 minutes to check in on the match page. Only captains and co-captains can check in.

Situation at the end of the 5 minutesOutcome
Both teams checked inThe match is confirmed, time to play
Only one team checked inWalkover in favor of the team that showed up
Neither team checked inMatch canceled, no points are exchanged

Score entry stays locked until both teams' presence is confirmed.

Entering the score​

After the game, each team enters the score from the match page:

  • if the two entries match, the score is validated immediately;
  • if only one team entered a score, it is validated automatically after a short delay (a validation countdown is shown);
  • in case of a disagreement, the entries cancel out and must be redone.

The points breakdown​

The Points breakdown panel shows, before you even play, what each outcome is worth: both teams' current points, the win probability, and the gains or losses for a win, a draw or a loss. Beating a stronger team pays more. The system is detailed in Divisions & standings.

The match log​

Below the chat, the log traces the official steps: pairing, check-ins, score entries and validation.
