The league wizard gets you from zero to a fully scheduled season in three steps. Teams, bowlers, and the weekly schedule are all generated automatically.

Step 1: League Settings

Configure the core details of your league.

League Name

Enter a name, e.g., "Monday Night Mixed" or "Thursday Scratch League".

Schedule Type

Choose Weekly, Biweekly, or Monthly for how often the league meets.

Season Length & Games

Set the number of weeks in the season and how many games per session (typically 3).

Step 3: Review & Create

Review your league configuration, team roster, and settings. When everything looks correct, tap Create League.

Director automatically generates the full weekly schedule based on the number of teams and weeks. Lane assignments, bye weeks, and matchups are all handled for you.

Tip

You can add, remove, or edit teams and bowlers after creation. The schedule adjusts automatically when teams change.
