Creating a leaderboard

A leaderboard is your league. Name it, add a logo, and it is ready for teams. On Free you can only have one.

A leaderboard is your league. It holds teams, collects the matches you tag into it, and works out the table. Creating one takes a name and one tap.

Before you start

On Free you can have one leaderboard. Every account is given one when it is created, so a Free account is already at the limit. Pro has no limit. See "What you get on Free and on Pro".

Whoever creates a leaderboard is its Owner.

Create it

  1. Open Leaderboards in the menu. The heading counts the leaderboards you are in.

    The Leaderboards list with one leaderboard, and the Create New Leaderboard button outlined at the top right.

  2. Select Create New Leaderboard. The window has two fields.

    The Create Leaderboard window: an Upload Leaderboard Logo control, and the Leaderboard name field outlined.

  3. Type a name in Leaderboard name. Fifty characters is the most it takes.

    The same window with "KB 08 Friday League" typed in the name field, and the Add button outlined.

  4. Add a logo if you want one. Select Upload Leaderboard Logo and choose a JPG, GIF or PNG under 3MB. You can add one later instead.

  5. Select Add. The new leaderboard appears in the list, badged Owner.

    The list now showing two leaderboards. The new card is outlined and carries an Owner badge.

  6. Select Open Board. The board is empty until teams join it.

    The new leaderboard's board: 0 Teams joined, both tiles at zero, and Team Stats reading "No teams data available".

What you will see

An empty board. Team Stats reads "No teams data available" until teams are added. Add them next - see "Adding and removing teams".

A banner you did not choose. Every new leaderboard gets one of six stock images. Change it, and the logo, on the settings screen.

No style to pick. The Leaderboard style field on the settings screen reads "Football leaderboard" and cannot be changed.

On Free

On Free, Create New Leaderboard does not open the window. It opens Leaderboard Limit Reached instead.

  1. Your list shows the one leaderboard your account came with.

    The Leaderboards list on a Free account: one leaderboard, with Create New Leaderboard outlined.

  2. Selecting Create New Leaderboard opens the limit window. Nothing is created.

    The Leaderboard Limit Reached window: "Free plan users can create only 1 leaderboard. Delete your current leaderboard or upgrade to Pro Membership to create another." with a FREE Upgrade (Beta) button.

You have two ways past it. Delete the leaderboard you have, or select FREE Upgrade (Beta) to take Pro. Pro is free during the beta and upgrades your account straight away.

If it does not work

  • Add stays greyed out. The name is empty. A leaderboard has to have a name.

  • You get Leaderboard Limit Reached and you are on Pro. Reload the page. The window is drawn from the plan the app loaded when you signed in.

  • Your logo is refused. It has to be a JPG, GIF or PNG, and under 3MB.

  • You cannot find the leaderboard you were given. It is named after you - "Fern's leaderboard". Rename it on the settings screen rather than making a new one.
