Leagues in Birrdi

Birrdi includes a dedicated League plan type, making it easy to organize league play without using Memberships.

League Plans allow you to define a league season, enroll players using a sign-up link, distribute credits, and control when league rounds can be booked.


Step 1: Create a League

Navigate to Plans from the top navigation.

Click Leagues from the left-hand sidebar.

Click Add League.

Configure your League:

  • Name (e.g. Fall League)

  • Description

  • League Start Date

  • League End Date

  • Public Sign Ups

  • Price (optional)

  • Credit Plan

  • Terms & Conditions

Unlike Memberships, Leagues do not have recurring billing or billing cycles.

Players join the League once, and their League remains active until the League End Date.

Once you've finished configuring the League, click Save.


Step 2: Create Your League Welcome Email

League Plans include an exclusive Welcome Email feature.

When a player signs up for your League, Birrdi automatically sends this email immediately after registration.

This is the perfect place to explain how your League works.

We recommend including information such as:

  • League rules

  • League format

  • When players can play their rounds

  • League start and end dates

  • How scores should be submitted

  • How standings are tracked

  • Contact information

  • Any additional expectations for participants

A well-written Welcome Email helps answer common questions before your players ever arrive.

Important: Birrdi manages League registration, credits, and reservations, but it does not track league scores, handicaps, or standings.

If you're using software such as:

  • SGT

  • Golf Genius

  • GSPro Leaderboards

  • A Facebook Group

  • An Excel or Google Sheets leaderboard

  • Any other scoring platform

be sure to explain that process in your Welcome Email so every player understands exactly how scores are submitted and how the League is managed.


Step 3: Create a Credit Plan

Create a Credit Plan that determines how many League credits each player receives.

Example:

  • Initial Credit Supply: 12

  • Max Daily Credits: 1

  • Credit Increment: 1

  • Expiration Rule: Expire

This would provide players with twelve total League credits while limiting redemption to one credit per day.

Attach this Credit Plan to your League.


Step 4: Share Your League Sign-Up Link

After saving your League, click Copy Signup Link.

Share this link on your:

  • Website

  • League registration page

  • Email campaigns

  • Social media

  • QR codes

Players simply click the link, register, and immediately become League participants.


Step 5: Create a League Rate

Create a dedicated Rate for your League.

Examples:

  • League

  • Fall League

  • Wednesday Night League

Configure the Rate by:

  • Attaching the League

  • Enabling Allow Credits

  • Setting any desired League pricing or discounts

  • Restricting available days and times

  • Matching the Rate's date range to the League season

This ensures League credits can only be redeemed during approved League booking windows.


How It Works for Players

  1. The player signs up using your League Sign-Up Link.

  2. They immediately receive your League Welcome Email.

  3. They receive the credits from the attached Credit Plan.

  4. They reserve using the League Rate.

  5. If the reservation is eligible, their League credits are automatically applied (based on your Auto Apply Credits setting), and they can still review or adjust those credits before completing checkout.

Everything is completely self-service.


Important Note About League Scoring

Birrdi is responsible for:

  • League registration

  • Player enrollment

  • Credit management

  • Reservations

  • Payments

Birrdi does not manage:

  • League scoring

  • Live leaderboards

  • Handicap calculations

  • Match results

  • Season standings

You'll need to use your preferred League management solution for scoring, whether that's dedicated League software or your own process.

For the best player experience, always explain your scoring and communication process in the League Welcome Email.
