There are a few different ways to run leagues in Birrdi. The right approach depends on how structured vs flexible you want your league to be.
Option 1: Fixed Schedule (Custom Events)
This is the simplest, most rigid setup.
How it works:
Create a Custom Event
Set it to repeat weekly (or your desired cadence)
Select the specific bays
Lock in the exact day/time
Result:
Time is fully blocked off on the calendar
Players show up at the same time every week
Limitations:
No flexibility for rescheduling
Not ideal if players want to book their own times
✅ Recommended: Flexible League (Membership + Credits)
This is the most scalable and flexible way to run leagues.
Players can book their own times while still staying within league rules.
Step 1: Create a League Membership
Create a membership such as:
Fall League
Spring League
League
You can:
Set the fee to $0 or a small entry fee (e.g. $5)
Important:
Even for $0 memberships, a credit card is required. This ensures you always have a card on file.
Step 2: Create a League Credit Plan
This is how you distribute “included” league play.
Example:
12 credits (12 hours total)
1 credit per day
If your league runs 12 weeks:
Members receive 1 free hour per week
Attach this credit plan to your league membership.
Step 3: Create a League Rate
Create a rate such as:
League
Fall League
(Keep the name consistent with your membership — this is recommended.)
Configure the rate:
Apply the League Membership to the rate
Set a discount to the rate price (e.g. 5%–10% off rack rate)
Restrict to:
Specific days of the week
Specific times
Set a date range matching the league duration
🎯 How It Works for Customers
Customer signs up using the membership link
They receive their league credits
They book using the League rate
They apply their credits at checkout
That’s it — fully self-serve.
