Organisations, Stores & Series

What is an Organisation?

An organisation is a named group that hosts leagues under a shared brand. Organisations allow you to:

• Manage a roster of members and staff
• Run series (championship arcs) that span multiple leagues
• Collect entry fees via Stripe Connect (LGS tier only)
• Maintain a public profile at /s/{slug}

Examples:

• "The Mana Vault" - a local game store
• "Springfield MTG Club" - a university society
• "Pacific Northwest Commander Circuit" - a regional playgroup

Creating an Organisation

1. Go to My Organisations → Create Organisation
2. Fill in the following fields:
   • Name - your org's display name
   • Description - a short summary shown on the public profile
   • Logo - upload an image or provide a URL (square format works best)
   • Discord invite link (optional)
   • WhatsApp link (optional)
3. Click Create

Your organisation is immediately visible at /s/{slug} and ready to host leagues.

Organisation Profile Tabs

Once created, your org profile has five main tabs:

Staff Roles

Managing Members

Inviting Staff and Members

Go to the Members tab → search by email or screen name → select a role → click Invite. Access is granted immediately upon acceptance.

Handling Join Requests

A Join Requests section appears at the top of the Members tab when pending requests exist. Approve or reject each request individually.

Removing Members

Click the Remove button next to a member to revoke their org membership. This does not remove them from leagues they have already joined.

What is a Series?

A series is a named collection of leagues whose results aggregate into a single standings table. Use series to run championship arcs that span multiple events.

Example: "Spring Sealed Circuit 2025" - three sealed leagues across March, April, and May; points roll up into a circuit leaderboard.

Series standings include:

• Overall rank
• Total points
• Cumulative W/L/D and total match count
• GWP and OWP (for tiebreakers)

Series Points Table

By default, series standings add up each player's raw league points across all linked events. This works well when all your leagues use the same scoring system. If your events use different formats or scoring scales, you can set a points table instead.

A points table awards series points based on where a player finishes in each event, not how many points they scored. For example:

This is the circuit model used by most competitive league series - a player who consistently finishes in the top 4 across multiple events accumulates more series points than someone who won one event and dropped from the rest.

To set up a points table, go to your series profile page and click Edit Series. Add rows for each finish range and assign a point value. You can add as many rows as you like and remove any row that doesn't apply.

Creating a Series

1. From your org page, go to the Series tab → Create Series
2. Enter a Name and optional Description
3. Click Create

Event Calendar

The Calendar tab shows a month-view of every upcoming, active, and completed event hosted by your organisation. It is publicly visible - anyone who visits your org page can see upcoming events without logging in.

Each event tile in the calendar is colour-coded by format and clickable:

• Non-recurring events: clicking navigates directly to the event page.
• Recurring events (managers only): clicking opens a scope selector - you choose whether to navigate to that specific occurrence, or take action on the whole series.

The calendar header shows the current month. Use the chevron buttons to navigate backwards or forwards.

iCal Subscribe & Export

Your organisation has a live iCal feed that works with Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, Outlook, and any other iCal-compatible client.

Subscribe (stays up to date automatically)

1. Go to the Calendar tab on your org profile
2. Click Subscribe (iCal)
3. Copy the feed URL and paste it into your calendar app's "Subscribe" or "Add by URL" flow

New events added to MTGSL will appear in your calendar app automatically on its next sync (usually within an hour).

Export (one-time snapshot)

Click Export (.ics) to download a static .ics file. Import it into your calendar for a point-in-time snapshot. New events added after the export will not appear - use subscribe for a live feed.

Recurring Events

Use recurring events to schedule a pattern of leagues or majors in one step - for example, a weekly Friday Night Commander that runs every week for eight weeks. Each occurrence is created as an independent event but all share a recurrence group that lets you edit or delete them in bulk.

Creating a Recurring Event Series

1. Go to the Calendar tab and click Add Recurring Event
2. Choose Event Type (League or Major) and the Format
3. Set the First Occurrence date and time, and the event Duration in hours
4. Choose the Frequency:
   • Weekly - select one or more days of the week (e.g. every Monday and Thursday)
   • Daily / Every N days - set the interval (e.g. every 14 days)
5. Set the End Condition:
   • After N occurrences - specify the total number (max 52)
   • On a date - generate occurrences up to and including that date
6. Optionally link all occurrences to an existing Series
7. Click Create

All events in the series appear on the calendar with a icon.

Editing a Recurring Event

Click on any recurring event in the calendar. A scope selector will appear with three options:

Deleting a Recurring Event

In the calendar, recurring events show a small button next to the event name. Click it to delete with the same three-scope choice:

• This event only - removes the single occurrence
• This and all following - removes from this occurrence onward
• All events in the series - removes every occurrence and the recurrence group

Duplicate Event

Once a league is completed, a Duplicate Event button appears in the league's Settings tab. Duplicating creates a new league with the same name, format, rules, and scoring configuration - but with no participants, matches, or results. Use this to quickly set up a repeat season without re-entering all the settings.

After duplicating you are taken directly to the new league where you can update the name, dates, and any other settings before inviting players.

Linking Leagues to a Series

There are two ways to link a league to a series:

• During league creation (Step 1): Select your org first, then choose the series from the dropdown that appears.
• After creation: Go to League Settings → select the series from the dropdown.

Org-Level vs. League-Level Staff

A person can hold both roles simultaneously - for example, a co-organiser can be an org Manager and also appear as staff on every individual league.

Editing Your Organisation

Click Edit Store on the org profile (owners and managers only). You can update the name, description, logo, and communication links at any time with no restrictions on frequency.

Deleting an Organisation

Click the Delete Store button and confirm. This removes the org and its public profile page.

Practical Notes

• Series and league pages require login - direct players to create a free account before sharing links.
• Series standings are read-only for players - only managers see management views.
• Logos display best at a minimum of 200×200px in square or circular format.
