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
- Go to My Organisations → Create Organisation
- 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)
- Click Create
Your organisation is immediately visible at /s/{slug} and ready to host leagues.
Organisation Profile Tabs
Once created, your org profile has four main tabs:
| Tab | What You'll Find |
|---|---|
| Events | All linked leagues; includes a Create Event button |
| Series | All series; includes a Create Series button |
| Members | Team and players; manage invites, roles, and join requests |
| Stripe Connect LGS only | Payment setup and Stripe connection status |
Staff Roles
| Role | Permissions |
|---|---|
| Owner | Everything - edit org, manage all events, invite/remove anyone |
| Manager | Edit org details, create events and series, invite members |
| Staff | Assist with event management, view participants |
| Judge | Moderate matches, view and handle fair play reports |
| Member | Join events, view the org profile |
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:
| Finish Position | Series Points Awarded |
|---|---|
| 1st | 15 pts |
| 2nd | 12 pts |
| 3rd - 4th | 8 pts |
| 5th - 8th | 4 pts |
| 9th and beyond | 1 pt |
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
- From your org page, go to the Series tab → Create Series
- Enter a Name and optional Description
- Click Create
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
| Type | Where Set | Scope | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Org-Level Staff | Members tab | Visibility and permissions across all events; can create leagues and series | Co-organisers and permanent team members |
| League-Level Staff | League Settings → Staff | Permissions only within that specific league | Freelance judges or one-off TO helpers |
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.
Known Limitations & Planned Improvements
- The series linking UI requires selecting the org before the series during league creation - a more guided flow is planned.
- There is currently no single dashboard view showing all of a store's active leagues and their health at a glance.
- Join requests are manually reviewed with no automated approval rules.
