Fields in this section

FieldWhat it means
TitleThe name your players see everywhere — make it easy to recognise, like Tuesday Night Doubles.
SportThe sport played. It decides which formats and ratings you can choose later.
VenueWhere you play. Pick a venue you've joined or recommended — see Find or recommend your venue.
DescriptionA few words players read on the group's details — skill level, what to bring, how it runs.

Enrollment ModeAuto: players join immediately. Manual: you (or a co-captain) approve each request.

Good to know

  • You can come back and change Basic Information later with Update Basic Info.
  • A draft is private — use Save as Draft as often as you like while you set things up.
  • When every section is complete, Publish Readiness says so and you can publish. See Publish Readiness → Publish.
