How to choose between a tournament and a league

See what changes when you create a league instead of a tournament in the Event Planner, from game days to holidays.

Open Dodgeball Hub Updated November 13, 2026

The first step of the Event Planner asks what kind of event you’re running. A Tournament can have games on every day from its start date to its end date. A League has games only on the days of the week you pick between those dates, and skips the dates you mark as exceptions.

Before you start

  • You need to be a manager of an organization on Dodgeball Hub.

Steps

  1. Open your organization’s Event Planner, click Create Planner Event and choose League.

  2. Enter the season’s Start Date and End Date, then pick the days games are played under Days of the Week. You need at least one.

  3. Under Exception Dates (Holidays, Breaks, etc.), click Add Exception Date for each date the league won’t run, and pick the date. Use the bin next to a date to remove it.

The rest of the wizard is the same for both types: divisions, courts and timing, plus registration when teams register through Dodgeball Hub. Follow Create a planner event from there.

What else changes

  • Game days: the schedule of a tournament can use every day of its dates. A league’s uses only its days of the week, minus its exception dates.
  • The public event page: a league has a Recaps tab for weekly recaps, and its schedule can be browsed week by week. A tournament has a Pick’em tab once its schedule is published.
