How do I organize my own league?
One of the best features of TheActivityPartner.com is the ability to start up your own league and invite other members to join. If you want to start up your own league, click on 'Leagues' on the top menubar, then select 'Start A New League'. When you start up a new league you are now the League Administrator and are responsible for setting up the number of teams you would like in your league, the number of players on each team, adding statistics, updating standings and making up a schedule that can be printed off from the web site. To add members to your league, they MUST be members of this website, and then be added to your 'Friends List' first. You can invite other members to join simply by doing a search in your area for members who are interested in the same activity and sending them a mail message asking them if they would be interested in joining your league. If a member sends you a mail message asking to join your league, simply add that member to your 'Friends List' by clicking the 'Add To Friends List' button on their profile, then go to your league administration area (by clicking on the 'My Leagues' button in your Members Home area) and add that member to your league by selecting their name from the Friends List. Every member of your league has access to all of your league's information.

**Tip: If you are in a sports league and want to organize it better, designate one person as the league administrator. After joining the site, he/she will select the 'Start A New League' button and will name the league and select the activity (ex: Basketball) and city they are in. Once this is done, all members of the league will need to join this website. After joining, they will simply select 'Search For Leagues' from the Leagues page and select the city and activity of their league. Their league name wil then appear, and each player must click on the 'Contact League Administrator' text link. The league administrator will receive a mail message from each player and must select the 'Add To Friends List' button from each player. Once all players are in the league administrator's Friends List, he/she can place them on their respective teams.

If I am the league administrator, how can I make changes to the league?
Simply click on the Leagues button, then 'View My Leagues', and then click on the 'League Adminstration' link. If you are a league administrator for more than one league, select the league that you would like to make changes to. New players can be added at any time. You can also change the number of teams in the league and the number of players per teams. If you started the league as accepting only men or women but later want to allow anyone to join you can change that as well.

What if I do not want to do league administration duties any longer? You can simply go to your league administration area, select the 'Edit League' button, and you can choose any member of your league to take over your responsibilities beside 'League Administrator'.

How do I search for other leagues in my area and join an existing league?

Click on the 'Contact League Administrator' link from the league you are interested in, and this will allow you to send a mail message to that league's administrator.
