Running a league

Cancel a session and add a make-up

What happens when a week is rained out, and why the season doesn't get shorter.

Works today

Weather happens. The rule here is that cancelling never quietly shortens a season people paid for.

Cancelling a week

  1. Open the session from the Schedule tab.
  2. Cancel it. A make-up session is appended automatically.
  3. Choose extend (everything else stays put, the season runs a week longer) or shift forward (the remaining weeks all move). Extend is the default and the one that surprises fewest people.
  4. Captains are notified. Say why in the league chat as well — a date change with no reason reads as disorganisation.

What we won't move

  • The season never gets shorter on its own. If you want fewer sessions, change the session count deliberately.
  • Weeks already played, in progress or completed are never moved.
  • Playoff weeks stay where they are.

Common questions

Half the fixtures played before the rain came.

Results already in stand. The make-up covers only what didn't happen.

I actually do want a shorter season.

Cancel with the shorten option rather than relying on it as a side effect. It's a deliberate choice, so it's a deliberate control.

Only one fixture is affected, not the week.

Reschedule that fixture from its edit sheet instead. Cancelling the session is for when nobody plays.
