Full Season Commissioner » League/Team Setup

ID #1000

As commissioner how do I set everything up and give the team owners in my league access to the site?

Upon registering your league you either created a RTSports Personal account or you registered the league under an existing personal account. By default, you are the commissioner of the newly-created league and can access that league as commissioner by logging into your RTSports account. This allows you to perform commissioner duties such as adding teams, setting up scoring rules, creating a schedule, etc. To get started login at www.rtsports.com and enter your personal account ID (which will be an e-mail address) and your personal account password. The initial time you access your league as commissioner you will need to complete some information in the setup wizard (Commissioner -> Manage League -> Parameters section) such as your league name, length of season, etc. In addition you can use the Quick Setup section to setup a representative league with a set of scoring rules and default parameters for length of season, roster size, owner privileges, etc. You should look at all the sections on the Commissioner -> Manage League -> Parameters page and make sure they are setup the way you want them to be for your league. At this point you are ready to add the teams in your league via the Commissioner -> Manage League -> Teams section. In this step you will be asked to enter a valid e-mail address for each new team. The system will send automatically send an e-mail to each team owner, inviting them to join your league. When they select the link in the e-mail, the system will ask the user to add the new team to their personal account (if the user does not have a RTSports personal account the system will provide links for the user to get set up with one.) Once the user has added his/her team to their personal account they -- like the commissioner -- will login at www.rtports.com using their personal account ID and password to access their team.

NOTE: If you do not provide a valid e-mail address when setting up a new team then you, acting as commissioner, will be the only one able to modify an information regarding that team.  

Also, if the commissioner does not enter a valid email address when setting up a team, that team's owner will NOT receive an invitation. The commish must then use the Teams->Modify Info pages and invite the owner(s) from the personal account section.  The commissioner can also invite any number of individuals to access a team at any time from the Teams->Modify Info menu in the personal account section.   He can also re-send invitations from that same page.

Remember, Commissioner access is only for administrative functions, so you will need to create a team for yourself as well. At this point you are ready to add players to the team rosters and create a schedule for your league. See our other FAQ entries on those subjects.

Note: When initially completing the setup wizard pages you MUST select the "Next" arrow at the bottom of the page to save the information.
