Create a League

This guide walks through creating a league, adding divisions, and configuring settings in the Admin dashboard.

1. Create the League

1. Log in to dash.staty.io 
2. Click “New League”
3. Fill in the league details:
   • Name — e.g. “Spring Soccer 2026”
   • Contest type — Mens / Womens / Co-ed / Open
   • Sport(s) — Soccer, Basketball, Volleyball, etc.

2. Add Divisions

Each division holds its own teams, standings, and schedule.

1. Open your new league
2. Click “Add Division”
3. Name the division — e.g. “Competitive”, “Recreational”, “Division 1”
4. Configure division settings (optional):
   • Capacity — maximum number of teams
   • Min/Max players per team
   • Game duration in minutes
5. Repeat for each skill tier or age group

3. Configure via API

You can also create leagues and divisions programmatically:

# Create a league
curl -X POST https://api.staty.io/api/v1/leagues \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Spring Soccer 2026",
    "contestType": "coed",
    "sports": ["soccer"],
    "startDate": "2026-04-01",
    "endDate": "2026-06-30"
  }'

# Create a division within the league
curl -X POST https://api.staty.io/api/v1/divisions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sk_live_..." \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Competitive",
    "league": "league_abc123",
    "config": {
      "capacity": 12,
      "minPlayers": 7,
      "maxPlayers": 15
    }
  }'
