There are many ways you can tailor-fit your league events to create more opportunities without adding more work onto your plate. By hosting your events on League spot, you can:

• Enable and disable auto-start for each round individually, allowing you to change your mind at any time.

• Add late teams after starting the season, giving you a solution that scales without delaying when your first matches begin.

• Host multiple seasons at once, any game titles, times and formats! Tack on scheduled auto-start and you can now support different groups simultaneously and still get their matches started at the exact time you need.
