Things to try
Nothing here has to be done in order, and you won't break anything that a reset can't fix. Button and menu names are shown like this; if one has moved or been renamed, that is the product changing under the guide — tell us.
The safe one: demo a match
On Demo accounts, or from Preview — demo a match in the menu, choose Demo a match. You play both captains of one real demo fixture, on exactly the screens captains use:
- Pick your side.
- See the other side's lineup arrive — lineups stay sealed until both are in.
- Enter the result (Fill in sample scores does it for you).
- Switch to the other captain and confirm or dispute it.
- See it settled.
Nothing is saved — reload and the match never happened — so it is the place to try results without changing the shared demo.
As a team captain
Be Team captain (Céline Dubois, Saint-Arnac A).
- Pick a side: open an upcoming fixture and fill in Your lineup. It stays sealed until the other captain submits theirs.
- Enter a result: on a played fixture, enter each game's score and who played it, then Submit result. Every game is played to 13. The other captain is then asked to Confirm result or Dispute result; once confirmed, the league table updates straight away.
- Move a fixture: Request a change of date, then the two captains suggest and agree dates. Ask too late and the league decides whether a penalty applies.
- Hand over: use Grant result entry to let someone stand in for you between two dates. Then try the same as the vice captain — it is the one thing they can't do.
- Availability: see which of your squad have said they can't play. As the Player, set your own under My availability.
As a club administrator
Be Club administrator (Bernard Aubert, Saint-Arnac Boules). Everything is under the club's name in the left-hand menu.
- Players → Add player: add a member who has no account of their own.
- Teams → a team: choose its captain and vice captain, and register players for the league under League registration.
- Terrains: the club's ground, and asking to use another club's.
- Events → New event: a one-day competition, drawn on the day.
- Posts, Links and Settings → Website: what the club's public website shows — then View website ↗ to see it.
As Club administrator (new), the same screens start empty — try adding the first players and turning the website on.
As a league administrator
Be League administrator (Sylvain Castel). Under Leagues, each league has tabs: Overview (the table), Competitions (cups), Fixtures, Divisions, Sanctions, Transfers and Settings.
- Open a disputed or unplayed fixture and record the result yourself.
- Sanctions: late requests to move a fixture, waiting for your decision.
- Transfers: move a player to another team in the league.
- Competitions: the Coteaux Cup and Plate — draw the next round.
- Scorecards in the menu: paper scorecards still to arrive from the team that phones its results in.
- Clubs and Terrains: the league's clubs and grounds.
- View website ↗: the league's public site.
Set up a season from nothing
Be League administrator (new) (Renaud Bailly). Under Leagues, the Pont-du-Jour season is a draft, and setting it up is a step-by-step guide:
- Details and Rules — the match format, points and tie-breaks.
- Divisions — add at least one.
- Competitions — a cup alongside the league, or skip it.
- Teams — enter Cigales A. A league with one team has no one to play, so add a second: under Clubs, Add a club creates one for you.
- Season plan — the calendar, with weeks off.
- Fixtures — generated for you, then confirmed.
- Start — the season goes live and its rules lock.
Steps unlock as the ones before them are done. This changes the shared demo, so the next person to try it will find your season — until the next reset.
As a player
Be Player (Karim Haddad). Look at My profile — playing record and match history — and at Notifications, My availability and Calendar. Notice how much you can't reach: that is the point. Under My profile you can also choose to appear on public websites as Anonymous player.
As anyone at all
Open a league or club website — no passphrase needed. See Public websites. A neat test: confirm a result as a captain, then watch the table change on the league's website.
