How League Flights Work

Before You Begin

What's The Point?

Leagues often have separate Leaderboards for groups of players/teams based on skill level, gender, buy-in, etc. Flights allow a League coordinator to either generate groupings of participants either manually or automatically based on a set of criteria.

This article will outline the process of creating and managing flights within a League in the Gallus Events software.

Navigating To The Flights Section

1. Log into your Gallus Admin Dashboard.
2. On the Quick Start Page, click Events.

3. Click Leagues in the top-right of the page.

4. Select the League you'd like to manage Flights for.

5. On the League checklist page, click Flights.
