Q: Can reports be customized?

Choose from any of the dozens of "standard" reports, or create your own custom report(s) to show whatever you wish. Any report can be exported to Microsoft Excel, if needed. You can even create custom views that let you see exactly what you wish on the main screen. League Manager is very flexible. But don't let all these "custom" capabilities overwhelm you. Most customers never need to create custom reports or views - they simply use the predefined reports and views that best fit their league's requirements.

 

 

Q: League Manager is so full of features, is it complicated to use?
A: NO! League Manager is intuitive to use so most customers never need help, but if you do, help is provided which gives step-by-step instructions for setting up your league. There is also a tutorial which quickly gets you up and running. Plus, League Manager's help system includes video tutorials so you can see a video that shows an actual example of how to perform the specific tasks. What could be easier? Also, if you need one-on-one help, email or call support (919-460-1628) and we will help you get going in a few minutes. After your league is set up, just enter scores and print reports.
