How to create, run, and terminate a Custom league (CL)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A) PREREQUISITES
1) Only "members" of the WLoH can create a CL,
meaning: you must have donated to the WLoH.
Merely having acquired the Premium version
of the WF app is a totally different matter ...
2) Learn, if you haven´t so far, to scroll to the right (=swipe left rather slower ...).
Some lines DO have important content hidden outside the right border of your display!
3) Be prepared to care to read (repeatedly ...) & understand this here text, as well as any info found on the "Create" page
4) If English isn´t your native tongue, you should know how and where to translate stuff
5) Be willing to clean up after yourself if anything goes wrong
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
LEGEND:
CL = Custom tournament or Userleague
DELETE = the "Delete this league" button
SEND = the "Send" button at the bottom, which writes your settings to the database, finalizing the creation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
B) The routine part:
After hitting the "Create tournament" button, READ! what you see, before you make choices or type text in boxes
1) "Select type": that IS important
you don´t want to see your tournament listed as "Wordfeud Norsk" if you want to play games, say, in Spanish
2) the name: try to keep it short, but informative
25 - 40 characters is fine, more than 55 is NOT fine
3) number of participants: for your first, try 4,5, or 6
keep in mind that potential opponents think twice before signing up for ever more matches ...
4) the following 4 radio button choices:
don´t touch them for your first - there´s too much reading and thinking to be done for those ...
5) let´s look at "You can play for Wlohty" for now (skipping 3 editable boxes):
!DO NOT TOUCH this! unless you´re 200 % positive that EACH & EVERY player inside the tournament owns the Wlohtys that you´d like to set here, because:
IF, in an open tournament, when the last player who fills it up to your set number, lacks only one of those Wlohty,
THEN there will be no way to make this CL start - it´s broken.
(... please do press DELETE in that case!)
C) The two HIGHLY tricky boxes,
plus one:
DO NOT TOUCH these NOW!
1) Sign up: pre-filled with your username, followed by an apostrophe
2) Invite: still empty
3) optimal text of invitation
!! DELAY touching these three boxes until after pressing SEND - they´ll still be around until the CL´s actual start
... unlike the following 3 (edit now...):
D) The final three text boxes:
1) REPLACE the content of the first one, if you don´t want to create a CL in WF Norsk
2) once created, the content of these boxes appears, AS PARAGRAPHS, near the top of the CL, right after it´s name
3) even if you leave them all empty, there´ll still be enough of the important info, displayed automatically by LoBot. So, no need to mention the state of the radio buttons in here
4) Recommendation: IF you intend your CL to be played on RANDOM BOARDs, THEN it´s a good idea to mention it here, as well as in the CLs name (see B2) prominently
5) IF you type any content, THEN be careful to NOT HIT THE ENTER (RETURN) button of your keyboard. Newlines will not be created inside these paragraphs! Hitting RETURN may create your CL INSTANTLY, though in a BROKEN state
E) now, for your first CL, hit SEND
This creates your CL, and displays
→ 1) the content mentioned in (B)
→ 2) buttons (Yes/No) for players to join the CL
→ 3) the table with yourself as the first player
→ 4) DELETE, plus the "Register Result" stuff
→ 5) the add/invite/remove boxes & buttons mentioned in (C) - NOW read (G) before touching those
→ 6) The comment box stuff (incl. an own "Delete comment" button, as in other WLoH groups
F) what users see, and what you should expect (to be written)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
G) how to NOW use the remaining input boxes to add or remove players before the start (to be written)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Questions?
PLEASE DO NOT COMMENT HERE!
Instead, invite me to a game, preferably on the random board, preferably in English or German
