Once Elite Eight is up and running, every other league you run can join it in Captainly. Same idea, same screens:
- On Home, tap +, then League, and give it a name.
- Add a season. Reuse Elite Eight’s rules with Templates, so you never set them up twice.
- Type in the team names, then tap Draw the schedule. The whole season is laid out in one go.
- Tap Send every manager their link. Each manager brings in their own players.
About 20 minutes a league. Most of that is typing team names.
Nico will help set them up. He can even build a league for you and send you an invite. You just tap Join, and everything’s waiting.
