Your league, from first login
to the final result.

01 / League guide

Start here: find your way around

Sign in to your own SnookerSync account. This guide covers captains, vice captains and players. The buttons you see depend on your role and the season stage.

1. Choose Compete. On a phone, the main navigation runs along the bottom of the app. On a wider screen, it appears down the side.
2. Open your league card in My Leagues. Check its name and season stage. This opens your league workspace: the page with your team, fixtures and shortcuts. You can also open a league from Home when its card is shown there.
3. Check Next fixture and Needs attention. Captains and vice captains can tap the fixture action to select a lineup, enter scores or review a result. Read the action label: it changes as the match progresses.
4. Scroll down to Quick access. Use these shortcuts for Fixtures, Standings, Teams & players and Player stats. Available shortcuts vary by role.
5. Use the back arrow to return to the previous screen. To choose a different league, tap Compete and open another card in My Leagues.

Select any screenshot in this guide to enlarge it. Screenshots illustrate example teams; follow the button names in the instructions.

Choose the steps for your role

If you are joining as a player

1. Give your captain your registered email or exact app alias. They use it to add your account to the roster.
2. If you already play as a guest, link that record first. Follow Guest players & claiming with the person who created it. Ask before creating a second roster entry.
3. Open Compete and your league. Check your team in Teams & players, then open Fixtures for the schedule.
4. Tell your captain if your name, team or handicap is wrong. Use Contact admin for league issues that need the organiser’s help.

A captain can also play for the team using the same account. A league admin has extra organiser controls and may also be a captain or player; the team tasks here still apply to that role.

03 / League guide

Join a league and register your team

Have your team name, division, home club and player details ready. Your league may also ask for real names and handicaps.

1. Open the correct league. When registration is open, tapping its card opens Register a team. If registration is closed, opening it may let you follow the league instead. Contact the admin about joining a playing team.
2. Enter your team name and choose a division. You are included as captain. Check the division with your organiser if you are unsure.
3. Build the roster. Choose players from your friends, or enter a registered player’s exact email or alias and tap Add. For someone without an account, use Guest player name → Add.
4. Complete the requested player details. Check handicaps if enabled. In a real-name league, complete the required names and acknowledgement.
5. Select a home club. Search the available clubs or propose a new one using the form. Check the club and venue details before submitting.
6. Tap Submit registration. Wait for the success message. You are taken to the league workspace, where your team awaits the admin’s review.

What happens after you submit?

If the admin has already created your team for you, it's already approved — there's no submission step. Open it from My Leagues to check the roster and club details, and contact the admin if anything needs changing.

04 / League guide

Understand the season stages

A league is the competition; a season is one run of that competition. A division groups teams. A fixture is a scheduled meeting between two teams, made up of individual frames.

If you cannot see an expected action, check both your role and the season stage. A player’s workspace has different controls from a captain’s, and setup screens differ from an active season.

05 / League guide

Add guests and link their accounts later

A guest is a player record for someone who does not yet have their own app account. A captain can add guests to the roster so they can take part in the league.

You can also create a guest in Friends. Only the person who created that guest can start the account-linking request later.

When the guest creates their own account

1. Ask the player to register and share their account details. Use their exact registered email or app alias.
2. Open Claim this player on the existing guest. Enter those account details and send the request. Check that you have chosen the right person.
3. The player opens Friends in their own account. The request appears at the top. They choose Yes, that’s me if it is their record, or No, this isn’t me if it is wrong.
4. Allow the history transfer to finish. After confirmation, their league and match history is linked to their account. Check the roster and history once processing completes.

A message you can send to your player

“Please create your SnookerSync account and send me the email or alias you registered with. I’ll send a request to link your existing player record. Then open Matches and tap Friends. Check the request at the top and choose ‘Yes, that’s me’ if the guest record is yours.”

06 / League guide

Find fixtures and request a new date

1. Check the date, time and teams. The List view groups fixtures by week. Use All fixtures from the workspace as another way into this screen.
2. Switch to Grid for the wider schedule. It shows team pairings across the season. Check the division and any inter-divisional fixtures when applicable.
3. Open the fixture or its available action. Captains and vice captains can use their workspace’s Next fixture or Needs attention card to reach the current match task. Completed fixtures let you inspect the result.

Request a reschedule · Captain

1. Choose an eligible upcoming fixture. Check you have the correct opponent.
2. Choose the New date and time. Check the proposed time, then tap Send request.
3. Open Review requests → Sent. The request waits for the opposing captain. You can cancel your request while it is pending.
4. The opposing captain opens Review requests → Received. They approve or reject the proposal. Once approved, check the new date and time in Fixtures.

07 / League guide

Set the lineups and start the match

1. Check the fixture and your home or away side. Each team official selects their own team’s players.
2. Follow your league’s lineup order. In home-first leagues, the home team confirms first; the away team then selects its lineup. In independent-lineup leagues, either side can confirm first.
3. Choose players for each frame. Fill every required slot, including both partners for doubles if your format uses them. Check the order carefully.
4. Tap Confirm Lineup and confirm the prompt. Your lineup is now locked. If it is wrong, contact your league admin.
5. Home team: tap Start Match once both lineups are confirmed. The away team waits for the home official to start. Follow any timing prompt shown by the app.

08 / League guide

Enter, submit and approve the result

The home captain or vice captain enters and submits the scores. The away captain or vice captain reviews them. Publishing a frame shares its score; submitting the whole result sends it for approval.

1. Enter the final home and away score for each frame. Use the scoreboard totals. You do not need to record every shot.
2. Add any breaks to the correct player. Check the player and break value before publishing.
3. Tap Publish frame for the completed frame. The away team can see published frames while the match continues. If you change a published score or break, republish that frame.
4. Finish and check all frames, then tap Submit Scores. Wait for confirmation that scores were submitted. The result now awaits approval from the away team.

Away team: check the result

1. Check every frame. Compare the players, scores and breaks with the agreed match record.
2. If everything is correct, tap Approve Result. The fixture is complete once approval succeeds. Approved results feed the standings and statistics.
3. If something is wrong, tap Request Correction. Select the affected frames, choose what needs checking, add a useful note if needed, and send the request.

Home team: respond to a correction

Open Scores need correction → Update scores from the workspace. Read the reason and affected frame numbers. Correct the scores or breaks, republish changed frames, then use Submit Scores again. The away team reviews the corrected result. Contact the admin if the issue needs a player or locked-lineup change you cannot make.

09 / League guide

Nominate a vice captain

1. Tap Team overview to expand the roster and find the player. They need a registered account linked to their player record. An unclaimed guest cannot be a vice captain.
2. Tap Make vice beside the player. Check the role is shown on the roster after the change saves.
3. Ask them to open the league in their own account. They can help select lineups, enter home scores or review away results.
4. To remove the appointment, use Remove beside the vice-captain control. This removes the vice-captain role; it is separate from removing a player from the roster.

The captain continues to handle rescheduling and vice-captain appointments. Choose someone who can cover match-night duties when you are unavailable.

10 / League guide

Check standings, teams and player stats

1. Choose Standings for the league table. Check the relevant division and the points and frames columns.
2. Check Include pending results. Turn it off to see the table based on approved results. Turn it on to include submitted results that are still awaiting approval; those standings can change after review.
3. Choose Player stats for league performance. Browse win averages, high breaks and the other available statistics views.
4. Choose Teams & players to inspect rosters. Find a team or player and check their league details. Ask the admin about incorrect team assignments or handicaps.

Standings and stats reflect result updates when they reach your app. If something looks missing, check that the result is approved and that you have opened the correct league, season and division.
