- Either start a game as normal, or join a league game against anybody that you want.
- League matches will be denoted with the following icon:
- Make sure the match you are playing has that league icon, otherwise it is not a league match and will not be recorded.
- You will only be able to join league matches for leagues you are a part of (ie if you are not a member of a baseball league team, you will not be able to join a baseball league match)
- If you create a best of 3,5, or 7 match, only the result of the entire best of 3,5,7 will count as one win, one point.
- The wins and losses will be automatically recorded when the game is over, there will be no reporting.
