Clubs¶
A club is the container for everything you run on ThrowSense. Leagues, series and tournaments all live inside a club. Members join the club; admins manage it.
Create a club¶
- Go to Clubs in the top navigation.
- Click Create club.
- Fill in the form:
| Field | What it means |
|---|---|
| Name | The public display name. Appears in headers and the leaderboard. |
| Slug | The URL-friendly identifier. Used in /c/<slug>/… links. |
| Description | Shown on the club's public page. Markdown supported. |
| Visibility | Public (anyone can find & request) or Private (invite only). |
| Location | Optional — helps regional discovery. |
| Language | Default language for club notifications. |
You become the club's owner automatically. Ownership can be transferred later from the club admin screen.
Invite members¶
From Club admin → Members you can:
- Send an invitation — enter an email or ThrowSense username; they get a notification/email link.
- Approve join requests — pending requests appear at the top of the members list when a club is set to public.
- Remove members — optional reason text is shown in their notification.
Club visibility modes¶
| Mode | Effect |
|---|---|
| Public | Listed in the public directory. Anyone can request to join. |
| Private | Hidden from directory. Invite-only. |
The Platform admin can browse any club — public or private — without joining it.
Subscription tier¶
Every club has a tier. All functional features are free on every tier — you only pay for scale (members, leagues, series, parallel tournaments); Elite additionally unlocks custom branding:
- League Standard — free. 1 league, up to 12 members, 1 ranking series, 1 tournament in any rolling 30-day window.
- League Team — €5.99/month (€59/year). 2 leagues, up to 24 members, 2 series, 3 tournaments.
- League Club — €15.99/month (€149/year). 4 leagues, up to 32 members, 4 series, 4 tournaments.
- League Elite — €29.99/month (€279/year). Unlimited everything, plus custom organization branding (primary + secondary colour, optional web font) and the global leaderboard spotlight.
Upgrade from Club admin → Billing.
Founding clubs¶
Clubs created during the early launch window are flagged as founding clubs.
- A gold founding badge appears on the club home page.
- Founding clubs keep their price lock — the tier price they signed up at stays fixed, even if list prices rise later.
- The cut-off date is set by the platform admin; clubs created after it are regular clubs. Nothing needs to be done to claim it — the flag is applied automatically when the club is created before the cut-off.
Worked example: creating Berlin Darts Club¶
Goal: a public club that runs one ongoing league and a yearly championship series, with ~25 members.
- Top nav → Clubs → Create club.
- Fill in:
- Name:
Berlin Darts Club - Description: Public Berlin darts club — open to all skill levels.
- Visibility: Public
- Language: English
- Name:
- Click Create. You're now the owner and land on the club home page.
- Open Club admin → Settings and turn Requires join approval on (so you vet newcomers before they show up in leagues).
- Club admin → Billing → activate League Club (you're planning ~25 members, above the 24-member League Team cap).
- Club admin → Members → Invite — paste a list of usernames or email addresses; each gets a notification/email link.
- You're ready — jump to the Leagues worked example to run your first season.
If you ever need Elite-only branding and the leaderboard spotlight, contact us from Billing; a platform admin can flip the spotlight flag on the club record.
Upload a club logo¶
A logo is available on every tier (Standard, Pro and Elite). It appears next to your club name on the public club page, in your own admin view, and — for featured Elite clubs — in the Featured Organizations strip on the global leaderboard.
How to upload:
- Club admin → Settings.
- Scroll to the Organization logo card.
- Click Choose file and pick an image.
- Click Upload logo.
Accepted formats: JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG. Maximum size: 2 MB. Square images render best (they're shown in a 96 × 96 frame in admin and scaled on public pages). Click Remove logo to clear it again.
Only club owners and admins can change the logo.
Delete a club¶
Only the club owner can delete a club. Deletion:
- Removes all club members, leagues, series and tournaments in that club.
- Does not delete player accounts.
- Removes the club's fixtures & results from the global leaderboard.
This action is irreversible — confirm twice.
