A tennis league is organized competition where players play multiple matches over a season and results are tracked by league rules. On Courtlio, leagues usually run as ladder or round-robin. Core flow: Join → Enter the season → Learn opponents → Schedule → Play → Submit result → Opponent confirms → Track standings. Each league's details appear on its season page; this guide explains shared Courtlio rules and format differences.
