HOW LEAGUES WORK

1. Open New Game and choose Ranked Game, or tap Play a Game on a league's board in the Leaderboard.
2. Pick Aces High (standard deck) or Jokers & Deuces (Joker, Joker, Deuce, Deuce). Sitting down joins you.
3. Everyone starts the season at 1000. Your rating shows on the Leaderboard after 10 counted games.

The Fall 2026 season runs October 1 through December 31. The old leaderboard is kept as Summer 2026, at the end of the Leaderboard list.

1. Open Leagues in the header, choose Create a league, then name it and pick its rules.
2. Invite your friends with Invite friends on the league's page, or from the Friends tab of your Account page. They tap Accept and they are in. Anyone else gets the six-character code and chooses Join with a code.
3. To play for it, tap Play a Game on the league's page. You can also set up a House Rules Game and pick the league under Play for a league.
4. When the season ends, the top three get gold, silver and bronze on their Account page.

• A season's rules are locked once it starts. New rules mean a new season.
• Leaving a league game early counts as a loss.
• Guests can play at a league table but don't score.
• In a league you start, only tables of four people count unless you let Expert AI fill empty seats.
• To hide your name on the boards, turn off Show my display name on leaderboards on your Account page.
• A Spadesinator Plus member can list one league on the Leaderboard once it has 4 members and 5 finished games this season.
• Any member can invite friends, not only the owner. An invite waits on the invited player's Leagues page and Friends tab until they accept or decline.
• Owners handle the rest from Manage league: rename it, close it, hand it on, or remove a member.
