Welcome to The Beer League

This guide walks you through setting up your account, forming a team, joining a season, and playing weekly matches.

First-time setup

1. Log in with Discord when prompted.
2. Go to your profile and add all of your Riot IDs in the format Summoner#TAG.
3. Please list every account you might play on. This helps us mitigate smurfing.
4. Set your primary account (your highest-rated one) using the “Make Primary” button in the Linked Riot IDs section.
5. Select your preferred roles and optionally check “Looking for Team.”
6. If selected, you’ll appear on the Free Agents list and captains can reach out on Discord.
7. Request a salary review by clicking “Request salary review.”
8. Ratings reset at the start of every season or within 3 months of your last review, whichever comes first.

Teams

Create a team

1. Visit the Teams page and click “Create Team.”
2. Enter a name and tag, and upload a logo.
3. Note: Explicit imagery is not allowed and may result in a permanent ban.
4. After creating, you are the captain and can manage your team on your profile under “My Teams.”

Invite teammates

• Go to “Manage Invites” → “Create Invite” → copy the link and send it to your teammate.
• Each invite link:
• Works for 48 hours
• Can be used by one person only (create a new link per teammate)

Join a team

• Simply open a valid invite link while logged in and you’ll be added automatically.

Team limitations

• You can captain up to 2 teams.
• You cannot be on 2 teams in the same season (you may join both teams, but you’ll be locked to the first one that applies to the same season).
• You may be on 2 different teams if they’re in different seasons/divisions.

Joining a season

1. When a season is created, it appears on the Seasons page.
2. Each season card shows the description, salary cap, start date, and registration deadline—please read these.
3. Click the season card and then “Apply Team.”
4. On the application form, select your “starting 5.”
5. Flexing roles in matches is allowed; this selection is just for application purposes.
6. The total salary of your 5 must be less than or equal to the season’s salary cap, or the application will be rejected automatically.
7. After submission, admins will review your application and ratings. Once accepted, your team appears under that season’s Teams section.

Weekly matches

1. After registration closes, admins generate the schedule on the season page.
2. Each week, your captain (or the opponent’s) opens the week’s match link, clicks the “Game N” card, and generates a tournament code.
3. Important: Generate a new tournament code for every single game played.

Troubleshooting
