Step 1: Registration

• After installation, open the app and complete the registration by providing your phone number and email. Alternatively, you can quickly log in using one of the popular social media accounts for easy access.
• Confirm your registration by clicking the link sent to your email. Once verified, log in with your credentials and start exploring the features of the platform.

🧾 Step 2: Create a profile and team

• Go to the “My Team” or “Create a Team” section.
• Come up with a unique name for your team - it can be something creative, funny or hockey-related
• Add a team avatar (optional), customize the uniform color or logo (if supported).

🌍 Step 3: Join a league or create your own

Choose a league type:

• Public league - play with other random users.
• Private league - create your own and invite friends.

If you create your own:

• Set the rules: team limit (for example, up to 10), draft start, season length and point type.
• Get a link to invite participants.
• Confirm participation in the selected league.

🧠 Step 4: Participate in the player draft

• Wait for the draft to start (online or automatic).
• During the draft, select players from a list of real hockey players one by one.
• Consider positions: forwards, defensemen, goalies.
• The roster should be balanced — monitor the form, injuries, and playing time of hockey players.
• Use the budget limit (if any).

🧩 Step 5: Set up the starting lineup

• After the draft is complete, go to the “My Roster” section.
• Distribute players by position: who starts, who is on the bench.
• Follow real-life matches — their statistics affect your team’s points.

🔁 Step 6: Manage your team during the season

• Change the roster weekly: replace injured players, buy available players.
• Make transfers, exchange players with other league participants.
• Keep an eye on the leaderboard and rankings.

🏆 Step 7: Playoffs and title contention

• Depending on the league rules, the playoffs stage begins at the end of the season.
• The best teams compete for the championship.
• The winner gets the league trophy, in-game prizes, or real-world rewards (if available).

📱 Step 8: Use mobile notifications and analytics

• Enable notifications for injuries, matches, player news.
• Use built-in analytics and lineup tips.
• Install the mobile app if available to manage on the go.
