This is the best component for managing sports teams and leagues, but it doesn't say much because the alternatives are really poor.

I actually like this component and the developers are onto the right path. However it lacks a lot especially in the front-end editing were I am facing many problems.

I would like the managers of each individual team to be able to submit scores, team picture, logo etc. I have not been able to configure this yet.

I also lack a lot of CSS styling - you have to be pro to figure this part out.

It would be nice if the developers would spend more time on updates as the latest version is from July 2008 !!
I would be willing to pay for a better version as there are no better alternatives on the market (at least I haven't found it yet)

Once you know how to use it, it works perfect. I'm using it for a roller hockey club which has 15 teams, and it rocks. People gives nice support throught the forum. I'm also waiting for 1.5 native.

The only issue I think it should be developed is around design and CSS connections of some components.

I love this component!
I'm using it for basketball and it works great! We have 12 teams in 12 different leagues!

I gave rating "Good" because it isn't 1.5 Native!
In fact it's the only component that I use that requires Legacy mode in Joomla!

Lookin forward to the 1.5 Native version!

Btw. does anybody know when will 1.5 Native version come out or are they working on it as we speak?
Official site doesn't offer much information on 1.5 Native version or I just can't find it!

I been using this component and works great!

I'm impressed from this mod, but it's inapplicable for individual sports, like snooker or billiards!

I initially had some doubts about using this for a different league altogether. But after looking through all the details it has, it is amazing.

I setup one for a pool league, between Teams 10 players each team. With 2 Groups of 7 Teams.

And my table shows race difference and rack difference!

Customisable from a soccer league to a pool league!

Just amazing

I am part of a team on a site that has used Joomleague extensively, for a number of leagues over the last year or so.

Its been upgraded a few times during this period, and I have to say, the work done on this component is superb.

The problem with league software (and I've been using this league software or similar since 2004) is that it has to be able to do a number of things to suit a wide range of sports with differing teams, fixture setups, scoring methods and so on.

This means that Joomleague can come across as somewhat complicated to novice users of the software. But, some perserverance will achieve excellent results.

If you're after quick slapdash league software that doesn't bring much to the front end, look elsewhere.

If you're after something that will look great, have some excellent features (stats, prediction leagues and so on), and are willing to put a bit of effort in to produce the goods, Joomleague is the way forward.

This component ensures that the league/fixtures/stats section of your website is something to be proud of and a focal point of your website.

Personally, I can't speak highly enough of this software, and anyone that I speak to that is looking to start a sporting website, this is the first thing I recomend.

Although its a work in progress, it's the best thing out there and it's free!

v .92 doesn't appear to have any major bugs. It appears to be complicated for the beginner, but with patience, you can do almost anything you want with joomleague and your sport of choice.

I love it. Great job guys!

I'm running it on two sites and with few modifications all the component and modules do vast amount of job for you. Nice gadget for all who need to publish sport-like things within their Joomla! pages.

THUMBS UP

No manual, threadbare English-language support forum, and lots of roadblocks, puzzles and bugs (e.g. wrong days showing, mysterious frontend editing behaviour, Mootools incompatibility, forced Champions League etc, positions in tables by default).
Probably all fixable on investigation, but life is short. Sorry to say, it makes the argument rather well for commercial licensing.
This looks like it could be a wonderful extension. It's 90% there, but the last 10% is critical. Uninstall scheduled.

I can't say enough about Joomleague. It is incredibly deep and will work with most sports with just a few modifications. The community over at www.jooomleague.de is great for getting answers to questions and finding help.The developers are committed to the product and continue to make enhancements and new releases. Great stuff!!!

I agree that this is a exellent extension, especially the new uppdate 0,92, but the lack of documentation is sometimes annoying.
The wikipedia is not enough. Thank god för the Forum but you have to search through it a great deal in different launges and hope that you find the answer to your problem.

This extension is all you have been hoping for managing leagues of several different sports. You might have some workarounds to achieve your goal, but if you face a problem you always find help in the forum. This is really excellent work. Congrats to all joomleague workgroup members!

I installed this plug to use for an online gaming league for Quake III. It was pretty easy to get going, but did take some getting used to. I think its a geat start and the english section has grown. I value the work that has gone into the mod and did donate to help the cause.

With that said, I'd like to see more documentation, and it would be nice if this would somehow use the joomla users profiles and then you could just select which players are playing and assign them. Juser integration would be a natural fit since juser also lets you customize and expand the fields.

Keeep up the great work and hope to see some common sense when it comes to jooma users integration. When you have more that 100 players to enter manually, it gets to you.

the support is very insufficient. No Guides, no tutorials, no handbook. Clicking on the help we land on a page where are just 3 or 4 images commented in German language.

Many thxz Mr.Robert Moss this work is incredible.

Have made use of this extension on my site. Must say that this is really a good piece of work despite some minor bugs on backend. For one who is just a user, not a programmer, this extension is a piece of cake to get up and running. On the other hand must say that especially for basketball sites features are not 100% compliant, but I do not want to distract devs from more important development tasks. Once this extension is really mature I am gonna kindly ask for statistisc modifications to suite the basket world. Many thanks for this

There is a very good framework in place here, but the component suffers from immaturity. The modules are the main concern, and there seem to be quite a few bugs in the interaction with the component.

The other issue is the English translation. The team is German based and has a large forum community but it is thin on the ground at the moment.

I have applied this module to a rugby based site, but at time of writing, this will not work with Heineken Cup rules as there is no bonus point functionality.

This component will work for simplified games, but beware of the module bugs, and quirky set up.

was waiting for this for a long time. Came in just in time!

THANX AND GOOD WORK!

I was waiting for this componnent for a while now. Does really the work described.

The only negative thing is, in my opinion, this "front end" link stuff. It would be better to be able to create a menu item that links to a particular part of the componnent. If you need to show a "club" info for example, than you should go to the componnent website, look for how the link is done & modify it so that it works on your website.
