# What is Scoreholio Seasons?

Track points, memberships and rankings across tournaments run by your organization.

Scoreholio Seasons connects separate tournaments into one ongoing points race. Your organizers run events in Scoreholio, submit the results to your season, and you approve them. Seasons uses your point rules and counting limits to build the rankings.

Use it for an organization, club, tour or league whose players compete across multiple events. You can include events from multiple organizers and let players change doubles partners while tracking individual points.

## How it works

1. [Create your season](/track-points-across-events/track-points-across-events/getting-started.md) and set its dates and access rules.
2. [Build your point options](/track-points-across-events/track-points-across-events/season-options.md): divisions, event categories, types, pools and points.
3. [Add organizers](/track-points-across-events/track-points-across-events/organizers.md) who can submit events.
4. Organizers [submit completed tournaments](/track-points-across-events/track-points-across-events/submitting-a-tournament-to-a-season.md).
5. [Review and approve events](/track-points-across-events/track-points-across-events/tournaments.md), then [check the rankings](/track-points-across-events/track-points-across-events/player-rankings.md).

## Seasons or a scheduled league?

Choose **Seasons** when the goal is to combine results from separate tournaments into standings. Choose [Run a Scheduled League](/run-a-scheduled-league/run-a-scheduled-league.md) when the goal is to build and run a fixed schedule of matches. A season's event **Type** describes how submitted results earn points; it does not create the tournament itself.

Start with [Getting Started](/track-points-across-events/track-points-across-events/getting-started.md), then follow [Create and Configure a Season](/track-points-across-events/track-points-across-events/season-setup.md).
