Managing Members

Admin Privileges

・Circle Settings — Edit circle name and description

・Delete Circle — Permanently delete the circle (from the settings page)

Regular members can "Leave" the circle on their own.

Account Linking (Unlinked Participants)

When sessions are played with guests or anonymous participants, those records may not be linked to circle member accounts. The circle detail page shows an "Unlinked Participants" section visible to all members.

How Account Linking Works

・For Members (Self-Link)

If you see your name in the unlinked participants list, click "Claim as me" to link those session records to your account.

・For Admins (Link Any Member)

Admins can link any unlinked participant to any circle member using the dropdown selector. Each unlinked participant shows the number of sessions they participated in.

Irreversible Action

Account linking is permanent and cannot be undone. Make sure you are linking the correct participant to the correct member account before proceeding.

Circle Rankings

Rankings are auto-calculated from completed sessions linked to the circle:


Ranking Categories

・Overall Rankings (Top 3)

Matches / Wins / HP (Rating)

・Rule-Specific Rankings (Top 3)

Total Score / Worst Total Score / High Score / Low Score

Session Integration

Linking Sessions

Select a circle when creating a session, and the results will automatically appear in the circle's history and rankings. You can also link (or unlink) a session after it ends.

The league feature is currently under development. Season-based league matches within circles are planned for a future release.
