Getting Started: LeagueCloud Online & Online Solo League Setup

Open Sync CompanionInspect Live Demo League

Whether you are a Commissioner wiring OOTP's Online League FTP Settings (`ftp_info_dialog`), a General Manager (GM) joining an existing league, or a Solo Player transforming a single-player save into an Online Solo League hosted on LeagueCloud, choose your role tutorial below to step through the interactive setup.

SOLO PLAYERS WELCOMEAny Solo League Can Be Transformed into an Online Solo League & Hosted on LeagueCloud

Per the official OOTP Online League Setup Manual, every OOTP game starts with online mode disabled, and any existing single-player solo save can be converted into an Online Solo League at any point in its history (Year 1 or Season 50) by clicking OOTP Menu → Game Settings → Global Settings → Global Actions → Enable Online League Mode. Hosting your solo save on LeagueCloud unlocks all 14 Sabermetric & BNN Broadcast Hubs, automatic $0 egress Cloudflare R2 cloud backups, immutable per-sim SQLite time-machine snapshots, and Frozen Smart-Embed Dynasty Lore — with the option to invite human GMs later if you ever expand!

STEP 03 • ATOMIC SNAPSHOT & R2 COMPILER (~30 SEC)

Publish Sim Cycle #1 & Master `.lg.tar.gz` Archive

On the right side of OOTP's Online League screen (Online League Functions), click Upload league files & Create/upload reports, or push your update via the Web Sync Companion. LeagueCloud compiles an immutable continental-bba_c1.db (?mode=ro) snapshot and stages your `.lg.tar.gz` on Cloudflare R2 with $0 egress.

Test Presigned Cloudflare R2 Master Archive Initiation

STEP 04 • SIGNALR LEAGUEOPSHUB & IN-GAME IMPORT (~30 SEC)

Verify the 30-Team GM Export Grid & “Import All Teams from Server”

When any GM clicks Export Team via FTP inside OOTP, the chrooted FTPS gateway verifies team_<id>.ootp, computes its SHA-256 digest, and broadcasts ExportReceived over SignalR in under 1 second. Before running your next sim in OOTP, simply click Import all teams from server on the right-hand Online League Functions panel (or Import all teams from import_export folder for manual files).

Simulate Live FTPS `team_1.ootp` Receipt & SignalR Push
Test end-to-end verification and inspect the live 30-team grid.

STEP 05 • TOKENIZED RBAC & RECRUITING (~60 SEC)

Onboard Front Office GMs & Open Recruiting Seats

Bind each human GM to their exact OOTP team_id using 1-click /invite/[token] claim links, share the General Manager Tutorial tab on this page, or publish vacant franchises to /recruiting with verified SQLite payroll and farm rank metrics.

Manage All GMs →
STEP 06 • 14 ANALYTICAL HUBS & SMART-EMBEDS (~30 SEC)

Launch Your 14 Broadcast Hubs & Publish Frozen Smart-Embed Lore

Your Online League is ready for Opening Day! Because you set Reports URL to https://leaguecloud.io/l/continental-bba/hub/front-page in Step 2, clicking OOTP Menu → Open League Website inside the game opens your live LeagueCloud Broadcast Hub. Every post in your League Lore Stream freezes live SQLite cards to the exact sim cycle so historical recaps never suffer screenshot rot.
