While the PL feature is advertised mainly as a chance to play against your friends, a search tool would definitely be useful. When organizing a league blindly (not knowing the other people), you even need a way to filter out those Supporters whose Supporter package runs out before the league is finished. That is a lot of manual work for the organizer that could be avoided. You could have options like time-zone preferences, "join any league upon request", etc. for all Supporters who are out of PL's to aid the search.

Currently, your best chance is to try federations and PL threads in public forums. You may not be able to find teams in 30 minutes, but organizing a small league (or participating in a league someone else is organizing) should not take more than a couple of days.

I work in the software development field and a feature like this should have been implemented by now


Maybe you can code it and give it to the community for free?

Basically it will probably be easy to code.
The scrimmage search tool may be the base code for that, and instead of testing whether a team already been scheduled to scrimmage, they need to test other factors (is this team is a supporter, can it be invited to PL, etc.).

I agree with you, although I'm not (yet?) a supporter.

Have you tried joining a federation? It´s rather easy to gather a bunch of people with "some" connection to each other, and federations are great places to find those (as they are all supporters anyways).

We had 48 teams in our PL last season and had to turn several away. It is really just a matter of advertising, persistance and organisation.
