In addition to setting yourself upon the website to enter scores, new captains should familiarize themselves with the league rules and statement of sportsmanship under the Organization
menu. |
If you're a new captain (or even if you're not and want a refresher) you'll have a few items to take care of on the web site.
Before you begin, you should first read through the FAQ page under the Help Menu.
These items should answer most of your questions, but in case you're not sure, here
are some additional instructions.
Steps for Entering Scores
To enter your scores, you must complete two basic steps:
1. You must be registered.
2. You must assign yourself as a captain or co-captain.
You must complete both of these steps in order to enter scores!
Registration
To register, select Register from the Captains' Activities menu. Before you
add yourself, make sure you're not already registered. If you find yourself,
please do not add yourself a second time. Again, do not add yourself multiple
times. If you find yourself listed more
than once, refer to the FAQ on how to remove additional listings. If you find
yourself, but don't remember your login information, you do not need to contact us, as the web site can email your
information right to your email address.
If you no longer have access to
the email address listed on the web site, that is the only reason you will need
to contact us, since you won't be able to fetch
the email sent by the web site. If that is the case, use the "Ask a Question" under the Help
menu to contact us and give us your new email address. We will
change it to your new address and assign a new password. Once we do that you
will be able to retrieve your new password.
If you're replacing another captain, please do not use their login. This will
just complicate things. Do not worry about removing them from the system, as this
will be taken care of by the website. Just register anew.
Assign yourself as a Captain
Once you have registered on the web site, you will then be able to go to the next
step: assigning yourself as a captain. To do this, you'll have to first login
by clicking on the Login button above and entering your login id and password.
Then find your team on the "Team List" page under the "Team Info" menu. Click
on the "Edit" link and select yourself from the list of captains. Click the
"Save" link and you're now ready to enter scores!
Entering Scores
Once you've completed the above steps, use the "Enter Scores" page under the "Captains'
Activities" menu. Remember that you can enter scores only for your home matches.
Once you've found your match, click the "Click Here To Enter Your Score" link, and this
will make the page editable. Once you've entered your matches, click "Save"
to record them to the site. If you make a mistake, you have up to 7
days after the match to edit the scores entered. After 7 days only you division
secretary can edit the scores.
Entering Match Details
Captains in Division I and Division II in the Open League, and captains in Division
1 in the Masters League, must enter the number of matches they have won and must also
enter match details of the players names. Remember, all captains must keep
track of match details anyway, so if you choose to do it on paper or on the web
site, that's up to you, but if you're in Division I or II Open or Division 1
Masters, you must do it on the web site
too. Captains in Division III and IV are encouraged to also enter match details.
We've placed a handy score sheet on the "Enter Scores" page for you to download
and print, to make it easier to record this information. To make it easier
to enter the players, you can create a list of your teammates. You'll still
have the option to type in a player's name if they're not a regular player, but
it makes sense to enter your regulars. Enter your players on the same page
as you enter designated players.
The match details are not currently linked to the match scores. If you just
enter the match details, the site will not automatically figure out how many matches
or points won, and who got the tie-breaker. You are going to have to enter
both the match details and scores separately. Match details, like match scores,
can be edited for 7 days following the match.
Unlike entering scores, any captain or co-captain from the home or away team can
enter match details. This is primarily so that, if you're in Division III
or IV, where it's not required, you can still enter your information.
Entering Rosters and Designated Players
All captains with multiple teams must designate 8 players for the Open League and
6 for the Masters League for all but the lowest ranked team. In other words, if your club has 3 teams, only
the 1 and 2 teams need to have designated players. You must enter your designated
players on the "Enter Team Roster" under the "Captains'
Activities" menu.
If you need to remove or change a designated player, you must contact your division
secretary -- only they have the ability to do this. If they are not
a designated player, and just a member of your team, you will be able to manage
your roster on your own.
Secretaries
If you're a secretary, your login gives you special privileges. You
do not need a separate login. If you are a secretary but do not see yourself
listed as such, please notify us using the "Ask A Question" form. |
