All As people seem to be well aware - a player playing at Tour 0 should be a paying member of the UKUA. This is a requirement and players/teams that fail to do this run the risk of penalties and sanctions. I have just enabled (for Tour 0) a new feature of the website that is aimed at helping us track members and rosters; and hopefully help team captains track the membership status of their team members that are playing at UKUA events. THIS IS A TRIAL. It is NOT a requirement to use this feature for TOUR 0. There will be NO penalty for not using this feature. There will be no penalty for making a mistake in using this feature. I am only sending this to Britdisc and not attempting to make sure we get blanket coverage to every team captain at Tour 0. I have deliberately left it late before turning it on because lots of people are still joining this week! If you have time/energy to try this out it will help us work out how to implement it in a way that is effective and helpful for future tournaments. It works like this... (I hope) :-) THIS IS ONLY FOR OPEN TEAMS GOING TO TOUR 0 (at the moment). Go to the event page on the website: http://www.ukultimate.com/2007/03/30/ukua_tour_tour_0 Right at the bottom of the page you will see a link to "Send invites: to members of <<TEAM>> or to a site member" It might be that you only see these if you are a team captain/manager/administrator. If you are team captain/administrator (its your name on the team webpage on the UKUA site) please click on the "invite members of team". If you are NOT team captain and can see these links - please don't click them! (I will try to find out why you can even see them!) You team members will then receive an email inviting them to go to the event. They can click on a link to say "yes". If they do - the website will build a list of your team mates that are going to the tournament. In particular - and a few people have asked for more info about this - this list tells the team captain what the membership status is for all their players that are intending to play. PLEASE DO NOT SAY YES IF YOU ARE NOT GOING. If you are a member of more than one team/club (many people are) - then just accept the invitation for the team with which you are playing at Tour 0. Team captains, the TD and I will then get access to a report (downloadable in Excel) that provides some details (including membership status) about who is on the roster. NB - I'm afraid it doesn't have "Firstname Lastname" yet - sorry. Thanks in advance if you get the chance to try this out. If you run into problems please feel free to give up! If it takes too long please feel free to give up. Our intention is that in the future this will become a standard way of handling rosters and checking membership at UKUA events - but its going to take a few events to get all the issues out. Feedback on the process and any bugs is very welcome. Politeness appreciated ;-) Si
