[Neultimate] Report Scores and Update Teams on UPA website

[David Thompson]

Hello everyone,

(This started out as an e-mail to just the NEPSUL, but since there is so
much overlap in leagues...)

The New England High School Ultimate season seems to be just out of the
starting gates, and this is a great time to check your team's information on
the UPA website.

Rodney Jacobson, of Hanover NH, created and maintains a great score
reporter, tournament seeder, and national ranking tool. It can be found in
the upper right hand corner of the UPA home page, or here:
http://www4.upa.org/scores/scores.cgi?div=121&page=2

This is a great way to find other teams to play, and advertise tournaments.
More importantly, it can be a very useful resource when seeking more support
from your school administration: it is easy to show how many teams there are
in the state and nation, and for many administrators, it is helpful to see
that there are rankings for the sport of ultimate (i.e; it is competitive,
and people take it seriously).

However, in order to work, everyone needs to make sure that their team is
listed (and has up-to-date contact information). Also, following each game,
one of the coaches/captains needs to enter the score.

If you are running a tournament, it should be listed on the site as well. If
everyone is reporting scores, it will help you seed the tournament, which is
better than guessing.

The help files are, well, helpful, as far as setting up the tournament on
line, and can be found here: http://www4.upa.org/scores/instructions.html

Note: In order to be able to enter scores and team information, you need to
be a UPA member and have a password for the website.

So, a collective cheer for Rodney for providing this great feature, and
we'll see you all out on the fields!

Dave
