Using iset.net
iset.net was developed with one end in mind, to simply the
tasks associated with organizing a sporting event. We have broken down the
process into several phases:
Planning for the event
Publishing information about your event and
marketing the event to attracting teams is usually the first task
associated with event planning. This often involves preparing a registration
package and sending to interested teams. With iset.net, this task can be done
in a few quick steps. After registering your organization with iset, simply add
a tournament from the tournament area of the your organization home page. A
wizard prompts you for basic information about the event and creates the event
for you. By default, iset.net does not publish the event to allow you to edit
and add more information including: uploading a tournament logo, adding sponsor
information and logos, venue information, upload tournament documents, and
updating general information.
Defining registration requirements is usually the next step.
This involves defining the information teams will be required to specify when
they register for your event. This includes: team name and roster information
such as player names, positions, coaching staff, etc. Now is the time to
publish your event, at the click of a button, your tournament is made available
to the sporting community through the iset.net site. Note: an Online payment
processing option is availble to qualified organizations.
Teams are now able to register through the site by using a
simple wizard. The wizard prompts the teams for the required information. As
registration requests are completed, their request is queued for the tournament
director in a waitlist. The tournament director may review teams and confirm
their acceptance by changing the status of their request to confirmed. At this
time, the system optionally prompts you to notify the team of their acceptance.
Creating and refining Schedules is simple. Either define a
simple schedule using iset's scheduling wizard, copy a schedule from a
template, other manually create a complex schedule. Scheduling includes
defining a draw and a competitions schedule. Schedules may be linked so that
competitors can be moved to a new schedule based on their standings. Once
completed, the tournament director can then publish the schedule for the
participants or the schedule may be exported in MS excel format for use in
other programs.
At any time, the tournament director can use iset.net's communication tools to
communicate with the participants. This includes the news feature
that allows the director to pass on news articles to the public. Also, the email
utility lets the tournament director send emails to all registered teams.
Game Day
Its game day and you are well prepared. Your schedule is
available to the participants and spectators. As a tournament director, you can
delegate the task of recording results as they occur. From
courtside, convenors can enter scores immediately as they occur or after the
game is complete and there is no need to publish information to the web since
you are using a web tool. Results are automatically recorded and standings are
updated. Results are presented to the tournament director for approval. (until
the results are approved, results are flagged as unofficial).
iset.net also offers convenor messaging. This
allows tournament directors and convenors to communicate back and forth during
the event.
Final standings for each schedule must be
manually set by the tournament director in order to handle custom tie breaking
procedures. After standings are defined, teams are moved into the next round of
the tournament automatically by the tool.
