Staffing Up!

AdminSports believes in opportunities and we've extended a learning and developing opportunity for two individuals who will be joining us for the summer. In addition, we have brought on a new full-time staff member.

Cit W.

Cit recently graded from Keene State College with a degree in Computer Science and joined the AdminSports team. She comes to us with a knowledge of the Content Management System we use for ATLAS products and is well versed in the data management and programming concepts we use on a daily basis. Cit will be working primarily with the development team in creating new functionality and services for our registration and client based products.

James T.

James recently graduated at the top of his class and will be attending UMass Lowell in the Fall. James sought us out and presented some of his iPhone development work. We've asked James to join us this Summer to share his knowledge of mobile application development. In particular we are evaluating the potential use of iPhone mini-applications, like referee reporting, coach reports and potentially registration.

Vladic L.

Vladic is a student exploring various career opportunities, he expressed a passion in Technology and we plan to expose him to the many facets of technology while working as an intern at AdminSports. Vladic is already excited to be collaborating with James (see below) on completing an iPhone application.

Please join us in welcoming all of our new temporary and permanent staff members.

Opt-Out added to blast emails

We have receved a lot of spam reports by some of our families for legitimate club emails. It makes no sense but people are doing it anyway. It may only be 3 or 4 reports a day out of 25,000 emails but Comcast, AOL, Verizon, Roadrunner and others react to it, sometimes slowing our email down.

To help us combat this, please do not send out emails from sponsors. These are commercial emails and must be labeled as such along with an opt-out. 

We have added this info to all of our blast emails:

Parents may now login and click on update family info to opt out of all blast emails. Registrars may also use this tool.

Completed: MA CORI Update for Social Security Numbers

Massachusetts clubs collecting information for the CORI process must now collect the last 6 digits of the volunteer's social security number.

Registrars must turn on the "Include SSN field" checkbox in the Modify Club Data menu (Club Maintenance).

When the volunteer informaiton appears, there will be a request for the last 6 digitis of their social security number. It is required and must be 6 digits to proceed.

The new CORI download for MA iCori submission is the last menu item in the downloads menu. Please start using for the 2012-2013 year.

If you need help, email Support@AdminSports.com. 

Blast Email Software Upgrade

AdminSports is a high volume email provider for our member clubs and organizations. While individually you may not be sending many emails, as a collective group - we process anywhere from 10,000 to as many as 100,000 emails PER DAY.

As time has passed, organizations that handle email for your recipients, like AOL and Comcast, have increased the requirements to deliver email. Recently we realized that many emails to AOL recipients were NOT being delivered. Further research revealed that when we sent emails from AOL users, AOL will not accept them.

Now, when the sender has an AOL.COM account, we automatically change the outbound email address to webmaster@adminsports.net. Admin Users with AOL.com email accounts should read the next MOTD and refer to the email we sent directly to you.

All other emails will be sent from Your Club Name <your club email address). Becasue of the software upgrade, your emails will have faster delivery and there should be less bouncebacks.

AOL email address cannot be used to send blast email and other changes

We have identified the reason for a slowdown in the outgoing blast email queue. It was using an AOL email address to send email to other AOL addresses.

AOL will not allow an email sent from outside their system to another AOL email account. The emails get stuck in our outgoing email queue and eventually may or may not be delivered. To solve the problem, we request that those of you with AOL accounts use a different email account to access our administrative software.

If you have an Admin Sports (ATLAS) website, we can create a url specific email address for you, similar to role@yourclubname.org.

If you have a Gmail, Yahoo, Mac or almost any other account, you should use that. If you don't have one, you should login to Google mail (Gmail) or the like and create an email similar to yourclubhere@gmail.com or similar. We can help if you need it.

To change your email, look at the menu on the lower left with your name and click on My Account. Click Edit.

Our new code is using our webmaster email account in place of AOL to make sure the emails go through. The reply to address is correct on these emails.

You may notice the the sender's email was temporarily changed from your name <your email address> to AdminSports <your email address>. This has been corrected.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

New - Merge Coaches

We have released the Merge Coaches program. This is used to combine multiple instances of one person.

For instructions, choose Merge Coaches in the tutorial menu or just click here.


Update - Bulk Emailer for Rosters - Now sent from login email address

We have released the new Bulk Roster Emailer. Instead of opening each team to email rosters to team officails, we now have bulk emailing directly from the Team Management Console.

Updated April 9 - The sender is now the email address of the person logged in, not the club email address.

Step 1 - Go to Team Management and search for teams by season. 

Step 2 - Select the roster checkbox for the teams you want to receive rosters.  If you want all, click the roster checkbox at the top of the column. 

Step 3. Click the Email Roster button.

This dialog will appear. Select the boxes for all of the rosters you are sending. If your league participates in our email roster program, select the proper box, in this case travel teams' rosters will be automatically sent to the correct BAYS division directors. Fill in the optional message and Submit.

Team Rollover and Registered Player Rollover Added

Instructions for Rolling over a team and optionally, players, are in the Tutorial Menu on the left. You can delete a team and roll it over again, this time with registered players.

Or, click here.

US Lacrosse Validation now available

Lacrosse programs may include membership validation with US Lacrosse prior to registration. Please contact support for more information.

How does this work? When a family clicks on registration, we compare the name, birthdate and zip code with the US Lacrosse database and within seconds they will either proceed with registration or see this error message.
