Join the Kinda Good Fun on Exhibition Court # 70 Friday 11 am, 1 pm & 4 pm Saturday 11 am A COACHES MUST DO: Enter Your Team Results Deadline is March 18th These instructions apply to all paid teams - accepted and waiting list. The results must be accurate and complete. If your results are not accurate and complete, your seed will be negatively affected. The year’s Big South will be seeded using a computer seeding program. It is extremely important that you enter the correct 11 character team code for each team you play. Check with your local region to obtain codes for teams the in your region or tournament directors for out of region teams. If you enter incorrect team codes that match will be ignored by the seeding program. The seeding program looks at region strength, club strength and win/loss record, both against teams in the Big South fields, and older or younger opponents. Therefore, you MUST enter all results, not just those from your age division. If you do not enter any results, your team will be seeded at the bottom. Its simple -- no results means a low seed regardless of how good the reason is that you have no results. There is no way to adjust the program to recognize statements about why you don't have results. Finally, submitting incomplete or false results is considered the same as submitting a falsified registration and is subject to USAV disciplinary actions. Here are quick instructions on how to enter results in STP: 1. Log on to your account in www.signuptoplay.com 2. Select "TEAMS" 3. Select your team you want to add results for. 4. Select "RESULTS" 5. Select "ADD A MATCH." Fill in the fields. 6. Enter only MATCH wins/losses. Do not enter individual game wins/losses. www.bigsouth.us
