This week the registration for the Thursday 18 Hole League was a bit of a mess. Beginning next week please adhere to the following.
- If you register yourself or a group for a tee time and you see it is already taken (mostly a concern for those of you who all hit the site exactly at 9:30am each week), edit your registration and change the tee time. Duplicates will be moved to the first open tee time available after everyone else is placed in their spot.
- If you would like to play with a group having less than 4 players that is already registered, please contact the person who made the registration (first person listed) and ask them to add you to the group – if someone has not already taken it by registering on their own and selecting the tee time.
- Please do not email or text the league admin instead of registering, your request will not be honored. This method not only interferes with my work time, it makes the situation worse because there is there is no visibility to the other members that you sent a text or email requesting a spot, resulting in 5 or 6 people thinking they will have a certain tee time.
- It is acceptable to email or text the league admin (Dave) in the following situations. a) Registration is already closed and you want to add if there is a spot available. b) There is an emergency or some other situation we should know about. 3) Cancelation after registration is closed.
I realize this is an imperfect system and has some built in frustrations. However, the alternative is much worse (sign up individually and I let Bluegolf randomly pair everyone). BlueGolf registration as a group is not an option as it will not allow you to register more than one person unless it is set up as a team event. We tested it, definitely worse than what we have now.
Everyone needs to exercise some advance planning and attention to detail until I have the time to develop a better solution or BlueGolf makes the changes we need to do it through their system.
Thank you very much for your help.
