What To Do If Your Opponent Cancels And You Still Want To Play

posted by Administrator 06/10/2010 09:06:35

Many of you contact me for help on finding replacement opponents when a scheduled opponent cancels out. Unfortunately, I don't know any better than you who is looking to add a game on any particular date. But, the website provides you with an incredible tool for this very purpose. This is probably the most underutilized feature of the website. And it is VERY EASY to use. And it provides you with multiple capabilities.

STEP 1 - Go there and check the Game Board.

CLICK HERE TO GO THERE NOW

The Game Board is a list of all teams actively seeking games on specific dates, sorted by date.

If there are lots of game requests on the board, click Search and it will retrieve all requests that match the criteria you specify in terms of opponent age and competition level as well as date and home field availability. You can include ranges too e.g., 15 HiSilver thru 16 Gold.

STEP 2 - If there are no matches from STEP 1, add your own request to the Game Board by clicking, you guessed it, ADD REQUEST.

STEP 3 - SEARCH TEAM/FIELD AVAILABILITY FOR OTHER TEAMS

This search function doesn't search the GAME BOARD, it is far more powerful than that. It searches the scheduling inputs that teams provided to the league prior to scheduling. Not every team was scheduled to play every day it wanted too. This function will find all the teams who said they wanted to play on this date but are not scheduled to do so.

STEP 3A - SEARCH BY DATE

Here you enter the date you wish to play, the range of opponent you seek, and your home field requirement. The computer will return a list of all potential opponents that fit your criteria e.g., 15U Gold opponent on June 15 who has a field available. If you are interested in playing a listed team, click on the team's name to pull up their contact info and call them to see if you can work something out.

STEP 3B - SEARCH BY OPPONENT

Let's say you would like to schedule a game or games with a particular team. You simply tell the computer
what team you would like to play over what date range (can be a single day) and again, it will return a list of all dates when that team is available in that date range. You get to specify home field criteria as well. For example, opponent must have a home field available also.

NOTE: SEARCH BY OPPONENT also is a valuable tool when looking for workable dates for a make-up of a postponed game.
