Tryouts Pool Management
The Pools tab shows the number of inquiries in each pool. The menu on the right enables various actions on each pool based on the user’s permission.
Users running tryouts can:
- Subscribe as a watcher (or add someone as a watcher with Manage Tryouts permission) to watch various pools which lets them get a daily notification of new inquiries.
- Email all users in a pool.
- Auto-assign numbers to a pool.
- Print check-in form with various form fields.
- Export players in a pool for additional offline data manipulation for flexibility in print formatting / player sorting / emailing, etc.
Add a Watcher
Users Managing tryouts can add themselves or can add others as Watchers. Users Running Tryouts can only add themselves to Tryout Pools. A watcher of a Player pool will receive a daily notification of new inquiries to their subscribed pools. Below is an example.
Email Pool
This option facilitates sending an email via the Byga messaging system to the player contact listed on one Player Pool
Assign Numbers
Rather than adding a number one at a time to players, numbers can be assigned to a Player Pool. If the Override existing player numbers option is not selected, previously assigned numbers are maintained. By using the “Start at” option, additional sorting options can be utilized when sorting by number, e.g., distinguishing new players from existing players.
Print Tryout Check-in Form
The contents of each Player Pool can be printed with the following options:
- Fields - Number used for tryouts - Player name - Contact name - Comments: blank line for evaluator to add some notes - Form fields from the tryout form: New in 3Q2021. This would include data that is important for the coach to have on the field (or important for check in personnel if printing forms for the check in). Review the print format when including custom field data.
- Auto-fill the tryout numbers if numbers are not already assigned
- Define how many rows to include: blank rows can be used for walk-on registrations
- Sort by options: - Number - First Name - Last Name
- Print template: -Default includes comments as a second line per player - Compact (in portrait and landscape) keeps comments on same line to fit more players
Export Pool
Depending on the tryout process used by the club, this printout may be sufficient. For more complex situations, the Player Pools can be exported to a .csv file, filtered, sorted, printed as required via a spreadsheet program.
