Assigning Levels

This is very important!.

The level you call your groups is the prefix to the auto assign teams.

So, If you call your K level Muppets, please simply use the Level Prefix of M

The auto assign teams function will take this prefix, M, and make the first team a M-1 etc etc

Assigning Levels

When assigning levels please remember that the level entered will be the prefix to your teams using the Auto Assign teams feature. You do not need to seperate it between boys and girls as the Auto Assign teams features does that automatically.

Please do not use $(the dollar sign) or .00(decimal zero cents) when entering in the price.

Does your organization use this grade

If your group uses all of the grades listed below, then the words We Use should be seen here.
The words We Don't Use should be next to those grades that you do not use.

Simply click on 'We Use' or 'We Don't Use' to change this.

Maximum Fee Per family

If your organization has a max fee per family, enter it here.

If no such fee exists, please enter as 0

Travel Question

If your organization offers a travel program choose yes and during the registration process, children above the K level will be asked if they would like to participate in travel. This does not guarantee them a spot and it does tell them that. It only places them on a list for travel tryouts.

They are not required to pay at the end.

New Camps

This is where you will enter any camps that your organization offers.

Session times can be entered as dates or times or days or a combination of all three.

Limit is the number of kids that can register for this camp. If there is no limit, set it at 100.
If the limit has been hit and someone attempts to register, it tells them that registration is closed.
The large box at the bottom is for your description of the camp.

View by Camps/Session

Here you can view the kids that have registered by camp and by sessions

View by Camps/Session

Choose the session you wish to view registrations by

Assigning Levels

This is VERY Important. The levels you assign will be used in the auto assign teams function. This is confusing so stay with me....

The system will automatically split boys and girls into their proper category, you do not need to do so. So if your first grade level is U8 simply assign all first graders to U8, not U8Boys/Girls or any such combination.

The system will automaticaly take all U8 Boys and assign them to U8B-1 and then U8B-2 etc etc. Then it will do exactly the same for the girls except it will use U8G-1

Granting Refunds

There will be occassions to grant refunds to players. You will have to mark these players as refunded in the system. This removes them from an teams they may be assigned to.

AutoAssigning Teams

THIS IS A VERY POWERFUL AND POTENTIALLY DANGERS TOOL

This feature takes all new players and places them on existing teams.

Emailing Attachments

SMDSPORTS.COM IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ATTACHMENTS SENT OUT WITH VIRUSES! PLEASE SCAN ALL DOCUMENTS BEFORE YOU SEND THEM OUT, OR CRANKY PEOPLE WILL BE SENT BY SMDSPORTS.COM BACK TO YOU.

Additional Activity Fee

Should your organization charge any additional fees, such as fundraiser fee, here is where you would assign it.

Max Activity Fee

If you charge a max fee per family, say if there are three kids but you only charge this fee for two, you would set this to the max fee.

BIG TIME WARNING!!!

If you remove this sport, you WILL lose all data accompanying this sport.
If you do not wish to use this sport at this time, simply deactiveate it.

What is this?

If you use more than one sport, but not year round, you can choose to deactivate any sport and not have to pay for it. You will still be able to administer to it, but the public will not be able to see it. You will only be charged for active websites.

YOU CANNOT DEACTIVATE THE DEFAULT WEBSITE! This is a damn good website for such little cash, you have to pay at least something for it :)

Any abuse of this system will result in all sports being charged at all times. Abuse being defined as turning on and off so the public can get information but you dont have to pay when your month is up :)

What is this?

Some organizations have leagues within their levels with each league paying a different price.
So, say level/division U8 has an A and B league under it with each league paying a different price, you will use this feature.

What is this?

This will allow you to more quickly enter payments. Simply click on yes and the player will be marked as paid and an email will be sent out with this information.

Individual URL's

will cost an additional $5.00 a month. This money does not go to SMDSports, rather it is a charge from the hosting company.

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly...who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt

Testimonials

2009

Thanks for the great tournament. While we didnt win a game, we played well most of the time and grew as a team. Brad Wittenborn - Cape Notre Dame - (Cape Girardeau, MO.)

Another great event! Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this event. We look forward to coming back in 2010. Bill Vieth - Evansville Memorial - (Evansville, IN)

For the second year SJB has been able to attend the Classic and it has been a pleasure for us on all counts. Your hard work is very evident in both the organization of the tournament and quality of competition. Travelling to Illinois has given us the ability create memories for our boys for the rest of their lives and we thank you for providing us with such a great atmosphere in which to do so. Thank you again for another great year! Tom Burke - St. John the Baptist Diocesan High School - (West Islip, NY)

Thanks again for putting together a great event! Looking forward to coming back in 2010.
Paul Vignocchi - Glenbrook North High School (Northbrook, IL.)

I enjoyed the tournament immensely; I think that it was very organized, put on in a professional manner, and afforded the student-athletes an excellent chance to showcase their talents. Brian M. Barnett

Assistant Soccer Coach & Recruiting Coordinator - Bradley University

Congratulations once again for putting on a first-class Tournament. Everything ran smoothly and the competition was keen. The many hours that you put into this event was rewarded with another outstanding Tournament. The fact that Sheldon Shealer of ESPN Rise was there speaks volumes about the national significance of this event. It is a great opportunity to play teams from outside of our area and to compete with the best from across the United States. The level of play and the sportsmanship of the player and coaches was very high throughout the games. You have done a great job in bringing quality teams to this event and we appreciate being a part of it.Special thanks to Dale Schilly and his staff for the use of their facilities. It is nice to be able to have many of the games at the same venue to be able to watch the teams that are in the other brackets. Looking forward to being part of the 2010 Tournament

Terry Michler - CBC -- St. Louis

2008

Thanks to you, your staff and all the volunteers for another great tourney. We know we will have the opportunity to compete against some of the best teams in the Nation and it is a great measuring tool as we begin the final run to post season play. I know I speak for a lot of coaches as we talk after a hard fought match that win or loses our kids will be better prepared for play off time. Many thanks. Jeff Rogers - Glendale High (Springfield, MO.)

What an experience for myself and my guys! The sportsmanship, the respect and the play from the three teams we faced was outstanding. We learned a great deal about ourselves and the way we play. The referees were excellent, the tournament nothing but first class, we can only hope we are able to make the trip in 2009. We can't thank you enough for the invitation. Best of luck to you and Mr. Longo on the rest of the season, you guys have a great team that caused us fits, it was fun to play you guys! - Scott Masini - Hudson High (Hudson WI)

thanks for a great weekend of hs soccer at its best. on behalf of my team and school, we were very honored to have been invited to your tournament and played as well as we could to display our talents. per my conversation with you, we would very much like to return, and hopefully, play similar opponents. Chelo Curry - Cheery Creek High (Greenwood Village, CO)

Another fantastic event we appreciate the invite. We look forward to returning in 2008. Thanks again and great job. It is of hell-of-an-event. Bill Vieth - Reitz Memorial (Evansville, IN.)

Great tournament Eric, once again you have made this a super event. Jim Johns - Neuqua Valley (Naperville, IL.)

Once again, a huge success! We had a great experience seeing different teams
that are well coached with skilled players. The tournament was well organized
and the fields were great! Can't wait to come back next year. Paul Vignocchi - Glenbrook North (Northbrook, IL.)

Thank you for all of your work with the tournament. We had a great trip and enjoyed the level of competition we had -- it was a great preparation for the rest of our season. Brian Wood - Grandview High (Aurora, CO)

Once again, congrats on pulling off a super Tournament. It takes a ton of work to do this and you need to know that it is greatly appreciated. Seldom do you have a chance to measure your team against the best from other areas, but this Tournament allows you to do that. The level of competition and the spirit of cooperation was great and the players will remember this as a special soccer experience as they continue in their soccer journey. Thanks again to the weather committee for providing sunshine and blue skies. Keep them around and give them a bonus !! It was especially nice to see that Sheldon Shealer of ESPN found it necessary to be at the Tournament, in person, to get a first-hand look at the caliber of teams - that says a lot about how important and valued it has become. We are looking forward to returning next year. Special thanks to Dale Schilly for the use of his facility. Please extend our thanks and appreciation to all those who helped to make this a special event. Terry Michler CBC coach, St. Louis, Mo.

You ran a very good tourney this year it was smooth. Thanks for another great experience. We are looking forward to next year. Craig Ewing - St. Thomas Aquinas (Overland Park, KS.)

We highly respect you, your team (Quincy) and the tournament you put on. It was by far the best sportsmanship of any tournament that we have attended. - Scott Masini (Hudson High - Hudson, WI)

Your tournament has helped our program immensely find our strengths and weaknesses. We seem to learn more when we lose than when we win. Thank you on behalf of our program and all of those coaches and teams who have improved by taking part in your tournament and who may or may not have recognized it or taken time to thank you. I know you love what you do but in so many ways if coaches look carefully at the competition they face in your tournament they will be able to become a better team regardless of their outcome. I can assure you we spent more time defending re-starts after our loss to St. John the Baptist. Our program truly believes that we use our regular season schedule to prepare us for what we face in November. It doesnt guarantee we will win a title year in and year out but it does give our kids confidence knowing they have faced the best teams in the city, state, region and country by playing great teams over two months. -

Chris Lawson - Rockhurst Jesuit - Kansas City, MO.

Thanks for putting on such a great tournament. The kids had a wonderful time.

Scott Carter (Davis, CA. Parent)

2007 Event

The Coaches of Quincy High School have organized the Quincy High Soccer Classic the past three years and have built the classic up to 28 of the top high school teams from across the nation to compete. It is one of the elite showcase tournaments around and not only generates interest from premier schools, programs & college coaches from across the nation it generates a great deal of economic revenue for the greater Quincy Community. What stands out about the coaches of Quincy High is they epitomize the two key terms for anyone seeking to be successful 'passion & commitment'. Their passion for soccer and bringing high level soccer to Quincy is clear. Their ability to communicate and pay attention to the smallest detail makes the experience for every high school not just a soccer experience but a cultural and sportsmanship like experience. They promote t-shirt exchanges, & team dinners their team hosts for guest teams to promote interaction and fellowship. I have never met a a group of coaches more passionate about running a tournament the right way. They are extremely proud of Quincy soccer and it's tradition and represent Quincy in the proudest and most professional manner. They are an advocate for the community, for high school soccer and the lessons it brings to those participating.

They are thoughtful and considerate in recognizing the successful traditions of opposing teams. They are motivated by their passion for soccer and in doing so, it has helped numerous high school students get recognized for soccer scholarships, promote friendships and respect among nationally recognized programs and has helped the Quincy community through direct economic benefits (hotels, restaurants, etc) to the community. Their primary motivation was their passion for soccer but in the end it had several distinct benefactors. It has been a win-win situation for everyone involved. Organizing the logistics, officials, concessions, volunteers and sponsors for a tournament of this magnitude takes great vision and leadership. It was quite evident last week that the organizers were able to bring the community together to put on a first class event. The sports section of last week's newspaper showcased each team involved and did a stand up job of promoting the sport of soccer and the players and coaches who are committed to the ideals of excellence, sportsmanship, and team camaraderie. From start to finish the coaches are involved. Any school district or professional would be fortunate to have coach's of this quality and character.

Chris Lawson - Head Soccer Coach - Rockhurst Jesuit High School

thanks for a great weekend you run the best tourney!!! Craig Ewing - St. Thomas Aquinas

Thanks for putting on a first class event!! And, for letting us be a part of it!! We had an awesome experience!! Everyone down here will get rave reviews from me on your event!

Thanks again. Lee Horton - The Latin School - Charlotte, NC.

Great event Eric, I really do not know how you could make it better. Jim Johns - Neuqua Valley High - Naperville, IL

I want to thank you for an unbelievable weekend. The level of soccer was brilliant and the organization was first class. I would also like to mention how pleased we were with the hotel, the restaurants and everyone else we came across. You have obviously done a great job in getting the community to get behind this tourney. We are already looking forward to next year. I think this tourney has put us in a great situation for our playoffs.

Sam Tojaga - Erie Cathedral Prep - Erie, PA.

Thank YOU! It was a lot of work, but it all came off great. Overall, I thought the officiating was more than adequate considering all the games and levels. I was happy with how we stacked up against some pretty good teams. Perhaps, because I agree that this is certainly the premier tournament in the central US (if not , the whole US)

Ken Burghy - Middleton High - Middleton, WI.

Great job with this year's tournament. Chris Digirolamo - Collinsville High - Collinsville, IL.

Eric thank you again for the invite and we would love to come to the event next year if we are invited back. I thought it was very well ran and the oppertunity for these players to play in a big time tournament against the best HS teams in the nation is great. Thanks again and we will keep in touch, thanks for everything again.

Nick and Victor Arbelaez - Bishop Gorman High - Las Vegas, NV.

You have done a great job again. Thanks. We plan on coming back again next year. We already have rooms reserved. My team and I thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition games. (Great Call) Tom Doyle - Cape Central - Cape Girardeau, MO.

I would like to thank you for the opportunity to play in your tournament. My complements to you on the total experience that you gave all the teams. The competition was top notch. The games were well scheduled and officiated. The fields were good. And the ball boys did an outstanding job!The people involved with the tournament and the people of Quincy were gracious hosts. Our team, Bishop Gorman High School from Las Vegas, benefitted from the high quality of competition and the style of play which we hope that the boys will build upon. Once again, outstanding job by your team and city and much thanks. Jay Vaccaro - Parent of Bishop Gorman High - Las Vegas, NV

Thanks for having us in the tournament !! We enjoyed the opportunity to play the teams we did and to see some of the other games as well. Please extend our thanks and appreciation to all those who helped in any way to pull it off, especially the person in charge of weather definitely have that person on board for next year. I thought the referees were good, the first 2 we had in the middle were very good. I thought they did very well and I wanted to write a good letter to the State on his behalf. Terry Michler - Christian Brothers College (CBC) - St. Louis, MO

Congratulations on a wonderful weekend. Todd Bretz - Dunbar High - Lexington, KY.

Thank you again for everything you did not only for De Smet but for all the teams visiting Quincy this past weekend.We definitely want to be a part of the program next year. Greg Vitello - DeSmet Jesuit - Creve Coeur, MO.
