Creating Teams

You have to use "Teams" to create at least one team prior to attempting to entering an event.

Only teams existing in your club will be displayed in the team list. If you haven't created any teams, no teams will show up in the list.

Some events require you to have a default roster for your team prior to entering events. If this is the case, you will have to use "Teams" to add players to your team roster before entering. If you have problems adding players to your teams, click the "?" and follow the instructions for "Creating your default roster".


Entering Events

Click the "Enter Team" button to enter a team into a tournament.

Select a tournament, team, and tournament division then press "Save".

Once you have added an entry for each team into a tournament, use the "Entry Form" button to print out a tournament entry form. Mail this form and the total amount due to the tournament director to complete your entry.



Printing the Entry Form

Click the "Entry Form" button.

Select the tournament you want to print an entry form for. Select the team you wish to print the entry form for. To print a tournament entry form for all of the teams in your club entered in this event, select "All Teams". To create a tournament entry form for an individual team, select a team from the list.

Press the "Display Form" button.

Once the form is displayed, use your browser's print button to print a copy of the tournament entry form. Make sure to sign the form. Send the form with a check for the total amount to the address given on the bottom of the page. Full payment must accompany your entry form.

When your check has been received by the tournament director, your SignUpToPlay entries will be updated and you will be notified by e-mail that your payment has been received.

Final acceptance of teams into the event will be made by tournament officials, according to USA Volleyball Guidelines.



Viewing Your Entry Status

To view the status of a team's entry into a tournament, click on the row.

When your check has been received by the tournament director, your SignUpToPlay entries will be updated and you will be notified by e-mail that your payment has been received. Your payment will be updated by the event staff when your payment has been received.

Once your tournament entry form and payment have been received by the tournament director you will not be able to delete your entry into this tournament.

To be removed from the event, you will have to contact the tournament director by e-mail ().

Use the Entry Form button to print a tournament entry form for this team.

To change the division of a team, the team must be removed from the tournament (deleted) and re-added using the correct division.



The difference between a "Default Roster" and a "Tournament Roster"

The Default Roster is the roster you build by assigning players to your team in "Teams".

A Tournament Roster is the roster automatically created when you enter a team into an event with "Enter Events".

For example, let’s say you create a team and assign players to your team, creating your default roster. You then decide to enter that team into an event. When you enter the tournament, your default roster gets copied to create the tournament roster for the event. If you decide to remove a player from your tournament roster and add a different player from your club, the changes only affect the tournament roster. That is, the changes do not affect the "Default Roster", they only apply to the particular event's "Tournament Roster"!

To modify your tournament roster, you use the "Enter Events" function from the menu. Then click on the tournament entry for the team you wish to modify. You can use "Add Players" to add players to this tournament roster. You can select the player and then select "Remove" to remove the player from the tournament roster. Modifications made to the tournament roster for this event have no affect on either the "Default Roster" or any other "Tournament Roster".


Paying with PayPal

You can only pay via PayPal if an event is configured to allow PayPal payments.

Once you choose to pay via PayPal by clicking the link, you are taken from Signuptoplay.com to PayPal and you are totally out of our control at that point.

We do however know of a few issues that PayPal has. The biggest problem that a user of PayPal has is with Internet Explorer version 6 and higher. In version 6.0 and higher of Internet Explorer, by default the security settings have been set to reject the "cookies" needed by PayPal. If you have IE Version 6.0 or higher you can fix this by manually overriding the cookie settings. This is done with the following steps:

  1. In Internet Explorer Version 6 & higher select "Tools" then select, "Internet Options"
  2. Select the "Privacy" tab
  3. Select "Advanced"
  4. Click on the box for "Override Automatic Cookie Handling" so that the checkmark shows.
  5. Under First-party Cookies select "Accept"
  6. Under Third-party Cookies select "Accept"
  7. Click on the box for "Always allow session cookies" so that the checkmark shows
  8. Click Ok
  9. Click Ok again
  10. Exit Internet Explorer completely and restart it.
This usually will solve the problem with the Cookies that PayPal sends.

After you are done with your PayPal Session we recommend that you "undo" the above modifications thus resetting your browser back to the default security settings.
