*Website Management

The webmaster is in charge of maintaining our A2ultimate homepage, by updating links for leagues, sidebar information, and announcements, as well as updating the sites for league hat tournaments and our annual disc design contest. This job also involves setting up league registrations, creating the league schedules and team email lists, and helping resolve registration problems. Some knowledge of website maintenance, HTML code, or other programming would be beneficial but definitely not essential.

Initial League Setup previous to the league being announced to the general public:

1. Set up league at http://a2ultimate.org/admin/ under Leagues

A. Ideally edit previous season that resembles new season, and Save as New to expedite setup. Season night and season names should be in lower-case, i.e. sunday summer. Make sure to update Year and pick the correct Gender dropdown (co-ed, competitive, open, hat tourney etc.).

B. Edit league data, include various dates and deadlines, baggage and player cap, Waitlist Date, Summary, Detailed and Payment Address Information. Make sure the captains meeting time gets updated in the Detailed Information.

C. Set Price (Paypal and Check). Make sure to increase both prices by the appropriate amount (normally $10) after the early payment deadline is reached.

D. Assign/Add Fields

E. Move league into Planning status for review by Junta members, and then Active when ready and league registration announced.

2. Link league on a2ultimate.org page side bar and top bar, using a Secure FTP program like WinSCP (PC) or Fugu (MAC) to download and edit /public_html/index.php.

League Set up after teams have been formed:

3. When teams are formed, set up e-mail addresses for the league day, captains, and each team. http://lists.a2ultimate.org/mailman/listinfo to add players to list.

4. Link the team e-mail addresses to the team page by logging into a2ultimate.org and then going to My Account, then click the + next to the appropriate year/league. You will need to update after adding each address.

5. Create schedule at http://a2ultimate.org/admin by editing league, and checking Add/Change Schedule. Check the appropriate fields and select Build Schedule. Be cognizant of split-location leagues, making sure to pick the right fields.

6. (Optional, but recommended) Delete older team and league mailing lists (2 seasons or older) at http://lists.a2ultimate.org/mailman/listinfo and making sure to preserve non-season lists, such as Announcement and Junta.
