IMPORTANT- PLEASE READ... Change to Process re: Game Reporting
Hello All BGL Team Head Caches, Managers, Member Reps, and BGL Executive,
As many of you are aware there have been issues (glitches) with GAMESHEET reporting. The BGL Member Reps and Board decided that for Session 2 only certain fields would need to be completed. The revised game reporting instructions were emailed and posted to the website. Since the start of Session 2, there continues to be issues as it appears the system requires goal detail entry to properly complete the sections of penalties and goaltending time. Therefore, I have received countless emails from numerous teams asking for assistance. However, I simply do not have the human resources to cope and manage the personal communication required. I thank you for your patience and understanding with this year’s pilot of the Ramp gamesheet reporting capabilities. It is with that being said, I have decided a CHANGE TO PROCESS must occur immediately. Teams will be required to ONLY complete the following mandatory game reporting requirements as instructed below. It must also be noted that any emails sent to the BGL Statistician address within the past 2 weeks regarding game reporting issues will not be responded to. The following game reporting instructions will apply to all 2016-2017 SESSION 2 games.
WHEN GAME IS OVER
The HOME MANAGER uploads the gamesheet information (as described below) and the hard copy game sheet on the RAMP website with in 24hrs. You can also complete this from your phone or computer by going to Ramp Login site and using your team's manager log-in and password.
***ONLY COMPLETE THE MANDATORY SECTIONS AND FIELDS AS DESCRIBED BELOW***
- Click Games
- Locate the correct game and click the Game-sheet
- Click Final tab - input final score - click Game is Finished, then Submit
- Click Upload Files tab - Upload Game sheets. Simply Browse your drive to select the scanned image and then upload. Be sure to select the type of upload as well. This is for uploading a copy of the game sheet. You can also supply any notes to the upload. RAMP will not accept file names that use any symbols. Game-Sheets CANNOT have the following special characters in the file name, otherwise the file will be corrupted. UNUSABLE File Name Characters - ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) Suggestion of file names: game sheet 89. You can also upload a photo of the game sheet that you have taken on your phone, using your library. Uploaded game sheets must be clear and legible, otherwise you will be asked to upload again.
The VISITING TEAM MANAGER needs to verify within 48 hours, that the information on the website is correct according to the paper game sheet they received after the game.
- Click Games
- Locate the correct game and click the Verify button
- When the home team has inputted the score and gamesheet upload, it is the visiting teams job to ensure that the score and gamesheet upload are correct by changing the Verification Status. It will show Pending Verification. If all looks correct then change the status to Verified. If there are errors, then change it to There are Errors. Any discrepancies can be documented in the notes and the home team is to rectify. Nothing can vary from the official game sheet. Send the HOME Team Manager an email asking them to address the errors.
- Once it has been changed the visiting manager needs to verify the game. Please recheck frequently to see if the changes have been made. If errors are not being corrected in a timely manner, please contact the BGL Statistician.
Thank you,
