I was wondering if anyone had walk-up signups with their one day / two day tournaments, and if so what has been the most efficient way of doing so with Imleagues.com? we are looking at possibly trying it to do it, in order increase number of our participants. we usually have them sign up on Imleagues.com a few days before the tournament so that we have the brackets and games scheduled before hand.
Thanks,
Nick Horton
At UDMercy we do something like that. I have registration open the entire semester. So teams can sign up on IMleagues. I also allow teams to play if they walk up. I don't usually have the brackets set up until the time of the tournament, so will usually either do them by hand or take several minutes and add the teams via IMleagues. I have found that it works pretty well, but the downfall is that if you don't put them into IMleagues your participation number will be off.
At Stephen F. Austin we allow walk-ups to register up to 30 min before the event as well as semester long registration on IMLeagues. We keep a variety of blank brackets that can be filled out according to the number of teams/ participants for each tournament. The next day we transfer everything over to IMLeagues in the office.
