The link goes to a pdf file you can download, hopefully most of you are looking on the MyTeam site.
At the moment, the MyTeam site doesn’t show the byes, or allow you to download it – both of which I am working on.
I am also working on processing current payments, results and electronic scoring at the moment – please make sure your team lists are online so we can process all the payments easily.
I have finished the draw for the remainder of the season. Given we had 3 new teams joining this week (1 of them late on Sunday afternoon), it has been quite an effort to get the draw completed and all of the duties balanced as much as possible.
I am updating the MyTeam page with both the Premier League Draw and the Business League Draw but it may be after lunch on Monday before I can get everything working uploaded and working ok.
The draw for this week is available to download.
Downlands have a huge 12 teams in the competition this season, but unfortunately they cannot make it this week, so the draw is a lot smaller as a result!
The draw can also be seen on the Premier League Draw page. (So can the Business League Draw.) Last week it required you to be logged in, and when you were logged in, it looked pretty ordinary on a mobile phone. This has been fixed now and it would be great if people could check it out and let me know if your phone has a problem displaying the draw. Hint: Swiping left and right can change the current round and the currently displayed court.
This Monday night is the last time you can pay the ‘Early Payment’, after Tuesday it will the Regular Payment – which is $70 for adults ($100 for both nights). If you didn’t play in Season 1, then you will also need to pay the VQ Registration fee (an extra $40).
I have switched the MyTeam website so you can add yourself to your team. Team captains can you please ask all of your team to sign up to the MyTeam website, this is for both registration (insurance) and electronic scoring. If they are already registered, then ask them to Join your team, if you haven’t added them already. It will become a requirement to play in the future, so everyone needs to sign up AND register. Please let me know if you are having trouble registering – the Contact form at the bottom of the website works well.
At the moment, joining a team may create duplicates which you can just ignore for the moment. One of the reason’s for this is that we are have to protect personal information so I have been trying to make sure we don’t leak that information to people who are not registered or who have just signed up and are not known to you. This creates some issues where the team ‘owner’ doesn’t know everyone’s email addresses. The email address is how we uniquely identify you on the system. I have some ideas on this, but in the short term it may produce some issues such as duplicates.
I am also putting those team lists onto tablets for scoring – yes, I am still trying to get this happening! This means you can’t just delete players as there may be a record of them taking the court in a match. Again, I have ways to deal with this, but in the first instance I would like to have it working and make it more user friendly second.
I am slowly adding functionality to the MyTeam website – the team editor should be working better now. Personal information is being restricted to the individual – except for email addresses, which are being restricted to the team captains and managers. Cheryl and I have some better tools for checking out the online team lists for Premier League and Business League, and the draw is now showing as a page not a pdf – even on mobiles.
There is a draw editor that had to be made to put the draw up on the website. There is also a payment system to process all the online and cash payments – it just isn’t hooked up to the front page as yet. Next up will be the electronic scoring, and then updating MyTeam to show your next match when you login – which should be particularly useful for our School teams.
There is a notification system in the works to send you an email the day before your match – maybe even txt messages if we can find a cheap provider. I haven’t forgotten about online payments – but the goal of this system is to mainly to stop me from having to type in 300 registration forms by hand and process 24 match results including 48 team lists every week… so the electronic scoring comes first.
Thanks for your patience – I am so looking forward to when the system makes all this easier for us all.
Cheers

Here is next week’s draw, after which I should have the season draw
completed.
Don’t forget to pay your fees this week for the earlybird discount. Any team that has had a bye may
have an extra week to pay.
Hopefully uniforms are being organised as I will be introducing a bonus point system for those teams in uniform.
This will come into play after round 4 so that gives you time to find something.
I am still looking for a B grade woman and one or two C grade men so if you know some-one keen to play let me know.

The draw for Premier League is now available.
The web site may not be updated until late Monday night.
Unfortunately we have lost Women’s A Reserve, with some teams dropping back and some going up into A Grade. We have gained 1 team for Women’s A Grade – 5th Element.
I have split Men’s A Reserve into 2 divisions – which means the bottom grade for the Men is now C Grade. Their games are going to be in the Blue gym (at the moment) at 5:50pm. The draw says 5:40, but I will be starting it 10 minutes after that.
Welcome everyone, to Season 2!
Premier League Draw – Round 01 – Season 2 – 2018
For the last couple of weeks the MyTeam website has only been accepting new Team nominations.
During that time, the player’s nominating the teams added players and email addresses to the team lists – so if you haven’t seen your team yet, then your email address hasn’t been entered onto the team list yet. This week, I will switch it back over to the ‘In Season’ mode so you can Join an existing team. This will work better next season – one of those teething issues where you realise you didn’t think ahead to what happens when we start a new season!
We have 2 new rule changes (which will be updated on the website soon)
- We are allowing Juniors who have been selected to play for Qld to play in the Senior competition as well. This is simple for the Women’s competition who play at different times, but for the Men’s competition, the match times overlap, so it’s a touch more complex. Basically the Junior team gets precedence at all times.
- Sets will not commence if there is 5 minutes or less remaining on the clock. I would hope common sense would prevail if there is 5:30 left.
Check the draw carefully as there are a few duties that are on different courts.
We have lost a couple of Women’s A Grade teams due to several of our players being selected in the Pirates squad. Unfortunately they train on Tuesday and Thursday nights which has affected our A Grade competition quite significantly. We are trying to put together another team – if you were unsure if A Grade was going to work for you, now is a great time to have a go.
The same goes for our Junior Men as we only have 3 teams there again as well.
Please checkout the website for Rules, Fees, etc. myTeam.org.au
Musters
Musters are on the 31st of July, starting at 7:00pm until around 8:30pm.
Before you can nominate a team you will need to sign up and register on the MyTeam page of the website.
If your friends are looking to play – get them to sign up and register so they can look for a team as well.
If you want to play on both nights, please make 2 submissions, changing the competition in which you want to play each time you submit your nomination.
Nominating Teams
When you nominate a team, we are asking for the email addresses of all the players in the team (not for school teams) – something we weren’t very good at last season. The email address is very important as we will use it to be able to contact everyone, but also to be able to tell the difference between people with the same name – which is very important when we’re sorting out payments!
You can add the email addresses after nominating the team, so please nominate first, but be aware we will be chasing these up.
Season Length
Both Leagues will be 13 weeks long – 11 weeks of regular rounds with 2 weeks of finals which will finish up on the 13th of November.
There will be a 2 week break during the season – if schools could check out the Draws page to make sure the break lines up with their school holidays that would be great.
Fees
Fees have not changed for this season – if you played in first season, you won’t have to pay the VQ Registration fee again this season.
You will see on the Fees page that there are discounts for paying early, and penalties for paying late as well.
Contact Us
The Contact Us form in the footer of the page is the best way to get in touch with us.
Well done to all our teams last week. There were some closely contested semis and a few surprise results.
I have done the draw for next week and have just changed the order of two B grade playoffs on ct 5 so that no-one is doing duty that did it last week.
MashUps will do a duty on ct 3 though and Mixed Nuts on Ct 5 so please take note of this.
I am hoping all finalists will wear some resemblance to a uniform as we would like to put up some photos online. There were a couple of teams last week that were just a multitude of colours and styles with no common theme at all. Next season I am thinking I will give bonus points to teams in full uniform in an attempt to encourage all teams to make the effort.
Here is the draw:
CT 1 7pm Passed Out v Beard of Bees (Volleybrawlers) A Bronze
8pm Volleybrawlers v Neo Tokyo walruses (Beard of Bees) B Bronze
CT 2 7pm Diggy Balls v Synergy (Spikos) B Gold
8pm Rolling Thunder v Spikos (Synergy) A Gold
CT 3 7pm Smackin’ Aces v Excel Achievers (Spike Tyson) C Bronze
8pm Spike Tyson v Mixed Nuts (MashUps) C Gold
CT 4 7pm Sharks v Ooska (I’d Hit That) 5/6 A playoff
8pm Avengers v I’d Hit That (Sharks) 7/8 A ”
CT 5 7pm MashUps v 50 Shades of Blue (Mixed Nuts) 7/8 B playoff
8pm Woovers v Can’t Spike It (50 Shades) 5/6 B playoff
CT 6 7pm Neo Tokyo Weedles v Mighty Heights (Soggy Biscuits) 5/6 C Playoff
8pm Soggy Biscuits v Sugar & Spike (Neo/T Weedles) 7/8 C Playoff
There are no matches on ct 7 as the 9/10 playoffs in A & B grade were played last week.
Please hang around for the trophy presentations after the 8pm games finish. We will try to get games started early so we can start this before 9pm but it does depend on teams being ready on time, and my refs being there too.
Good luck everyone
Cheers
Cheryl
