Winter League 2023/24 Registration Open
Registration for the 2023/24 Winter League is now open and teams can be submitted on the new Rackemapp powered website via the 'Register Team' button above.
- International Rules will start on Wednesday 4th October
- Macc Rules will start on Thursday 5th October
Captains should familiarise themselves with the new website and system by reading the Captains Guide and watching the Captain’s Experience and Matchday Experience videos. The full regisrtation process will then be as follows:
- Captains register their team and players online
- Entry to the league is granted once approved by the committee
- The captain will then receive an email, with an invitation to create their account. They must create an account in order to manage their team and submit scorecards.
- Captains can invite players to create an account so they can manage their own player profiles. They do this by including an email address for the players and clicking 'invite' from the team management screen. It is not necessary for players to have an account in order to play for a team, but it is encouraged they do so they can access all features of the platform.
- Captains, or at least one person from each team, must attend the registration night on Sunday 10th September, 7.00pm at The Broken Cross Club, where:
- Cash payment of registration fees will taken. (No card or online payments.)
- Training and a Q&A session will be held for the new platform and website
- Teams not in attendance will not be admitted into the league
The new platform replaces hand written match cards with a digital scorecard system that captains will access via their phones and update during each match. It is therefore essential that captains are familiar with the system before the season begins. If captains are not able or confident to use the system, they can delegate responsibility to another member of the team who must also attend the registration evening.
The Rackemapp platform opens up many new features to captains and players alike:
- Live frame-by-frame results, league tables and merit lists
- Team profiles with match history and 'scouting reports'
- Player profiles with careers stats, trophy cabinet, team history and frame-by-frame breakdown of every game played in the MPL in both league and competitions
There are plenty more features the platform includes which we hope to utilise in the future, including fully integrated online payments, live steaming overlays and tablet scoreboards.
In order to cover costs for the new system it has been necessary to increase the team registration fees from £20 to £25. Player registration fees remain fixed at £5 per player. We feel this is fair and are confident that once the season gets underway everyone will see the excellent value for money the platform offers.
The website has been launched with a focus on getting underway for Winter League 2023/24, so much of the history and content on the previous website is yet to be migrated. Rest assured this will be integrated over time, at which point both League Manager and the previous website will be closed down.
