SportsBytes: eNewsletter for Sports Administrators - February
SportsBytes offers product and marketing tips, resources and informational webinars geared towards helping you gain the greatest value from your online registration service and partnership with ActiveSports.
This month, we're hoping you can take a few moments to complete a short survey to share how the economy is affecting your sports programs. We will share the anonymous results in next month's SportsBytes.
We look forward to providing you information and resources that you find insightful, and welcome your feedback for future topics.
Regards,
Scott Leder
General Manager

Tips for the Registration Center
Renewing Your Registration Site Using Our "Copy Listing" Tool
|
|
|
 |
|
|
Using our "copy listing" tool will allow you to copy over the event set up from last year and create a new registration site within a few minutes. This set up process will automatically copy over your entry fees, billing information, and contact information, while giving you the option to copy over event details, questions and more, saving you time.
After your site is created you will be able to go back and update/customize the rest of your registration site. Follow these easy steps:
- Go to www.active.com/explorer.
- Type in your username and password, click log in.
- When the page refreshes go to the "Select Listing ->" drop down bar located in the top left – pull the bar down to select which registration listing you would like to access.
- Once that registration listing pulls up push the gray "copy listing" button that is located at the top of the page near that "Select listing" scroll bar.
- A pop up box will appear called a wizard and will walk you through setting up your new registration listing.
- It will copy over the basic set up of your past registration site.
- Once this wizard is done you will get a message that says "Congratulations! Your listing has been created!" – click OK.
- The page will refresh and take you to your registration center homepage for your new registration site.
- You can now edit & update the rest of your registration site
Things to review/check over once the site is created:
- Check that all your event details are up to date.
- You can update this information in the yellow folder called "General Listing Information"
- Review your registration questions.
- Go to the yellow folder called "Customization" & select the questions icon
- Check your registration messages and make sure they are updated.
- Go to the yellow folder called "Customization" & select the registration messages icon.
When you are ready to go live:
- Make sure your listing is turned on so you can begin accepting online registrations; you can update this by changing the toggles in the "status of your listing" section (see screen shot below).
- Make sure your listing is approved for display on Active.com; you can update this by changing the toggles in the "status of your listing" section
- When you are ready to go live add the registration link to your website from the "link from your website" section to help promote the online registration option.

I grew up in northern California and have been a football, basketball and baseball fan my whole life; playing baseball up to the junior college level. I also enjoy playing golf and softball recreationally.
I've been with the Active Network since 2006, and enjoy building relationships with my football and basketball clients across the United States. Outside of work, I can be found spending time with my beautiful wife, Marissa, and daughter, Kenzie.
