Winter 2016 - Online scoring now live

IMPORTANT: Starting this coming season, you must log your score after each match as per the new ONLINE process (still before 7pm on the following day (Wednesday)). If you fail to log your score online, you will not be credited for any points for the week unless your opponents for the week do manage to log a valid score. Hopefully most of you will now be familiar with the online system which has been running for the last couple of seasons. Only in the event of a complete system failure should you call the 461-9240 number which we are keeping for a limited time as a safety net.


Registration
To be given access privileges to the scoring system, you must first be a registered user. To register as a user, go the www.thegvda.org and follow links to ‘Log In’ (Top right) and then ‘Register here’.

You will be prompted to enter an email address. This will be used to recover forgotten passwords and receive proof of score submission emails so it is essential that your correct email is entered. Choose a username and password that you will use to log into the system.

If you are a captain or are designated backup for a team you will be set up as associated with that team as soon as scheduling for the new season has been completed. Once you have been assigned access rights to a particular team you will notice additional links available to you in the secure section when logged in.

Score Submission
Follow the ‘Log your score’ link. On Tuesdays and Wednesdays this page will allow you to enter scores for the week. Use the dropdown to select 0-8 (or 10 in Metro) or Win by Forfeit (making sure you call the hotline first for authorization). Add any notables in the appropriate spaces provided and submit the form. You will be sent a confirmation email from thegvda.org and can also review your score submissions as stored in the system. If you have received an email or can see it under the review link, then you are good to go.

Timing

The score submission page is only active on Tuesday and Wednesday. Scores can be submitted up until 7pm on Wednesday, after which only notables can be submitted.
