[MMDL] Submitting match reports via email

MMDL is looking for team captains who wish to volunteer for a new pilot program to evaluate the feasibility of submitting scanned copies of weekly match reports via email.  This program is being looked at to increase the speed and reliability of reporting match scores.

 

To qualify for this program, you must be able to meet the following requirements:

 

  • You must have an email address which you use and check on a regular basis.
  • Ability to scan or otherwise convert hard copy match reports into a .pdf document that can be printed and read by the league statistician.  You must check the legibility of your scanned documents before transmitting and they must be similar in quality to the hard copy.
  • Write "Scanned" at the top of your hard copy of the match report before scanning.
  • Write the Area and Division names in the subject line of the email.
  • Match reports must be sent via email no later than 11:59pm on the Wednesday following your match. If you fail to submit your match report via email by the deadline, you will be subject to penalty point deduction for late match report.
  • You will NOT need to mail in the white copy of your match report.
  • At the end of this season you will be asked to provide an evaluation of this process and a decision will be made on whether to continue and/or expand this service in future seasons.

If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact Becky Wainwright at becky@mmdl.org or 978-882-3119.

[MMDL] Week 1 Results

Results for Week 1 of the Fall 2011 season are available on the MMDL Statistics Website.  Follow the link below to review the scores and notables for your area.

* WIN A BRAND NEW BLADE IV DARTBOARD * - Find out how you can get up to FIVE (5) entries in this drawing.  Winner will be selected on September 13, so ACT NOW. CLICK HERE for all the details.

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

Please mail your match reports immediately following the match. This will greatly help faster processing of weekly scores.

FILLING OUT MATCH REPORTS - Captains are urged to remember the following:

  • Mail the TOP WHITE COPY in the envelope provided.  Pink and yellow copies are for both captain's records. You are advised to store these sheets until the season is over in case of disputes or to examine for point deductions.
  • Write legibly (!!!) - if the name of the player, team, points and other information can not be easily read, this increases the chance for errors and delays the publishing of the standings
  • Use First and Last names - so proper credit can be given to the correct player for wins, losses and notables.
  • Start and End Times should be recorded in the space provided
  • Assign one of your players to review the report for accuracy at the end of the match to prevent point deductions.
  • DO NOT tear, doodle or otherwise deface the report - have respect for the person who must process hundreds of them in a short time window
  • For additional tips and guidance on this subject, click here.
Complying with the above is extremely important for our ability to process several hundred weekly match reports in a timely and accurate manner.  Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!

Week 1 Results:
Boston: Standings / Notables
Central: Standings / Notables
North Shore: Standings / Notables
