Online Player Registration Instructions
Fall Season 2008
 
23 Aug 08


REMINDER: The fall season begins a new FIFA year; therefore, all player registrations must be renewed. In addition to the electronic registration procedures described below, teams must submit a signed registration form for EVERY player, and provide an ID card with a new sticker on the back for returning players. A new ID card with photo attached is required for new players.

Online player registration is now open for new and returning teams, as are team pages for you to personalize.  To register your players please go to: http://www.hwsahouston.org
 

  1. From the Hotstat home page click on "HWSA Fall 2008 Teams" which should give you a full division structure with all teams listed. The division structure is subject to change.
     
  2. Click on your team name and it'll take you to your team page, where you'll need to click on LOG IN in the top right corner. The next page is a log-in page, and if you already have a PIN, enter it here. If you don't have a PIN or have forgotten yours, click on the line that says: "Don't have a PIN, or you've forgotten it? Click here." Use the email address you used to register as manager on your team application form and your PIN will be sent to you. You are welcome to change your PIN later.  
     
  3. Once you receive your PIN and are able to log in, you'll have access to your team's home page. From here, click on "Maintain Team Roster." Teams returning from the fall season can click on "Team Player Pool" where you will be able to select from all players who were on your team in the fall. Please edit your player info so that it's current, save it, and add your new players by using the Add Player to Team or Create Multiple Players link (see #4 below). New teams should use the Add Player to Team or Create Multiple Players link to create the roster (see #4 below).
     
  4. For new players, you'll have the choice of entering full information on each player once, or entering partial information on a bunch of players all at once. Your choice. Either way, you MUST enter the following fields for every new player:
    - first and last name
    - full address
    - email address
    - player ID # (only for returning players – this is the number on the player’s ID card), and
    - date of birth
     
  5. This is the same process you will use throughout the season to add additional players.
     
  6. Players will not be eligible to play until their paperwork is turned in at the league meeting, 6:30 pm, 27 August, at the Black Labrador, and their online player information is complete. EVERY player must have a signed registration form and player card. You MUST bring player cards for returning players from previous seasons. You need to put new stickers on the back of returning player cards.
     
  7. Please bring registration materials (completed and signed TSSAS registration form and ID card with photo attached) for ALL players and a printed copy of your roster (showing new and returning players) to the player registration meeting (6:30 pm, 27 August, at the Black Labrador).

Any questions can be directed to the women's or coed commissioners, or the registrar.
