1️⃣ Collect a Deposit
Collect a $200 deposit at registration or at least 7 days before the first game.
Consider sending a confirmation email outlining next steps and upcoming payment expectations.

2️⃣ Publish Only the First Games
About 7 days before Game 1, publish only the first set of games.

Many facilities choose to send a manual broadcast email through Dash letting teams know their first game is available to view and reminding them that a deposit is required to remain scheduled. Teams that have not paid a deposit may be excluded from the initial schedule.

If there are an odd number of teams, consider scheduling a doubleheader so all teams attend that night.

3️⃣ Communicate Remaining Balance Expectations
Inform teams they can view their first game online but must pay half of the remaining balance ($800) before their 1st game. Encourage online payment in advance, though facility payment on match night can be accepted.

4️⃣ Game 1 Check-In
Once a team has paid $1,000 total, give them a team wristband or other proof of payment. Referees should start games at the scheduled time even if payment is still coming in.

5️⃣ Release the Remaining Schedule
The day after the 1st game is played, publish the remaining 11 games.
Some facilities also send a follow-up email confirming the full schedule is now available.

6️⃣ Player Membership Verification
All players should receive a player wristband (or equivalent) confirming membership or eligibility before entering the field (if applicable).

7️⃣ Continued Check-Ins
Require player check-ins and wristbands again for Game 2 and beyond.

8️⃣ Final Payment Deadline
Prior to Game 5, send a reminder email notifying teams that the remaining balance ($800) must be paid before that game begins.

1️⃣ Collect a Deposit

3️⃣ Communicate Full Payment Requirement
Let teams know they must pay the remaining $800 before they are eligible to play on Game 1. This is often communicated through a broadcast email from the league coordinator.
