We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we thank you for your patience.

If you’re still going old school with your template, it’s time to upgrade! The customizable eteamz template, introduced in 2009, is an improved version of the previous template. And, the only thing that will change when you add a new template is the up-to-date appearance of your site and your ability to use two of our most popular features for teams and leagues:

• Facebook Administration: By adding Facebook tools to eteamz, you will be able to communicate with members through the most popular social network. Facebook helps to spread valuable information and keep people coming back to your site.  And the best part is, everything you need is already built into eteamz and you can utilize these features whether you have your own Facebook account or not.  Learn more about Facebook Administration.

• Tournament Brackets: The eteamz tournament functionality gives you all the tools you need to easily create, publish and print your tournaments!  This includes single elimination, double elimination, round robin tournaments and more!  Learn more about Tournament Brackets.

Here at eteamz, we have a lot of new features coming your way and we don’t want you to miss out on being able to use them because your site template is out of date.  Worried about losing your data?  Don’t fret, your schedules, rosters, site news and other information will be safe and you’ll still have full access to it.  When you upgrade your eteamz template, you will be able to choose whether you’d like to add features like Facebook Administration+ and Tournament Brackets+ to your website.  To upgrade to a new template, go to your admin panel and click “Customize” under the My Site Design folder.

+ Facebook Administration and Tournament Brackets are exclusive to PLUS accounts.

Spotlight Site: Lakeside National.  Check out how this innovative site admin utilized eteamz newest features!

Coaches, team and leagues can now use social media to increase participation and community interaction! Even if you don’t have a Facebook account, you can still benefit from the eteamz Facebook features because eteamz connects with your members’ Facebook accounts for you. 

Features you can benefit from:

• Post news items, scores and calendar updates to your existing Facebook account and to your members’ Facebook News Feeds right from your eteamz site
• Display your Facebook Wall posts on your eteamz site
• Allow your members to "Like" Facebook posts you create within eteamz
• Allow members to “Subscribe” to your Facebook updates

Learn more or get it now by visiting the Communication section of your Admin panel. 

*The social media integration is only available for eteamz PLUS members

Discontinuation of Smart Message Center

Due to continued problems with the Circle Up Smart Message Center, we have decided to discontinue offering this service as a part of eteamz.  We understand that many of you have found the Smart Message Center to be a valuable tool, but the recent unreliability with the service has caused us to conclude that it is something we can no longer offer to our customers. Please note that as of November 15, 2011, eteamz site admins will no longer be able to access their Smart Message Center. We’d advise that you download your members list by visiting the Group Messages or Team Messages menu item of your eteamz site as soon as possible so you can easily access all of your contacts moving forward.

Don’t forget that as an eteamz admin, there are other helpful communication features that are available to you: 

Email lists - Create email lists based on your website members. Easily organize member addresses and email via an email application such as Microsoft Outlook and create as many lists as you need for your coaches, players, parents, etc.  Email Lists can be accessed by visiting the Communication in your Admin menu.

Surveys and Polls - Create surveys, question forms, or polls to display on your site. This allows you to easily collect important (or fun) information from your site visitors and members.  Surveys and Polls can be accessed by visiting Website Pages in your Admin menu.

MessageCast – Reach out to your team, league or group with custom broadcast phone messages. Configure groups of your site members, type in your messages and deliver them as telephone calls to everyone you choose...anytime you want. The cost to send a MessageCast will vary depending on the length of the message and the number of recipients receiving a call.  Available to both PLUS and free website administrators.  MessageCast can be accessed by visiting Communication in your Admin menu.

NEW! Facebook Administration - By adding Facebook tools to eteamz, you will be able to communicate with members through the most popular social network. Facebook helps to spread valuable information and keep people coming back to your site. And the best part is, everything you need is already built into eteamz and you can utilize these features whether you have your own Facebook account or not! Facebook Administration is available to PLUS admins under the Communication folder.

If you have any questions about the discontinuation of the Smart Message Center or the additional communication tools available, contact eteamz support at http://www.eteamz.com/customersupport.cfm

Welcome to the Active.com Community!

eteamz Administrators,

You've asked and we've delivered -- we are very excited to announce that custom email addresses are now available!

You can now have a custom email address to match your eteamz custom domain.

To purchase custom emails, you must have an eteamz custom domain through eteamz/OpenSRS. You can also purchase a domain and the emails at the same time through eteamz, in your My Account/PLUS folder. If you purchased a custom domain through eteamz prior to February of 2010, please contact Hover (http://www.hover.com) to inquire about email addresses for your domain.

How it works:

1. Purchase custom emails in your My Account/PLUS folder; make sure to take note of the address and password you fill out in the form (NOTE: this will differ from your eteamz login)

2. Once you purchase the custom emails, a new folder will display under your My Account/PLUS folder in eteamz.

Use the username and password from the purchase page to login to your new mailbox on the Custom Email page.

3. When you login, your mailbox will open in a new window. Save this window as a bookmark if you’d like to access the mailbox directly, outside of your eteamz site. Use this mailbox just as you would a Yahoo or Gmail mailbox.

4. Add up to 4 more custom emails by clicking the Admin folder in your mailbox.
