Sign Up To Play Is Your Friend

With last weekend's plethora of multiday events behind us, it is time to check your results in Sign Up To Play.

If you played in the Asics Presidents' Day Classic or the Capitol Hill 2008 Volleyball Classic, your results were automatically uploaded into STP. But you should take the time to check the results to see that they are accurate.

Regardless of where you have played this season, now is a good time to update your results since the seeding deadline is coming soon.

Want to know how to enter results into STP? Check out our Results FAQ here.

What You Need To Know About Team Check In

Team check in for Crossroads will be on Friday, March 7 for Week 1 and Thursday, March 13 for Week 2.  Check in times are from 3 pm to 9 pm at the Colorado Convention Center at 14th and Welton St.  Enter through the 14th Street lobby (by California and 14th Street corner).  Check in is in the F Atrium Lobby.

1. All teams must check in before practicing or playing.
2. Each team must have a printed Check In Form with a barcode on it from signuptoplay.com in order to check in. If your form does not have a barcode in the top right corner, you have not printed the correct form. You cannot use a form without the bar code to check in. See how to print one here.
3. Fill out all the verification information at the bottom of the page.
4. Each person (including coaches) on the roster must have a valid USAV number entered in signuptoplay.com, and your roster must be complete and correct before you print it. We will not accept any hand written changes on the roster at check in.  If you do not have the proper form when you get to Denver, you will have to find a computer and a printer and print the correct form.
5. Fill in the hotel and contact information requested at the bottom of the page. It is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT that you fill this section in so we can reach you in case of an emergency or a radical change in the tournament.
6. Sign the form.  The person who is checking the team in must have this form.

We will have late check in between 7 am and noon on Saturday, March 8 for Week 1 and Friday, March 14 for Week 2 in the F Lobby only.

Crossroads Fun Fact

Ever wonder why we have Daylight Savings Time? It was first proposed in England in 1905 but it was not put into use there until 1916. The US didn't come around until 1918. (How long until we use the metric system?) It was originally conceived in an effort to maximize use of summer daylight but the idea of energy conservation soon took the forefront. Recently in the US, DST was lengthened by the Energy Policy Act of 2005. The federal government may choose to extend the legislation or go back to the original dates after completion of a energy consumption study.

Regardless of why it exists, DST will begin on Sunday, March 9th at 2 a.m. That is the second day of play of weekend one of Crossroads. Be sure to remember that day so you won't miss a play or officiating assignment that day!
