Building Brackets
by Rob Little 09 Jun '26

09 Jun '26

Since many of us will be building brackets over the next several weeks, I wanted let folks know that I've built an add-in for Excel to help build and format brackets that match LL double elimination brackets. If you want to use it, just click on Add Ins in Excel and then search for "Bracket Builder". Let me know if there's anything I can do to help out (using bracket builder or any other way I can help with your brackets). --rob (trying to be a helpful state website guy)

Hi, I really liked Glen's idea of gifting leftover state pins to the next district hosting that tournament. If you are interested in receiving leftover state pins from me please email me directly. I can go through my supply and send you pictures of the pins and count.

JDP background checks and Stack Sports info
by Loris Gies 15 Oct '25

15 Oct '25

After discussion at the State Meeting I reached out to both JDP and Stack Sport. While the "resource area" on Stack Sports still says the Quick App is available on JDP website IT HAS BEEN REMOVED AT LL REQUEST per an email from JDP support staff. I called Stack Sports (after two emails failed to get a response). Stack Sports advised in order to get background checks, you will need to make a registration category for board members. IF some of your board members will be Team Managers, Coaches or Team Volunteers they will need to sign up as Board members and ALL other team position/s they will be applying for (sometimes in multiple divisions or programs). However ONLY one background check will be done and the verification will track to ALL positions for 2026 (Spring, Fall and All stars) for which they apply. For our league, since the we are opening Spring player/team staff signup on November 1, I added 2026 Board Member as a team staff position in the 2026 Baseball registration. In our league, I am sending an email to ALL new Board members advising them to signup on NOV 1, as board members. Since its only 2 weeks out. They can also signup as Team Manager, Coach or Team Volunteer on NOV 1 or wait until later if undecided about those roles. Apparently there is a way to do a "free standing" board member registration, which Stack Sports staff could probably walk you thru on their Support Line 866-258-3303. IF leagues don't open signups until later, they may want to explore that option. Loris Gies President Capitol LL ADA D3

Re: [Wadas] How to access your leagues' Registration Data

I would like to set this up for boards, but I’d like to wait a month or so to get all the current board members into the data base. I probably should tell the presidents I’m doing this at our next district meeting. From: Wadas <wadas-bounces(a)lists.rodeonetworks.com> on behalf of "J.

Why do you want this? It allows you to talk directly to parents and boards, and to create discussion forums. I have two that I operate for District 13: 1) All-Parents that register players for a given year and 2) All Board members so I can address every board member from every league all at once. It’s easy to manage, you’ll have your own logins, and you can control communications to your boards and parents. Using the list serve I have bypasses all of Google’s registration requirements, AND it doesn’t cost you anything.

Well, here you go. First: Hopefully everyone knows that you can see the registration statistics across your District via the Data Center, under: View Reports View Registration Data Statistics for Leagues in your District ( then just choose the year ) Now, for the bigger one you want: How to view the actual registration details, per league: Go into one of your leagues in the Data Center (via login). View Reports (for that league) Historical Registration Data Download Registration Data for (year) season. It will download a CSV file showing the data. I did get the “decoder ring” from Kit as to what Column B is “Division”. See attached. Hope this helps. --Brian _______________________________________________ Wadas mailing list Wadas(a)lists.rodeonetworks.com http://lists.rodeonetworks.com/mailman/listinfo/wadas

Agenda Change

11 Oct '25

Kit will not be able to attend the meeting Saturday due to circumstances out of her control. It is doubly unfortunate since we had to change the date from the 18th to the 11th to accommodate the West Region schedule so she could attend. We will discuss "make up" options at the meeting Saturday.
