Answers to some Frequently Asked Questions

How does MyTeamOrganizer work? MyTeamOrganizer is a powerful, easy-to-use web-based system for team leaders to manage their members and schedules.

What do team leaders do with their accounts? Team leaders define who is on their team(s) and set schedules, which are then made available to the team members. Gone are the days of the team coordinator calling all their members when schedules change - MyTeamOrganizer now handles this for you automatically.

What is the benefit for MyTeamOrganizer team members? In addition to receiving automatic reminders for events, team members get their own login, where they can manage all of their MyTeamOrganizer teams from one account. Members can update their own profile information and attendance, as well as communicate with each other and with other teams using the Forum.

How is MyTeamOrganizer different from an email distribution list? MyTeamOrganizer saves the back-and-forth banter from clogging your inbox. Team members are given all the information they need automatically - if they want to banter, they have the Forum. Plus, with a web-based calendar, it's easy for team members to see all upcoming events at a glance.

What makes MyTeamOrganizer special? MyTeamOrganizer is a user-friendly application built for helping to manage any kind of team. Our goal is to make your job as the team leader easy with a web application that's fast, effective, and powerful.

How many teams can a leader manage? A team leader can manage as many teams as he or she would like to manage.

How many teams can a member be on? A member can be on as many teams as he or she would like. MyTeamOrganizer will automatically provide a single account that the member can use to access all of his or her teams at once.

How do automatic email reminders work? Email reminders are sent before every event to all the members, at which point members will respond with whether or not they can attend the event. All of this is designed to be automatic, so that the team leader does not need to expend any additional effort coordinating the team.

Can I download my schedule? Yes, schedules can be downloaded in vCalendar or iCalendar format for easy integration into everyone's calendar software (Outlook, Palm, Google Calendar, etc).

What information do members receive in their emails? Automatically-sent emails to your members provide you with peace of mind that your team will know what's happening. Emails have a link to confirm whether or not the member will attend the event, so you get a head-count early. If you provide a Zip code with the location of the event, the predicted weather for the event will be included in the email. Also included with every email is a link to the Member Login, so team members can easily access their schedules, get maps to event locations, review rosters, and post messages in the forum. MyTeamOrganizer automatic emails stimulate the kind of involvement that most teams only dream about.

How much does MyTeamOrganizer cost? MyTeamOrganizer is designed to be free for any size team, group, or event. Subscriptions start at just $4.95/month.

Why do all accounts require a password to log in? MyTeamOrganizer is dedicated to protecting the privacy of the members on each team. Your personal information is only available to people on your team.

Do I need to download anything to use MyTeamOrganizer? No - MyTeamOrganizer is entirely web-based.
