UPA Board Meeting notes

Blog
My presentation seemed to go over well.
 CMS installed:
   permissions setup (previous setup was terribly insecure)
   expandable (World Games application)
 
 Online rostering demo

 Out of online rostering development comes membership 
 accounts, and with that:
   forums
   members only pages / access
   events pages
   move away from yahoo groups for official UPA groups
   
 Also provide
   RSS for tournaments, game scores
   Email checking for bounce backs

 Also need to do automatic check of content:
  broken links
  quality of dated information: pickups, teams, etc.

 Integration of older content/statistics

 Other projects: expand info tracked (i.e. coaching), registration, etc.

Volunteers: dev't server available, needs installing 
before we can set up and get volunteers helping us.

Todd's observation:

The UPA was created to get all the ultimate players together to play in a series. Now, the success of the college series and club series has created a gap between the elite players and the average players. We're almost a victim of our own success. Maybe leagues are filling the gap between the top level of play and nothing.
