Commission and leagues weigh platform options, background checks and shared registration
Summary
Commission and league leaders discussed online registration platforms (SportsConnect/Blue Sombrero) and the possibility of a single shared registration system to reduce duplicate background checks and centralize contact lists and payments.
Commissioners and league leaders discussed consolidating registration and background‑check processes through a single platform to reduce duplicate work and improve accounting.
"Blue Sombrero is is the.com ... The actual server is Sports Connect," a staff/league participant said when describing platforms in use; speakers contrasted SportsConnect, Arbiter and other vendor options and described previous background‑check runs through SportsConnect. Participants suggested collecting AED‑certification status on registration forms so leagues could avoid paying for duplicate training.
The commission asked staff to contact vendors, confirm bank‑account and payment flows for a shared platform, and report back with final pricing and implementation steps. Staff reported they already send press releases and registration links to a media list and can help amplify signups once a platform is chosen.
