Demosphere Hits Foreign Soil
From June 8-10, Ben, Miles, and Sean were in Coventry, UK for the Grass Roots Football Show.

GRFS is the largest soccer expo in the UK and attracted over 5,000 visitors during the two day exhibition.  It was held at the Ricoh Arena, home of Coca-Cola Championship team Coventry City FC.

Demosphere met many club representatives and learned a lot about the football (soccer) system in the UK.

Look for some new clubs across the pond to join Demosphere over the summer in addition to current clients LK International Soccer Tournament and Glasgow City Cup!

Tip of the Month - Tournament and Scheduling

You can now set applications and schedules to a specific time in addition to date.  Turning off the application and letting the schedule go live has never been easier.  In the season structure wizard you can set the exact time (am/pm) and date the application should close and the schedule to go live.  Please remember, the time needs to be set for Eastern Time, not your local time.  If you have any questions regarding this feature, please contact Demosphere support.
