Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXIX
On March 16, CEO Jay Baker and Product Manager Ashley Tate attended the opening ceremonies of the Dr Pepper Dallas Cup XXIX. One of the most prestigious international youth soccer tournaments in the world, the Dr Pepper Dallas Cup runs for an entire week each spring, drawing teams from dozens of nations and top clubs all over the world such as Liverpool, Benfica, Sao Paulo and Tigres.

The day before the tournament, David Beckham and the LA Galaxy were on-hand to participate in a charity match with FC Dallas at Pizza Hut Park. This was an emotional visit because Galaxy Forward David Beckham participated in the Dr Pepper Dallas Cup when he was 13 years old. Severe thunderstorms made for some mid-week schedule changes, but overall the 2008 Dr Pepper Dallas Cup was a great success!
Tip of the Month - Online Registration
Demosphere wants to hear from you!

On March 14, Demosphere's Online Registration department sent out a User Evaluation survey asking for your feedback on the product and support as well as allow us to make future enhancements. All the feedback we have received so far has been extremely valuable - thank you to everyone who has completed the Evaluation so far!

If you haven't had a chance yet, the User Evaluation is open until April 14. We value your opinion, so please take a few moments to fill it out.
For the Good of the Game
ExtraTime applauds the many individuals and organizations that run memorial tournaments, scholarship programs, events to raise funds and awareness (such as Kicks Against Breast Cancer as reported in our last issue) and programs to promote friendship through soccer and other sports across town, across the nation and even across national borders (Coaches Across Continents).

Every year as we travel to state and national workshops we are inspired by the amazing stories of people being inducted into Halls of Fame. These people share a special quality of giving and caring. Whether a life-long devotion and dedication to the sport, for setting up clubs and leagues, or for mentoring and providing opportunities for others, their stories need to be told.

ExtraTime will dedicate a space in each issue to this purpose. Tell us about the person your memorial tournament, field complex or scholarship fund is named after. Tell us about the people in your community who have made a difference. Tell us what you do For the Good of the Game and we will share it here, with the entire Demosphere network.

Get Going Demosphere
In our last issue Demosphere introduced our Get Going Demosphere campaign; promoting and encouraging healthy lifestyles.  Lee Levenberg writes, "Officiating soccer games is the best stress reliever I know.  If I am not working as CFO of a swimwear company or treasurer of Plantation Eagles Football Club, I am on the fields as a referee for youth, adult and high school games."

Since our last issue, Account Manager Kristin Donlin and COO Ben Jones participated in the 36th Annual Credit Union Cherry Blossom Ten Mile Run.  A three minute difference in our previous race turned into a four minute difference for the other this time around.

We may joke about healthy competition, but the important part still remains that getting out on a daily basis is what makes a difference.  Whether it is running, walking, refereeing, cycling, etc., these activities can help you focus more, keeps your mind sharp, will keep you healthy, and can be a great way to relax. Exercise is great and even if you only do it for 30 minutes something is better then nothing.

Demosphere wants to know what activities you participate in outside your day-to-day life.  Send your stories to extratime@demosphere.com as a part of our Get Going Demosphere campaign.

Get Going Demosphere is about promoting and encouraging healthy lifestyles.  Stay tuned for more on Demosphere staff and their activities outside the office.
