REGISTRATION

How to Register for Dodgeball Winnipeg

Step 1: Choose Your Registration Type
Use the filters in the registration box to find your league. Only the leagues that are currently open for registration will appear.
If it’s your first time, you’ll need to create an OpenSports account:

• Enter your email, first and last name (use your legal name).
• Confirm your email and accept the waiver to proceed.
• If prompted to register a team but you want individual registration, close the window and select the correct option.

Team Registration: Choose this if you already have a full team. You’ll add your team roster after registering.
Individual or Draft League Registration: Choose this if you’re joining as a free agent.

Step 2: Enter Registration Info

• Teams: Provide a team name and select a team colour (used in schedules and standings). Proceed to the payment screen. Options will be clearly labeled.
• Individuals: Scroll through available leagues and proceed to payment.

Step 3: Pay to Reserve Your Spot
OpenSports prioritizes secure payments processed via Stripe. E-transfer will no longer be an approved payment method for registrations. Accepted cards include:

• Visa & Visa Debit, MasterCard, American Express (Note: Amex Debit not accepted)
  Note: OpenSports charges a standard credit card processing fee on all transactions. Please note that these fees are collected by the payment processor, not by Dodgeball Winnipeg — we do not receive any portion of them.

  At Dodgeball Winnipeg, our mission is to keep the sport affordable and accessible for all teams and players. Unfortunately, credit card processing fees are a common cost across nearly all league management and registration platforms. We’ve chosen OpenSports because it offers the best overall balance of reliability, convenience, and affordability for our community.

  We appreciate your understanding and continued support as we work to keep league costs as low as possible while maintaining a smooth registration experience for everyone.

Step 4: Access Your Dashboard
Once payment is complete, you’ll be taken to your dashboard. Here, you can:

• View team info, use team chat, receive league updates, invite teammates to join and more.

Step 5: Inviting Your Teammates To Your Roster (mandatory)

• Look for the “Invite Teammates” or “Add Players” option (this may appear as a button or link on the team page).
• Share the invite link – you can send it directly through a unique invite link (copy and paste it into a text, email, or group chat) Or email invites sent directly through the app
• When your teammates click the link, they’ll be prompted to log in or create an OpenSports account, then join your team for the league. Once they join, you’ll see their names appear on your team roster.

  Tip: Make sure your teammates register before the league’s deadline so your roster is complete and eligible to play.

As we transition to OpenSports, we’re committed to making this process as smooth as possible. We understand that change can take some adjustment, and we truly appreciate your patience and understanding during this implementation. This upgrade represents our ongoing commitment to providing you with the best possible experience and will help us continue to grow the sport we all love. If you have any questions about the new system, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

Thank you for being such an important part of the community. We look forward to seeing you on the court!
