We also got a email from Erik Salander:
Here's a suggestion for your project. It would great if it had a "team" view to it. Does that make sense? Our club (Pen Velo Racing) uses a google doc with all the races and their available cats listed, then our racers sign up (add a row), so we know who is going to which race. Racers might want to know who "on their team" is going, more so than who "in the NCNCA" is going, or in addition to... Just a thought. Here's an example.
This is a great validation that this Feature makes sense.
The Problem
Relatively big teams plan for their events and season just like most of the racers do. Currently information about "team priority" events is stored in a google spreadsheet and Facebook groups are used to distribute that. This presents a problem for racers since they have to double-check the spreadsheet every time they plan for their season and, presumably, this is too complicated and most racers wouldn't bother. So it may not be useful for majority at all.
Another problem that every team has to "invent" their own way of creating and maintaining team's calendar. Zoca and now SJBC are doing it with Facebook group, shared spreadsheets and manual remindings send by team director with Facebook polls "who is coming to which race" which are sent week before events. SJBC used to just use Yahoo Mailing list to figure this out. One of the best sources of that information is still BikeReg (excluding day-off regs).
