BTF Teams/Competition Information - Read This Please

[Saleem]

Hi everyone!

A lot of people have expressed interest in adding an "Info Zone" where users can easily find key information. The request that keeps coming up and that we will begin developing now is a repository for Team and Competition information. Users will easily be able to answer questions like

• What competitions are coming up in the next * months?
• Who placed/performed at Boston Bhangra 2007?
• Where did SGPD place this year?
• Where did VCU Bhangra perform recently?
• Team "Rankings" based on placings
• and also general team and competition information (contact, etc)

In order to make this a success, we need information to put into the system. I've attached two templates, one for teams and one for competitions. If you are affiliated with one and your organization's information has not yet been posted, PLEASE download the template and take 5 minutes to fill it out and post it back (just post a reply with the attachment, call it something different like MyTeam Info.xls). Once we get all the competitions who are on this site, we may need to begin the detective work to get the others' info! This will take time and effort, so bear with us, and please lend a hand

Sincerely,
Saleem

Edit: No need to attach the logo, just make sure Waleed got it here

Dude out curiosity, how much does it cost per month to run a website like this? I dont need an exact figure, but like a ballpark estimate? It's gotta be pricy, and I noticed that you don't advertise on here, so you must be paying for this out of your pocket....

That looks solid Saleem. I was wondering if you can also maybe add on when registration dates are for competitions. So then we know when the competition is, and when you would have to turn stuff in, in case you are applying.
But solid!

Competition Organizers, please put pertinent information like Registration Dates, Fees, etc in the Comments section. Giving each one a field would take up a lot of space unnecessarily. Thanks

Vick the money isn't bad (in the future hopefully we'll grow even more, and it'll cost more). Yes it is all out-of-pocket. It's the *time* commitment that's harder to measure. But I mean this site is something I've wanted to start for a long time and I'm committed to its success and making it useful for the community, and I'm glad people are enjoying and using it.

 

[Boston Bhangra]

I have attached the Boston Bhangra Competition information along with the Boston Bhangra team information.

Saleem,
have u thought about adding simple ads, like Google ads, to the forum to help recuperate costs and/or help build the site. im sure the forum is getting extremely good hits and google ads woult absolutely make enough to cover hosting fees and then some.

 

[zagreus]

you'll get GMU's info soon...

 

[Ashqe]

Yeah to be honest, I wouldn't really care if there were small ads on the bottom of the page (like POL) or something like that as long as there are no pop ups so that it cuts the costs for you. I barely even used to notice the ads on POL anyway.

 

[Manjot]

yeh definitely put some ads on...can't you also do like a donation link thing on the top of the site that the money goes straight to the place where you have to pay for this site?...you can also do those clickable ads that you have to get like certain amount of hits per day to make money...if every1 clicks the ads once/twice per day maybe more depending on how many you need..you can easily make money for the site this way

 

[Saleem]

BUMP!
