Open Angel Forum Boulder Redux
(Jul 16th, 2010)
The Open Angel Forum, which TeamSnap presented at in February, is coming back to Boulder on August 4th. If you are a startup looking for money or an investor looking for great investment opportunities, check out the announcement. Be warned though – the bar is high. The Forum attracts serious investors by being very choosy about selecting the presenting companies. And it attracts the best companies by only inviting active investors with funds available. The result is a target rich environment from both sides: investors ready and willing to invest, and companies that represent attractive, high potential investment opportunities. If you feel you fit into either category it is well worth your time.

New Feature: Automatic Result Prediction
(Apr 1st, 2010)
Today we’re pleased to roll out a new feature that we think will make TeamSnap even more valuable for all of our teams: Automatic Result Prediction. Simply put, this feature uses artificial intelligence to predict and automatically enter the scores of your games as they occur. Now you no longer have to go into TeamSnap after the game to enter the score … TeamSnap accurately predicts and enters the score as soon as the game is completed.

TeamSnap Slowness Tonight Fixed
(Mar 25th, 2010)
Hi TeamSnappers,
We had some slowness in the application (as some of you noticed) from around 7:30-8pm Eastern (4:30-5pm Pacific). We traced this down to a problem on the underlying system that our database server sits upon, and were able to get it fixed. Everything should be running well now!

Wow! Totally Improved Contact Handling, For Youth Teams and Everyone
(Mar 2nd, 2010)
Phew!
We’ve done a massive overhaul of how TeamSnap handles email addresses, phone numbers and additional contacts on the Roster. It’s sophisticated, flexible and powerful and we think you’re going to love it. It eliminates some of the workarounds that youth teams have had to make to get multiple parents listed with their kids, and for anyone with extra email addresses, phone numbers or cell phones it’s going to make your TeamSnap experience better too.
