3. Login and Get Started
Now that you’ve signed up it’s
important to know all the benefits of
using your StadiumRoar website.
You can log-in anytime by visiting
www.stadiumroar.com. Enter your
email address and password and
click the green “LOGIN” button.

4. My Sites
As soon as you login, you’ll be taken to your “MY SITES” section where you can manage your sites. Click on the
link to your site to view the site as a “Manager”. This is also called the “Admin” view. It’s important to note
that the Admin view, or your view of the site when you login, is different from the “Public” view, or the way a
general person views your site during a browser session. As an admin, you can add, edit or delete any
information on the site; public visitors can’t do these things.

5. Top Buttons
You are the only one that has access to the silver buttons at the top of the screen;
these are private to all people except you. These are “MY SITES”, “PEOPLE & EMAIL”,
“FACILITY SCHEDULER”, “SITE INVITES” and “MY USER INFO”.
“PEOPLE & EMAIL” allows you to store contact information for people
involved with your tournament (coaches, officials, etc). You can email people
individually or create email groups to send bulk emails.
“FACILITY SCHEDULER” allows you to easily manage time-slot schedules at the
facilities that your tournament takes place at (fields, courts, gyms, etc).
“SITE INVITES” is where you receive invitations to become an admin of other
StadiumRoar websites. If you decide to invite other people to be admins of your
site, they will receive a site invite in their own personal “Site Invites” section.
“MY USER INFO” allows you to change your password and other
biographical information at any time.

6. Start Customizing
Once you visit your site as an admin, the first thing you’ll want to do is make sure the main
contact information, logo, and site colors are customized to your tournament. You can do
this quickly by clicking on the “ADD LOGO” and “CUSTOMIZE YOUR SITE’S COLORS” links in
the upper left corner, and the “ADD CONTACT INFO” link in the black scoreboard area.
6

7. The Home Screen 1) Management. You can
add managers to your site at
any time and make them
“Admins” just like you.
They’ll be able to add, edit
and delete information, just
like you can. It is
recommended you add
tournament assistants and
colleagues here.
2) Description. Give your
site a brief description which
tells the public what your
tournament and your new
site are all about. This is a
great place to add
instructions about how you
want visitors to use your site
(ex: which buttons to click
for certain material).
3) Announcements. Keep your participants up-to-date with tournament announcements. Just click the green
“UPDATE” button to post an announcement; you can post as many announcements as you’d like, and even attach files
to your announcements (Word documents, etc). The announcements will be automatically emailed to participants
who register on your site using the “REGISTRATION TOOL”.

8. Registration – Admin View
The “Registration Tool” lets you set up online registration for your tournament. The “Enter
Programs” button lets you enter the names of the programs you want people to register for (ex:
U 15 Soccer Tournament). The “Registration Info” button allows you to see who has registered
for your programs.
8

9. Registration – Public View
To register, participants click the “REGISTER” button when they visit your site in the public view.
They can choose if they want to sign up individuals for your programs (ex, a parent signing up a
child) or sign up an entire team (ex, a coach signing up a team). As people sign up, you will
receive all of their information in the admin view.

10. Main Navigation Buttons
The blue buttons in the middle of the site are your main navigation
buttons; they open up specific pages on your website. Feel free to use as
many or as few of them as you need.
10

11. Basic Information Buttons
“General” is your section to post any sort of general information related to
your tournament. You can write freely about topics of interest to your
tournament.
“News” is your section to post articles about your tournament (ex: game write
ups, player spotlights or news). As admin, you can decide whether site admins
have exclusive rights to posting news or if all website visitors can post news
(team parents, local reporters, etc).
“Programs” is your section to add the programs and events that are related to
your tournament; for example, teams, associations, meetings, fundraisers, etc .
For each entry, you can include names, short descriptions, contact info and
website links.
“Bios” is your section to add names, photos and bios of people involved in your
tournament. This is a great place to feature the tournament staff. You can add
names, background information and even photos of each person.
“Addresses” is your section to add the names, addresses and directions for all
tournament playing locations. You can also include links to Mapquest, Google
Maps, or other sites that help with driving directions.

12. Facility Scheduling – Part 1
To start facility scheduling, click the silver flag at the top of the screen. Only admins have access to
the buttons at the top of the screen. Facility scheduling is an easy way to manage time slots for all
playing locations (“LOCATIONS”) and rounds (“PROGRAMS”) that are involved in your tournament.
You simply (1) add each playing location, (2) add each game within each round (ex. Round 2 Game 5),
and (3) book time slots for rounds at each location. As you schedule time slots, StadiumRoar will
make sure you never accidentally “double book” a location.

13. Facility Scheduling – Part 2
Once you create facility schedules, you can instantly share these schedules with your
tournament participants on your website. Click the blue “Facilities” button and then
check off “DISPLAY” to post your schedules. Anyone can view or print facility schedules.

14. Discussions
“Discussions” allows anyone to create a topic and talk about that topic with other website
visitors; this section works just like any website forum. If you ever want to disable
“Discussions”, you can check a box at the bottom of the page and turn off the conversation.
14

15. Forms
“Forms” allows you to post all of the important paperwork that you need filled
out, signed or read by tournament participants. You can upload any sort of file
in this section (Word documents, Excel documents, PDF documents, etc).
Website visitors can download these documents with just a click.
15

16. Photos/Videos
“Photos/Videos” is the media center for your tournament. Here you can upload
all the photos and videos taken at your tournament. People can view your
photos and videos at any time, and even post comments on them. You can of
course turn off commenting at any time by clicking the “Disable Comments”
button at the bottom of the page.
16

17. Calendar
Your tournament calendar allows you to share your tournament’s day-to-day activities.
Here you can post game match-ups, like “Team 1 vs Team 2 on May 3”. Your calendar can
be viewed in two ways – the first, “traditional view”, is shown below. The second is the
“list view”, and shows all events in a chronological list. Each view can be printed by site
visitors with just a click.
17

18. Scores/Stats
You can keep a record of your tournament teams’ game scores and
statistics. You can enter the information, or allow coaches to visit the site
and enter it themselves. We automatically tally team stats and
tournament totals for you.
