Team Roles - Part 1
Captains, need to change the "role" of a person on your Netcord roster, such as setting a player up as the Co-Captain? It's easy. DON'T delete the person and re-add them to the roster as Co-Captain. This will cause them to need to reregister on the team in Netcord. Just click on the "Team Roles" link on the left hand side of any of your teamsite pages. This will give you a list of all players and the role (Captain, Co-Captain, Pro, Player) for each. Click the "Edit Team Roles" button and modify the role in the drop down box for the person in question. Then just click the "Update Team Roles" button and that's it. Now when you go to the Roster page of your teamsite, the new role for that team member has been updated.
We are continually working on updates for the teamsites and other sections of the site. Email us if you have something on your "Netcord Wish List!"

| Jerry Rules |
| Is it just me or does anyone else think that Roger Federer was just not quite putting a 100% effort into his series of exhibition matches with Pete Sampras? I watched the first match and it was a pretty easy straight set win for Federer. The second one was a little tougher if you go by the score of 7-6, 7-6 but if you watched the match really closely you would have seen that Federer picked up the quality of his play on the points he had to win. The third match was a gimme for Sampras, played on a surface that was slicker than goose poop. He won almost 50% of his points on aces or service winners. Maybe Federer wanted the match to be close and it just got away from him, maybe Sampras has enough left at age 36 to beat anyone, including Federer, on a given day. I don't think so. The only way to settle it is for Federer and Sampras to play in one of those old fashion WCT "winner take all" matches that they used to stage back in the early 70's out in Vegas. Five million to the winner, the loser has to carry the winner's bags courtside for a month. Federer. Every time. |
