3. _Example___________________________
Hey Team,
I haven't had a chance to send a reminder email to
everyone because I've been traveling all week for work.
Now that I am back I just wanted to send a reminder to
everyone that our game is TODAY at 5pm. Please let
me know if you can't make it.
Thanks, Alex

4. _Problem___________________________
Many social sports teams are disorganized...
 Roster data <> scheduling data
 Leagues use too many systems
Team registration Player payments Game scheduling T-shirt orders
 Poor communication: league -> captain -> player
 Frustration = player retention

5. _Solution:___________________________
Game Reminders Post-game
(for players) Recommendations
(for sponsors)
Team Tracking Data Consolidation
(for captains) (for leagues)

8. _Validation__________________________
Bill Steelman, Owner of SOBO Sports:
"I have to use 5 different websites for
various league tasks. If you can consolidate
them into one system, I will buy your tool."
Derrick, Football Captain:
"It's a hassle for me to remind my teammates
to show up for games each week. If that was
automated, it would make my life easier."
