I think we enhance the existing spares feature / section to include Looking for Players (LFP) / Looking for Team (LFT).

Bobby Ray I think this is a good idea. Not sure where to put it though. Is this important enough to justify a spot in the top nav? We were also considering "Volunteer" as a potential top nav item at some point and I don't think we can fit both, which means one or both will be demoted to the Account nav which may or may not make sense.
I wonder if we can somehow combine this with sparing since it's very similar. Maybe it's just sparing but without selected an event. So you're saying "I'm available" as a Free Agent, and then give members a way to view all free agents.

Our workaround: we created a League called "Free Agents". When a member registers they are required to select a team name, restricted to either "Player looking for a team" or "Team looking for a player". The "notification email" field is set, so the moment someone registers, the league coordinators get the details. Custom required fields include "Skill level", "League", "Position(s)"; plus optional field "Comments".
The registration tab of the "Free Agents" league shows each player's contact info, and the "team" list shows their need...

Cold Lake Curling Club I think using our new Programs section might work better and might even be better than a dedicated feature for this, as you can set custom fields, fees, etc.

Dave Rapin Is there a way in the Programs section to reflect whether the registration is PLT or TLP? It seems that is the plan for enhancing the Spares section.

Cold Lake Curling Club: What I envisioned is you would create a separate program for each. If I'm looking to fill a team, I'm probably not also looking to find a team and vice versa. Better to separate them. I'm sure under some circumstances you might be after both, but I'm guessing that would be pretty rare.
I want to see what people do with Programs before we add more stuff. Having LFT / LFP hidden away in the curlers account area won't be as prominent as a program hanging off the top nav. At least that's my thinking right now.
We're not cancelling this feature by any means. Just punting it for now to see how programs are used.
