SALLIE

Event Worker Coordination

Fill gate duty, concessions and supervision posts for athletic events, see which are still short, and remind the people on them.

A home game needs more people than the two teams. Someone takes tickets at the gate, someone runs concessions, someone supervises, someone keeps the clock. The list is often a sign-up sheet or a group text, and the athletic director finds out who did not come when the gate opens.

SALLIE keeps the posts each event needs and who is on each. The duties board shows one week at a time, day by day, with every home event, its posts, and a chip such as 1/2 when a post is short. Add a post with its place, its times and how many people it needs, or copy the posts from the last home event in the same series. Put a staff member on with a tap, or type a question: “Who has concessions tonight?” is answered at once.

The people on the posts hear about it without you chasing them. Three days before a duty, unless your school changes the number, SALLIE emails each staff member on it, and the day before, a reminder goes to their phone. Every staff member has My duties: their own posts for the next seven days, with a Give up button, and the posts that still need someone, with I'll take it. A post that is short as its day gets near shows in the athletic director's Needs you list. If the event moves to another day, its posts move with it.

Questions

Do workers confirm that they are coming?

Not with a button. Each staff member on a post is emailed ahead and reminded the day before, and someone who cannot come taps Give up, which shows the post as open again on the board. Game officials are different: when you send them the event, each official gets an emailed link with two buttons, I'll be there and I can't make it.

Can parent volunteers be put on a post?

Yes, if your school turns that on; it is off to begin with. A guardian can then be named on a post by typing a sentence, and reminding volunteers sends them a text after you confirm. A volunteer is never emailed.

What if one person is put on two posts at the same time?

A tap does not stop a double booking. When you put someone on by typing a sentence, the card warns you if that person is on another post at the same time, or if the post is already full.
