Hello Funksters (I’m still workshopping the term)

I am happy to announce that registration for membership at Funky Bounce is now open. There are some significant logistical changes this year due to the loss of Hold My Court. We will be using the Playbypoint (PBP) platform for membership, communication, court reservations and daily organized play options. We will also be switching to a monthly membership rather than a 3 month term. 

In order for you to become a Funky Bounce member you will need to create an account on Playbypoint and then purchase a Funky Bounce membership while logged in to your PBP account. Some of you might already have a Playbypoint account as there is a club in Kelowna called The Warehouse that uses the same platform. If you do already have a PBP account please do not create a 2nd one.

Purchasing a Funky Bounce Membership

1. If you don’t have a Playbypoint account you will need to create one by clicking directly here - https://funkybounce.playbypoint.com/users/sign_up and then follow the steps. If you do have a Playbypoint account you can just login and proceed to the next step below.

2. Once you have created a Playbypoint account you will need to purchase your Funky Bounce membership at - https://funkybounce.playbypoint.com/f/funkybounce/memberships 

   1. Click on the “Learn More” button for the option that makes the most sense for you (30 day, 7 day or 1 day membership)

   2. Click on the Purchase button

   3. Follow the steps to complete your membership purchase

3. After you purchase your membership you will see a summary page which will include your membership expiration date as well as your membership ID. NOTE: You should receive a notification reminder 1 day prior to your membership expiring. 

4. You should now edit your profile in order to list your skill rating. I have contacted Playbypoint and told them that entering a skill rating should be one of the steps in creating an account but as of now it is not. Having a skill rating is a good idea in order to access other features of the Playbypoint platform. Please watch this video walkthrough on how to edit your skill rating from N/R (Not Rated) to whatever skill level you want to assign yourself. NOTE: If you made the skill edit on your computer the change will most likely not be reflected on the Playbypoint app until you logout and then log back in on the app.

5. Now you can reserve a court or join our Daily Organized Play. NOTE: There are guides and video walkthroughs to help you navigate this new system. Our Daily Round Robins will begin on Monday October 20 so get your membership and sign up to play!

Support

I am new to the PlayByPoint platform so I am probably not the best avenue of support should you have any issues with the app or the PlayByPoint website. I have been very impressed with PlayByPoint’s support. If you are having technical issues your best course of action is to go to https://help.playbypoint.com/en/  and click on the green message icon on the bottom right corner of the screen. From there you can 

1. Send them a message (they usually get back to you right away)

2. Search their Knowledge Database

3. Scroll down to the bottom and you can even schedule a 1 on 1 video chat where they can walk you through whatever it is that you are struggling with. I have been using this function a number of times as I learn how to administer the system. The video chats are super helpful.

NOTE: We would recommend that you contact Support on your computer rather than the app on your phone as the app has some limitations when being used for support.
