Dear Mentor
Just a quick note in an attempt to prevent the deluge of queries that will inevitably arrive this week!!!
219 schools completed their online entry form before Friday’s initial deadline for entry into all competitions – thank you.
What happens next is the slow part – all entries have to be checked for accuracy & missing/incorrect items, which is a slow, tedious process that can take several days. If information is missing or incomplete, despite pleas to the contrary, this has to be asked for, slowing down the completion of the database, which in turn affects the compilation of mentor lists, mailing lists etc.
So, to those of you who did everything you were asked, a huge thank you for making my job easier, to those who didn’t, please think of how everyone is affected.
Please be patient – once the entries are checked & the inevitable missing information provided, the next job is the cup draws, hopefully early next week, followed by league fixtures starting the week after. The online player registration process, through FAInet, will also launch soon, so please be patient on that front also.
As always, any queries, please don’t hesitate.
On behalf of the Executive Committee,
Yours in Sport,
Declan McGrath
Affiliation & Competition Entry Secretary,
FAI Schools, Leinster Branch.
