Web Site Issue For HYWAY

[ekocottonball]

HYWAY needs to fix up their web site.  HYWAY cannot grow without an improvement in communication.  The vids, etc., are nice.  But HYWAY needs to put its tournament schedule and Indiana specific data in their web site spotlight.  ISWA placed their schedule out early as heck this year.  And good for the ISWA for doing that; it probably was in response to the positive competition that HYWAY has brought into the marketplace.

 

For example, HYWAY's home page says Whitko Tournament is January 23, but HYWAY's tournament page says Whitko is January 17.  Also, I keep hearing talk about additional HYWAY tournaments, but rarely does anything new get posted on the HYWAY web site.  And still nothing about individual state or individual nationals.  Such inaccurate or missing data will hurt HYWAY.  Clubs make plans months out. HYWAY is a great idea, but people won't show up if such inaccurate information continues.  People will draw their own conclusions and think maybe HYWAY is defunct because their is rarely any new info on their web site.

 

HYWAY does great things.  Their tournaments run faster and more efficiently than ISWA.  And HYWAYs online registration is a snap.  Plus the online registration makes tournament management and the start-end times much better.  And I like the fact they are a positive challenge to ISWA. 

 

However, one cannot simply say "HYWAY is a young organization" forever.  Being a novice organization has little to do with updating the web site and publish important data for people who want to attend HYWAY-NUWAY tournaments in a timely manner.
