NOTE: To be eligible to sign up, your name/email needs to be added to the CSA pickleball group. It is also highly recommended that you sign up for an account with signupgenius.com, using the same email address; as described below, having such account will allow you to edit or cancel your signups yourself.
Pickleball at the Canmore Seniors Centre is for CSA members only. See canmoreseniors.org/pickleball for more information on the sport and on CSA pickleball activities.
If you have successfully had your name/email added to the CSA pickleball group by pickleball@canmoreseniors.org, then each week you will receive an email invitation from info@signupgenius.com to sign up to play. If you click on the Sign Up link in that email, you will see something like this:
At the top right, circled in red in the above screenshot, is a link that you can click to Log in to your account at SignUpGenius. To sign up for a session, you do not need to have a SignUpGenius account, and if you do have an account, you do not need to Log in in order to sign up for a session. By logging in to SignUpGenius though, you will be able to modify or delete your signup yourself; otherwise you will need to email pickleball@canmoreseniors.org to make any changes.
If you don’t have a SignUpGenius account but would like to create one, simply click that Log in link, and then click the New account link, circled in red below, and follow the steps to register. (It’s easy.)
Whether or not you are logged in, click the Sign Up button on the slot you choose. The button text will change to ✓ Selected. To proceed, click the Save & Continue button at the bottom:
If you are not logged in, you will be given the opportunity to Login now, but logging in is optional. You can instead enter your name and email address, as shown in the Sign Me Up window screenshot below:
If you are signing up to play just for yourself, you should leave the Quantity set to 1. You would normally leave the My Comment field blank, unless there is some information that you want to provide such as “might be 10 minutes late”.
If you are signing up for yourself plus a second member, you can enter Quantity 2, and add the name of the second player into the My Comment field, e.g. as shown circled in red in the above screenshot. Although the app may allow you to enter a Quantity greater than 2, the CSA sign up policy limits you to just 2, and both need to be CSA members.
If you are logged in, the Sign Me Up window will look somewhat different, as shown in the screenshot below. In this case, because you are logged in, the system knows your name and email address, so you don’t need to enter these, although you can enter an alternate name if you are signing up for another CSA member.
The next step in either case is to click Sign Up Now. This should result in a confirmation windows, as shown below:
Click Back to Sign Up to return to the sign up page, where you should now see your name listed in the slot that you selected, e.g. as shown in the screenshot below:
In the above example, there are added buttons beside my name. These appear only because I was logged into SignUpGenius when I signed up for this slot. The first button (pencil icon) is for editing the signup, e.g. to change the name or the number of participants. The button X is for deleting the entry. So having these extra buttons is the advantage of having a SignUpGenius account and logging in to that account.
If you are not logged in, but want to delete or modify your signup, the procedure instead is to directly email one of the volunteers at pickleball@canmoreseniors.org, or else click the Change my sign up button near the top, as shown in the screenshot below:
Be sure to read and comply with the information included in the email invitation to sign up you received by email, and in the header at the top of the sign up page e.g. as included in the above screenshot.
Note that using the Sign Up link in the invitation email is, on the Thursday you receive the email, a convenient way to get to the right place in the SignUpGenius website. It is less convenient, however, when you want to revisit the SignUpGenius website e.g. on the following Sunday in order to book an additional session. You can go back to your email and find that link, but you can also simply go to the signupgenius.com website and log in.
The SignUpGenius App
The SignUpGenius App is no longer available from the iOS App Store or the Google Play store, although if you already have it on your device it may continue to work.
To make access to the website quicker on your mobile device, you can bookmark the site or add it to your home screen. When you add the mobile site (m.signupgenius.com) you are adding a Progressive Web App (PWA), which works almost exactly like the now-discontinued app store app.
iPhone, iPad
To add the PWA with an icon on the home screen of an iPhone or iPad:
in Chrome or Safari, go to the web page m.signupgenius.com.
If you are signed in, then sign out.
Click the Share button, at the bottom-middle if Safari, or at the top-right on Chrome, as shown below:
Select Add to Home Screen as shown (in Chrome) below:
Change the title to SignUpGenius, and click Add, as shown below (you may or may not see the SignUpGenius icon):
After adding the icon, the first time you use it you will need to log in, but you will stay logged in after that.
Android
On an Android phone, the procedure is very similar to the iPhone. In Chrome, go to the web page m.signupgenius.com. If you are signed in, then sign out.
Then click the three vertical dots to pop up a menu and choose Add to Home screen. You may want to shorten the name to just SignUpGenius. Then click Install:
After adding the icon, the first time you use it you will need to log in, but you will stay logged in after that.
