Manual: Preface-Acknowledgements

The basic concepts associated with a Interactive Site have their roots in multiple places and have evolved substantially since the effort began in 1996. While many organizations and individuals have provided extremely valuable feedback, and we thank every one of them, we feel obligated to provide a heartfelt Acknowledgement to the following organizations:

Northshore Youth Soccer Association

Their early involvement proved that the concept of an "interactive operations Site" for a large group of Users with widely divergent interests could be implemented and used effectively. They were also the very first interactive "Operations site" with any kind of volume of users implemented at RidgeStar.

Our thanks go to them and the people behind their Organization.

East King County Soccer Referees Association

The very first Referee Management Site continues to be actively involved in concept development and implementation. Their willingness to test and experiment has been critical to the evolution of the very concept of a Referee Management Site.

EKCSRA had the vision to see how the Interactive Operations mechanism could be applied to Referee Assignment for the benefit of all participants and has been actively involved in improving the concepts and implementation.
