New and exciting changes at Judo Ontario

How do I become the Dojo Shu or an Administrator for my club?
When you originally signed up for an account on this website, the system automatically gives you the option to select yourself as the Dojo Shu IF there is no Dojo Shu assigned to the club already. Please make sure you have requested Judo Ontario to add your club prior to registering yourself.

If you are starting a new club and wish to associate yourself as the Dojo Shu to the new club, please send us a Support Ticket and we will make the appropriate modifications in the database.

Only a Dojo Shu can set up administrators. Log-in to your account, under Dojo Shu tools is a link called 'Administrators'. You can then perform a search of names in the database to find the person you wish to add as an administrator. Once you find the name, simply click on it to add them. You can add or remove administrators at any time.

How do I, as a Dojo Shu, modify my club members profile information?
First, make sure you are in fact registered as the Dojo Shu or one of the administrators for your club. Log-in to your personal account by entering your unqiue Username and Password (at the top of the screen) and clicking GO.

This will push you into your personal profile, and provide you with a tab button to view your club profile. Click the Club Profile tab. Scroll down and you will see a list of all the Judo Ontario members who are calling your club home. Click on any one of their names to reveal their personal information. You can now edit most of the profile information (not the Date of Birth), and finish any changes by Saving the changes.

VERY IMPORTANT: when a member of your club is promoted, be sure to log-in to your account and modify the members belt in their profile! This is particularly important prior to registration for a tournament such as Hatashita, as the online registration system relies on the registrants profile information to determine what divisions they are eligible for.

Some of the members of my club do not have Internet access, what can they do to register/renewal their membership to Judo Ontario or register for an event?
Judo Ontario can perform manual transactions and entries into the online system. You will need to fill out an application and send it to Judo Ontario with your payment. However, in order to accurately keep track of paid membership and avoid any issues at events, as well as take advantage of the tools we are providing the membership, it is very important to have as many people as possible reflected in the online system. By using the online system, it also helps relieve some of the pressures from the Judo Ontario staff who are currently working very hard to stay on top of everything and allows them to focus on providing better service to the membership. Every person that adopts the online system is someone who is helping Judo Ontario progressively move forward.

I lost my Username and Password?
If you lost your Password, there is a Password Reset feature built into the system. At the top of the page click the Forgot Password link. This will allow you to change your password. It uses the email address in your profile to send you your new password. Make sure you write your Username and Password down so you have it handy for future use. We can't do much if you lost your Email, you will need to call (905) 571-2222 and ask for assistance.

Can I register a group for an upcoming event?
Judo Ontario is proud to announce we have developed the ability to perform group transactions. The system is very simple to use. Step 1 is to ensure that every member you wish to add to your group is registered on the website. Step 2, search for a specific Judoka using the search boxes provided. You can use either their first name and/or last name. THE SPELLING HAS TO BE EXACT. It does not matter if you use upper or lower case. Step 3, once you have found the member you wish to add to your group simple click on their name to add them. Names are bright orange. Once your group is complete click 'Continue'.

On the next screen, Step 4, you will need to select the division(s) each Judoka wishes to enter. Our system will only show you the divisions you qualify for based on that specific users profile (age and belt level). We have had instances of parents or Dojo Shu's who cannot enter the perceived proper division for a specific Judoka. Typically this is caused by the Dojo Shu not updating their members belt level in their club profile. It is VERY important that when a Dojo Shu promotes a member of their club to a new belt rank, that they accurately reflect this online as well, by logging into their account and clicking on 'Club Members' on the right. This will reveal a list of members associated with your club. Click on a member name to open their information. Select the new belt level from the pull down box and click 'Change Belt'. Done!

Once you have selected the divisions for each registrant in your group, click 'Continue' and follow the steps to complete the transaction. They have not changed from the individual registration system.
