Electronic Scoring

League bocce play will use electronic scoring.

For electronic scoring security, each team is assigned a four digit team Identification Number (TIN). To score a match, a player needs to enter the TIN for one of the teams playing the match. This is to prevent mischievous outsiders from messing with our scores. TIN's change every season. Your TIN is displayed on your team signup page, and on your team schedule and roster pages during the season. You may freely share your TIN with your players, but it should not be shared outside your team.

Background

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is the governing body for internet standards, including email standards. Over the past several years the IETF has put forward protocols for limiting spam email, and email providers have been implementing the IETF recommendations.

How We are Affected

The Clayton Bocce website (ClaytonBocce.org) automatically generates emails to capos for various events such as score updates, match cancellations and team registrations. The main impact of the IETF email protocols on our website is that email sent from ClaytonBocce.org must have a "from" address in the form name@ClaytonBocce.org. In the past the website has been sending emails from ClaytonBocce@gmail.com, which is the main correspondence address for all things relating to Clayton bocce and cornhole. But as email providers have implemented the IETF protocols, more and more of our emails are being blocked.

What is Changing?

From now on, all emails generated by the ClaytonBocce.org website will be from info@ClaytonBocce.org. We will continue to use ClaytonBocce@gmail.com for all interactive emails. To submit questions or comments to the Bocce/Cornhole committee, please email to ClaytonBocce@gmail.com or use the website Contact Us form. Please DO NOT send email to info@ClaytonBocce.org, as this mailbox will not be monitored. Please DO ENSURE that you whitelist info@ClaytonBocce.org for your mailbox.

Microsoft No Longer Supported

Microsoft no longer supports federated logins. We can now accept only Google or Facebook account links.

Federated Login

Website access control systems can be quite complicated: userids, passwords, secret questions, password resets, two-factor authentication and more. For the ClaytonBocce.org website we decided not to include another access control system; instead we will use well known existing systems. If you are issued a ClaytonBocce.org account, you will need to have a Google or Facebook account, and you will login using your Google or Facebook userid and password. The technical term for this is Federated Login. We did this for two reasons:

1. These two providers have full-featured, robust, and secure access control systems.
2. Many persons have an account on one of these systems. By leveraging their existing account, they can avoid having yet another userid and password to remember.

How it Works

The process for logging in to ClaytonBocce.org:

1. Click Login in the upper right of this page.
2. On the login page click one of the three buttons to select the login service you wish to use: Google or Facebook.
3. Login on your selected service. (This step may be skipped if you are already logged in to the service.) The first time you login you may be asked to authorize Clayton Bocce to link to your account. After you login you will be returned to the Clayton Bocce website.
4. You will only need to do this the first time you login. Register your Google or Facebook account with your Clayton Bocce account. When your ClaytonBocce.org account is set up, you will receive an email with a one-time registration code. Enter your one-time registration code on the registration page and click the Register button. This will create a link between your Google or Facebook account and your ClaytonBocce.org account.

Notes

• The ClaytonBocce.org login page has a checkbox labeled Remember Me. If you are using a private computer, you may want to check the Remember Me box on the login page. This will cause your browser to store your login credentials on your computer and automatically log you in when you access the Clayton Bocce website. Note: your login credentials are sensitive, so you must use https for automatic login. (ie. https://ClaytonBocce.org).
• This website does not access any of the information in your Google or Facebook account. Your contact list, calendar, friend list, etc. are not visible to this website. Your userid and password are not passed to this website.
• When you are logged in, Login in the upper right corner will be replaced by your name. Click or hover over your name to open a pop-up menu where you may logout or view and update your account profile.

What If I Do Not have a Google or Facebook account?

We anticipate that most bocce league members will have a Google or Facebook account. If you do not have one you will need to create one. The alternative would be for the bocce website to have its own userids and passwords, but then you would have to create one of those, so what's to be gained?

Google accounts are simpler than Facebook, so if you just need an account to access the bocce website, we suggest a Google account.

• To create a Google account:
  • Go to the Google Home page.
  • Click the Sign in button in the upper right corner.
  • Enter your email address, click Create account and select the type of account.
  • Click the Next button and follow the prompts to enter your information.
• To create a Facebook account:
  • Go to the Facebook Login page.
  • Click the Create new account button.
  • Fill in your inforamtion and click the Sign Up button.
