Important - New Registration and Rostering Resources for Associations (2026-03-17)

LIAM FROMENT

2026-03-17

Hello Baseball Alberta Associations,

We have added a new support section to help Associations make sure members are being registered properly in Spordle iD.

This resource is meant to walk you through the correct process for:

• online registration setup

• managing members

• manually adding or importing members when needed

• rostering players, coaches, and OFMs properly

Please review this section carefully and use it as your main reference moving forward.

It is very important that all members are registered properly in the system. If an issue arises and a member is not properly registered, Baseball Alberta cannot provide support to that individual. These steps are also important for the safety and protection of all members.

Please remember that once a player, coach, or OFM takes part in any Baseball Alberta team activity, they must be properly registered and rostered in Spordle iD in order to be recognized and covered.

Criminal record checks must also be collected and validated by the Association for all coaches and managers listed on rosters. This can be reviewed in Spordle iD under the member profile.

You can find the new registration resource here:

Managing Registrations & Members in Spordle iD

You can also find the roster section within the Association Getting Started guide here:

Getting Started: Managing Rosters

I have also put together a quick video recapping some of the updates and key information:

Sharing Online Registration Stores + Underage Player Roster Requests (2026-01-26)

LIAM FROMENT

2026-01-26

Hello everyone,

Just a quick note to share a few administrative updates that can be requested through the BA office.

Sharing Registration Stores and Temporary Transfers

If your association anticipates players from another association wishing to participate in your tryouts, please contact me directly. I will ensure that the appropriate registration access is arranged so that those players are able to complete a temporary transfer for tryout registration purposes.

Please note that this process applies strictly to tryout registration. If your association has a final registration store open for the exact category of the player, they must complete the standard transfer procedure before registering with your association and being added to a team.

Underage player roster additions

We are currently working on a system feature to request a player classification change. In the meantime, if you need to roster an underage player, please email me with:

• Player name + Spordle ID

• Team name + Team ID (the team you want them added to)

I will complete the roster addition for you.

Best,

Liam Froment, Digital Media Director

Updated Player Transfer Process - 2026 Season (2026-01-09)

LIAM FROMENT

2026-01-09

Hello everyone,

For the 2026 season, Baseball Alberta has updated the Player Transfer Process (Provincial League AA, AAA & BAEL) to improve clarity and reduce manual steps.

What’s changed

• Player transfers will follow a two-association approval model in Spordle iD

• If both the outgoing and incoming associations approve, the transfer is automatically approved by Baseball Alberta

• When a transfer is completed fully in Spordle iD, there is no requirement to upload a signed transfer form

What stays the same

• Residency, eligibility, and transfer/import rules remain unchanged

• Appeals are required if the outgoing association denies a transfer

• Players/families must complete the Appeal Request Form to start the appeal process

• Manual Transfer Forms are still required in specific situations (see below)

Important note

If a player is already listed in Spordle as Primary with the incoming association, the Spordle transfer workflow cannot be used.

In these cases:

• A Manual Transfer Form must be completed

• The form must be signed by both associations

• The completed form must be uploaded to the player’s Spordle profile under Documents for roster verification

• This upload may be completed by the player/family or the Primary Association

*See specific special case example at the link below

The full transfer process and rules are available here:

https://handbook.baseballalberta.com/rules-regulations/roster-requirements/player-transfers

For Association Admins in Spordle iD, a short walkthrough video is also available outlining the updated process from a Spordle admin perspective:

Transfer Vocabulary within the Spordle iD system

Transfer terms have been updated in the Spordle iD system!

Currently, the terms are defined as follows:

Permanent Release
A permanent change of a player’s Primary organization. This removes all Shared organizations and assigns a new Primary organization.

Permanent Share
Adds an organization as a Shared organization on the player’s profile while keeping the existing Primary organization unchanged. The shared access remains in place until it is removed.

Temporary Share
Adds an organization as a Shared organization for one season only. The shared access is automatically removed when the next season begins.

Primary organization
The Primary organization has full control of the player’s profile, including editing information, registration, and rostering. A player can only have one Primary organization at a time.

Shared organization
A Shared organization has limited access to the player’s profile and can roster and register the player. Shared organization cannot change the player’s Primary organization. Members can have multiple shared organizations.

Thank you for your continued cooperation as we work to simplify processes while maintaining consistency across the province. If you have questions after reviewing the materials above, please reach out.
