1. Overview

The BTSH website serves as a central hub for our ball hockey league. It provides information on team rosters, schedules, game results, and statistics. Registered users may access additional features such as setting game attendance and contributing media content.

2. User Accounts

Accounts may be created either by the user or by an administrator. By registering, you agree to provide accurate and complete information, including your name, email address, and gender. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity under your account.

Captains have access to additional tools to view and manage attendance for their team.

3. Privacy

We collect minimal personal data — specifically your name, email address, and gender — solely for internal use related to league operations. For more details, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

We use third-party services such as Sentry (for error tracking) and Google Analytics (for traffic monitoring) to maintain and improve the Site. These services may collect anonymized technical data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

4. Fees and Payments

While there are no charges or purchases made through the Site, participation in the BTSH league requires an annual team fee. This fee is collected separately from the website and goes toward league operations, equipment, permits, website maintenance, and related expenses.
