Users Definition: 

Support methods: Support ticket system & Superuser of their region

Users are defined as the remaining local and regional registrars across the country during a hockey season.

Operational vs Technical Tickets

Operational tickets are problems or issues related to the rules, workflows, and/or anything ‘’not technical’’ affecting the operations of the registrar. These tickets will be assigned to the right superuser. In counterpart, technical tickets are problems or issues, normal incidents, security incidents that are caused by the platform like a bug, a training issue, refresher, downtime, or anything related to the usage of the platform itself. 

Customer support service hours

Spordle will provide a 7 day a week direct phone line from 8 to 8 MT that will be readily available for super users. Our support team will also be available from 8 to 8 MT via customer support demands and direct chat.

Resources

The customer support process will therefore be as follows: Spordle will directly support super users, who will in turn directly support users. Spordle will also provide documentation, training material, and webinars for users as well as accept support requests received via the Spordle Help Desk widget integrated within the HCR 3.0.

  • 3 Dedicated Product Specialists* (Agents) covering coast-to-coast service needs (weekdays from 8 to 8 MT).  

  • All calls during the weekend will go through the Tier 1 call center. Standby agent available during weekends to manage emergencies. During the weekend hours, a designated agent will monitor incoming requests. This agent will manage all requests considered urgent (Priority 1 and 2). 

  • The Tier 1 call center will also be called upon during the week in the event that the 2 dedicated product specialists and other Spordle support agents are not available as they are already on calls.

Security questions for Superuser 1-800 support

Spordle ID admin and superuser accounts will be created/managed/removed by Spordle Customer Experience Team upon formal request from Hockey Canada account representatives. The periodic review of all admin and superuser accounts and privileges is under the responsibility of Hockey Canada. Admin and super users will acknowledge at the first login the Spordle Inc. terms & conditions which include the password, acceptable use, and incident policy. Clients (Users) will follow Hockey Canada password, acceptable use, and incident policy. Spordle Inc. manages HCR 3.0 client data security, backups, retention, and destruction when formally requested by Hockey Canada.
