Everything we've done and everything that is coming

I can't believe we've just ended our 9th year serving this wonderful community!
The future could not be be more exciting! Over the years we've seen many companies and trends come and go (anyone remember Leet?), but we've always prided ourselves with being honest and forthright about our business plan and treating every school like they were our biggest client. It is clear you have respected this approach and we are excited to serve over 1200 schools now for Intramurals alone!
Please take our survey here or put together a list of your ideas and send them over if you have a chance. Everything we build is for you we just need your guidance, let's dream up the greatest website/app ever together!
Also if you haven't done so yet today, definitely log in and check out IMLeagues (or at least check out image above!). We just employed the next installment of our overhaul and redesign. Keep in mind we are only approximately 25% complete with the entire project but I think you'll love this newest update - heck we were already getting some great reviews with our previous update that was only 10% complete haha.
Being the end of the year we wanted to take this opportunity not only to tell you about all the great things coming this Summer, but all take a look back at how much we've done throughout the school year. Hint: It is a ton so I tried to break things down into sections! (Also, since we add so much to the site every year please don't hesitate to ask if you'd like a refresher walkthrough, there are almost always features that we have that you aren't using that would help your program. We probably hear "Oh awesome I didn't know you had that feature" daily!)

IMLeagues/REC*IT Gives Back Over $100,000:
We appreciate being a part of this community more than you can ever imagine, because of that we strive to give back to the community as much as possible. So far IMLeagues/REC*IT has given over 100K in scholarships, equipment, and prizes throughout our giveaways and contests...not to mention some killer parties at conference! :)
What's Coming (or already has come) IMLeagues Summer 2016:
- Clean Modern Design (See screenshot above): We've modeled our redesign both off the leading social sites (think facebook and twitter) as well as leading sports site (ESPN) - I'm sure you'll notice many aspects now when you look for them. This ensures users have have a familiar and inherently intuitive experience using IMLeagues.
- Social (50% Complete already on live!): Speaking of social that is exactly what we are implementing on IMLeagues. The best way to maximize participation is through engagement and the best way to achieve engagement is by fostering a social environment. We've launched an IMLeagues feed where you can post content, polls, photos, etc. Of course we're not going to try and beat the biggest social networks at their own game - instead we'll allow you to sync up all your favorite social media sites into IMLeagues. Content will then be seamlessly linked between IMLeagues and all your social sites in a 2 way manner.
- Messaging: Again Speaking of social haha. Of course messaging will be a key piece of our social feed, but we're going so much beyond that. We're talking tracking open rates across email, site, and App!
- Forfeit Fees - No More Refunds!: Store Card Info but only charge the card when necessary.
- SubItUp Ref Scheduling Integration: Reach out to us if you use SubItUp to get started!
