SABR.org Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I become a member of SABR?
Q: How do I log in to SABR.org?
A: You can log in to SABR's website with your primary e-mail address. The login screen looks like this. If you have multiple e-mail addresses, use your primary address on file with us.
New members automatically get the password "password1" and are asked to change it once they log in for the first time. Longtime members should continue using their old passwords.
Note: The new system requires that all passwords are at least 6 characters long, so if yours was too short, we've appended "sabr1" to the end. So if your old password was "dog", it's now "dogsabr1". You can change your password at any time by going to the SABR Store and selecting "My Information".
Q: How do I use SABRNation?
A: When you first visit sabrnation.sabr.org, you will log in using the same e-mail address and password as above. You'll go through a one-time welcome process, then be taken to what's called the Dashboard. This is where everyone starts; it looks like this. If you look at the menu on the left, you can see the option "My Groups". If you click there, it will give you a list of all committee and chapters in which you are a member. Then select the group you wish to work with.
SABRNation combines a few different features from our old website, but they're now all in one place. Each regional chapter and research committee has its own group, and that's where members can participate in a discussion forum, find out about upcoming events, read newsletters or look for other members.
In addition, there are two main discussion groups for all SABR members: one is called SABRNation, for all-purpose baseball discussion — like wandering the hotel lobby during the convention on a daily basis — and the other is called SABR Bulletin, for timely updates of all the organization's goings-on (including many of your favorite SABR Bulletin features, such as the Spirit of SABR Salute, the SABR Bookshelf, and more.)
Q: How do I change what I receive by email from SABRNation?

Q: I don't want to be in the SABRNation discussion group - how can I leave it?

Q: How do I join a regional chapter or research committee?
A: Click here to access the Groups page on SABRNation. Search for the name of a chapter or committee, select its page, then click "Join Group". You can then participate in that group's discussion threads, find out about events, download newsletters or search for other members in the group. You will automatically receive e-mail notifications when you join a group. (To modify your settings, click here.)
Q: How can I find out about upcoming events in my area?
A: You can visit our Events page at SABR.org/events for a calendar of all upcoming events. This page includes information on our annual events, such as the SABR national convention, Analytics Conference, Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference, Frederick Ivor-Campbell 19th Century Base Ball Conference, Arizona Fall League Conference and SABR Day. We also include speaking engagements, book signings, and other events that may be of interest to SABR members. To add an event to our calendar, contact Jacob Pomrenke at jpomrenke@sabr.org.
Q: How can I search for people using the online members directory?
A: Search for any member by going to this page; type in a first or last name, city, state, phone number or e-mail address, then click "search". (Hint: It often helps to just type in a last name, or even a partial last name, to find who you're looking for. For instance, SABR's late founder Bob Davids was known to his many friends by that name, but in our membership system, he was always listed as "L. Robert Davids". So searching for "Bob" as first name and "Davids" as last name in the directory would turn up zero results. If you just search for "Davids" as last name in the directory, you would be able to find him.)
Q: How do I renew my membership, register for a conference or purchase SABR publications?
A: You can renew membership, register for conferences or conventions, or purchase publications at the SABR Store.
Q: How do I change my password or my contact information, such as address, phone number or e-mail?
A: Go to http://store.sabr.org and click “My Information” to make changes to your address, phone number, e-mail or password. The default password for new members is “password1”. All new passwords must be at least 6 characters long — remember to save your changes! If you do not know your current password, click the link that says “Forgot your password?” and an e-mail will be sent to you with instructions to reset your password.
Q: How do I register for the SABR convention?
A: You can register for any upcoming conference or convention using the SABR store. For more information on the SABR convention, visit SABR.org/convention.
Q: Where can I find organizational files, such as the Board minutes, the SABR-L Moderator's Note or Publication Guidelines?
A: Click here to access the Members' Info page or look for the link that says "Members' Home" in the upper-right corner of our website.
Q: Where can I post research requests or classified ads?
A: For research requests or classifieds, use this group called Classifieds in SABRNation and click "Add announcement" on the right side to create a new post.
