Rakuten Eagles Internet Registry

A quick rundown of the form, from top to bottom.

Mail Address - This asks for you to enter a vailid e-mail address twice. The second time is to try to catch mis-types.

User ID - Select either the first option, to use your e-mail address as your user ID, or the second option, where you may enter your own handle name for a user ID. They recommend the first option.

Password - Enter a password of at least 6 characters (standard alpha-numeric and some special characters, avoid characters not usually available to non-U.S. keyboards).

Secret Question - choose one of (in order):

• Parents wedding anniversary
• School graduated from
• Favorite team name
• Pet's name
• Mother's maden name
Last 4 digits of driver's license number
• Title of favorite movie

Answer to Secret Questions - The above selection will be sent to your e-mail address if you request your password (forgotten password feature). What you enter here is what the system will expect as a response.

There is then another section under the first section, this one with two rows in it. The first row asks for your Family Name and Given Name in Kanji (I don't know if it will accept alphabetic character or not.) The second row asks for the same in Katakana (again, I don't know if it does a character-set check, but since it's a required field, it may). If there is a check on the second part, try to copy the following (between quotes) to both of the second row's fields: "ア".

Next is the button to submit, followed by the EULA (End User License Agreement). I don't have the time to translate that, but basically you've just signed up for all Rakuten group sites (although there may be additional information necessary for some group sites). It does specifically forbit giving out user names/passwords to others, so it would not be a good idea for someone to do this. They also make no guarantees that any of the information you've provided will be safe.

I also notice that there is no check box to opt out of mailings. Assume the worst in that if you like.

Well, let us know how this goes.

Can anybody post a link to the registration page? I can't seem to find it.

You can watch the games the next day or any day after it is played without having to register. Just go to the page were the games are at and follow these steps:

1. Games with dates and results on the left with three red bars are archived full games.


2. Click the 2nd red bar to watch the game in full. The other two bars are pre and post game shows.

They keep their current home stand on archived viewing until the next one starts to replace that archive.

It is much easier then trying to register.
