Auto-Post Points from Districts and Nationals

Points earned at the National Tournament remain unposted until they are approved. After you renew, please log in to your account page, visit your school roster, and allocate points to the appropriate coaches. Check out the FAQ below and reach out if you have further questions!
  • How do I post points? If there are auto-post points available to post, when you click "Enter Points," from the left menu on your account page, you will see a table of any points ready to be posted. Check that the coach you want to receive the coaching points is listed and then click the "Confirm" button for each entry.
  • How do I know what the points are from? A blue D will appear in the category column for districts and a blue N will appear for points earned at the National Tournament.
  • What if I already entered them manually? If there is an entry listed that you have already manually entered, you can click the "Ignore" button and the entry will disappear from the list. Remember, points from districts and Nationals have higher point values than a manually entered entry!
