What is School Strength? The number of entries a school can bring to the district tournament is limited based upon the school’s overall strength. A school’s total strength is equal to the top 3 active, paid coach degrees plus ALL the active, paid student degrees. Only members with an email address attached to their account can contribute to a school’s strength, so make sure your members provide an email address! A student can enter their own email address when they sign up for an account, or an advisor or coach with permissions can add it when creating an account from the student roster. For an example of strength, please see this illustrated guide.
