  1. In the Head Coach Dashboard, under “Registration” you can also register teams or add additional coaches if necessary. Please ensure that your team name does NOT use abbreviations. So please do not abbreviate Bozeman High School to BHS. 
  2. Under “Compliance,” please click on Students/Team/Event Assignment, which will enable you to add students to your teams and then assign students to events. This step is critical in helping us plan logistics, however we know that the names of students in events may change before the event date and this is fine. Adding students to events that you intend to participate in will allow us to see how many students to expect in each event.
