Hello to all new and veteran coaches. Hopefully, the following advice answers questions about how to use MySportsResults.com and the EZ Meet Services websites for the 2009-10 Indoor Track and Field Season.
The MySportsResults.com website continues to provide the latest meet news and results as well as seasonal records similar to the past ten years.
The EZ Meet Services website is offered as a service for coaches by MySportsResults.com for several scheduled Indoor T&F Featured Meets this season to make it easier to find all the meet details at each Featured Meet’s website, including how to register for the meet.
We also provide information on the meet schedule about several other meets where you can contact the meet director for further information.
Use the Featured Meet website links to visit a meet website and read about Meet Information and Registration Instructions as well as Order of Events, Meet Records and Meet Reports. The links to Featured Meet websites are added to the schedule after meet details are approved by the meet director.
For many of the scheduled Featured Meets, we employ a 2-step registration;
1) a simple online Intent to Enter form to signify your desire to attend and
2) Event Entry using the Head Count system hosted by the National Scholastic Sports Foundation (NSSF). This is the same registration system used for the Nike XC, Indoor and Outdoor National meets.
In the Head Count system, as a new coach, you will need to establish your own user account so that you have secured control over your entries for any of our Featured Meets. Once at the Head Count site, use the Head Count Sign-Up link in the upper right corner to establish your user account before entering your athletes and subsequently entering into meets.
Many veteran coaches can use their existing Head Count user accounts and team rosters from previous XC and/or T&F seasons. Make sure to update any changes to existing athlete data (spelling of names, etc.) or to add new team members before making meet event entries.
Both new and veteran coaches should take advantage of the detailed online Head Count Coaches' Entry Guide available in their Help link (bottom of Head Count website page) that you should print/read before starting your entries.
Once you setup and finalize a roster under your Head Count user account, you will be able to use that same roster for any meet listed on the Head Count site.
If you still have questions or comments about Featured Meets, please contact me at: meetadmin@mysportsresults.com. Make sure to provide sufficient details in your email so that complete responses can be quickly provided.
