State Meet Online Entry Information
* 2010 VHSL Group AAA State Indoor Championships entries will be done online through MileStat.com and the MileSplit registration system.
* While all regions will be submitting their entries electronically through the online registration system with a common deadline on Sunday, your regional meet director may still require you to submit verification forms and paper entry forms at the conclusion. Contact your regional director to see if this is the case.
* Regional representatives will provide coaches in their region with a password which will be required when attempting to register for the meet. This prevents teams outside of the region or those with team admin access to your team pages from having access to state meet entries or enter the meet.
* Entries will be immediately open once the regional championship results have been posted and entered in the MileStat.com database (expect no more than a 2 hour window if not much sooner after completion of meet). This way all of the entries for state meet will be season best performances recorded through the regional meet.
* The entry deadline is 12:59 PM on Sunday, February 21st.
* Entry system will not allow coaches to override and manual input a time/mark. System will automatically generate the athlete or relay's season best performance according to the MileStat.com database. So make sure your season best performances are currently reflected on the site.
* When entering relays, make sure you select the check boxes of all potential relay legs (especially legs not already entered in individual events) to insure they are part of your state meet team roster. You cannot run an athlete in a relay at the state championships who is not part of your state meet roster so this is an important instruction to follow!
* Make sure all of your entered athletes have the correct spelling and graduation years listed. You can edit your roster by visiting your team page on MileStat.com and clicking on the Team Admin link on the top right corner of the page (when logged in).
