MILESPLIT Online Registration Trouble Shooting Hints
1. Make sure that you are logged in. If you don’t know if you are check the right side of the gray navigation bar at the top of the page. If it says “Hello, (your name)” then you are logged in.
If it says “You are not logged in. Register or Login.” Then you are not logged in. Click on login, a box will drop, and you will be prompted to enter your username and password. Once you enter your username and password, click on the gray Login button. Once the page reloads it will say “Hello, (your name)” and you will be logged in.
If you do not have a username and password click on “Register” in the gray navigation bar and go through the process. It is best to use a home email account as opposed to a school email account because some school email accounts will filter out MileSplit emails (although you could ask your school tech person to allow emails from @milesplit.com and @ milesplit.us). Also if you do not receive your password within about a half hour or less, check your spam or junk folder of your email to see if the email was forwarded to this folder.
2. Navigate to the meet that you want to enter by going to the red navigation bar, scroll over teams, and then click on the season that you want to enter. Once on the meet calendar page you will see a list of meets sorted by date. Find the meet that you want to enter and click on the Meet Name in blue. This will take you to the Meet Page.
3. On the Meet page, click on the green box that says “Enter Online Now”. This will take you to the Online Registration Page.
4. If your Online Registration Page says “Registration Details” first and then has the meet information and a gray box that says “Enter Team >>”, click on the gray box to enter your team and follow the prompts.
If the next page has a black box that says “You Have Not Claimed Your Team,” follow the instructions below and type your school name into the box and click the blue “Search” link. A dropdown box will appear and you will need to select your team. Please double check that you are clicking on the right team! Check the name of the school against the city that it is located in. Once you do this follow the directions on how to claim a team and then wait for an email saying that you are approved. Most team approvals are done between 6-10pm, but some will be done during the day if possible.
If your Online Registration Page says “Already Entered” first, then says “(your team name) – View/Edit Entries” and then has the “Registration Details”, click on the View/Edit Entries link to go to the Event Entries Page.
5. On the Event Entries Page you will see “Online Registration: (school name)” at the top of the page. Below this you will have an off colored box that will say “You are entered in this meet. Your entries are below. You may update them up until (a certain date and time to enter). Print confirmation.” After you finish all of your entries click on the Print Confirmation link to print your Entry Confirmation. On the next page, in your browser go to file, and then print to print the page.
6. Also on the Event Entries Page, beneath the Print Confirmation box you will see a black bar on the left side of the screen that says “Event Entry.” Below this you will have all of the events listed and next to the name you will see a blue link that says “[Edit Entries]”. Click on this link to go through the entry procedure.
For individual events, simply check the box next to the name of the athlete that you want to enter into the event. On the right hand side of the screen the athlete will appear with a box to enter their seed mark/time. If the seed mark/time does not appear you will be able to enter one. In some meets you can override the given seed/mark, in other meets you will not be allowed to do this.
For relay events, simply click the gray box that says “Add New Relay”, your seed time will appear and then the page will reload and your athletes will appear to the right of the screen and you can select the athletes that you want to put into the relay and then select the order that they will run in (1,2,3,4).
7. On the Event Entries Page, if you do not see both genders to enter and the school is sending both a boys and girls team, you will need to change the Divisions that the school is entered in.
To do this, locate the black “Divisions Entered” bar. Below this will be something similar to: High School F, High School M, or High School F+M. If both a boys team and a girls team are attending the meet, then this area should say “High School F+M”, if it doesn’t then you need to click on the blue link that says “Edit Divisions Entered.”
On the “(school name) – Change Divisions Entered” Page you will see the word “Divisions” then a bar beneath it and then something along the lines of:
High School
Male - Not Entered Enter
Female - Entered Delete
In this instance, if you wanted to enter the boys team, you would simply click on the blue “Enter” link to enter the boys team into the meet.

REGION MEET REGULATIONS
1. A student must have participated in at least two regular season track meets prior to entering region qualifying leading to the State Meet. The High School League Executive Committee must make any exceptions.
2. Be sure that everyone clearly understands Rule 5-9-2. Being listed as one of the six members of a relay team does not count as an event unless the competitor actually participates. Remind them that an athlete may not participate in more than four events. He or she may be listed in two individual events and as a member of three relay teams. However, once this athlete participates in two of these relays he/she is not eligible for the other relay.
3. The rules for the pole vault must be enforced. Specifically, the vaulter’s weight shall be at or below the manufacturer’s pole rating. The manufacturer’s pole rating shall be visible in a one-inch contrasting color, as well as a one-inch circular band indicating the maximum top handhold position. Pole rating markings are to be located above the handhold band. The coach of a vaulter must verify that the athlete is utilizing the appropriate pole and must be able to certify the vaulter’s actual weight to the event judge. The weight of each vaulter must be supplied to the event judge and entered on the event sheet.
4. Schools must register their contestants (using both first and last names) with the region track chairperson by a date set by the chairperson. The region chairperson in turn will report all contestants to the Upper/Lower or Qualifier Meet Directors. The best performances of each event in region meets must be sent to the director of the Upper/Lower or Qualifier Meet. This information is requested in order that contestants may be placed in heats. A form will be sent to all track chairpersons for making this report. First and last names will be used in reporting all qualifiers.
5. The meet director should report region qualifiers to the Upper/Lower or Qualifier Meet Directors is within 48 hours of your region meet for all classes. A region may qualify four contestants in each event for the Upper/Lower or Qualifier Meet, and four contestants in each event will be qualified from these meets for the State Finals. No more than four contestants from any school may be entered in any event in the region meet. A school may enter one team in each relay.
6. In the event there are regions involved in the preliminaries having only one high school entered, the list of entries must be sent to the meet director at the time entries are sent by regions. No changes will be allowed by any school after the list has been received.
7. All throwing implements will be chosen/designated by the Meet Director and/or event judge for competition.
