Registration Submission

Importing Coaches to Registration Form

Import coaches to the registration form. Once imported, additional constraints may be applied such as validating coach information against meet requirements. Although they may have been imported initially, additional validation screening will prevent adding coaches to the cart if they show a red error icon (❌) next to their name.

Additional Validation Screening

Similar to the import phase, a red error icon (❌) may still appear next to coach names if they fail current validation logic, such as:

  • Meet-specific requirements not being met

  • Missing required information for the specific meet

Submission Process

Before Adding to Cart:

  1. Ensure there are no red error icons (❌) next to coach names

  2. Double-check all coach information for accuracy

  3. Verify all meet-specific requirements are satisfied

Adding to Cart and Payment:

  1. Only coaches with green checkmarks (βœ…) can be added to your registration cart

  2. Proceed to My Cart to review and complete payment

  3. Registration is submitted to meet organizer for approval

After Registration

Status Tracking:

  • Submitted - Sent to organizer for review

  • Pending - Awaiting organizer acceptance

  • Accepted - Approved for the meet (payment processed if applicable)

  • Waitlisted - On waitlist pending acceptance

  • Rejected - Not accepted (can reapply or modify)

Modifications:

You can only modify coach information if they are:

  • Not yet submitted for registration

  • Have been rejected by the organizer

If coaches are pending acceptance, waitlisted, or accepted, you will no longer be able to modify their information through the registration form.
