If you do not have a MileSplit account:

• You will need to create one and enter your roster for your athletes. (It's free to create the account and enter your athletes)

• Once you do this one time, you can use the same roster for later races, even those hosted by other schools.  

• Be advised that you may just need to make some adjustments from one meet to the next, but once your athletes are entered in the system it is easy to make those adjustments. 

  • Create a free MileSplit Account

  • Claim your team (might take 24 hours for approval)

  • Edit your roster

  • Add the meet to your team's calendar

If you already have an MileSplit account and have already claimed your team: 

• You should have an invitation for the event.  

  • Accept the Invitation.  

  • If you do not have an invitation, you may search for the meet and request to join.  

• Check your rosters to make sure that all of your athletes are listed in the correct event.

• Submit your entries by the listed due date/time.

• **High School Varisty Coaches : IHSAA requires that rosters be submitted with the TFFRS ID, to ensure the results upload after the meet can go into the Direct Athletics system as well.  Instructions for this are in the next tab. 

High School Coaches Only: Simple, one-time process for getting your full IHSAA required rosters ready for us. 

STEP 1: Create your full roster of all athletes in DA, which generates each athlete's TFFRS ID (this is an IHSAA requirement for 2024)

• Every Wednesday the fantastic team at MileSplit will be importing from DA into the MileSplit system, which will bring their TFFRS ID with it. 

• From that point forward, any time you attempt to register an athlete in MileSplit, that TFFRS ID will go with them. 

What if I've entered an athlete in DA, but I'm getting an error message when I try to register them for an event in MileSplit? (For instance, you updated the roster in DA on a Monday, are trying to register on a Tuesday, and the weekly import to MileSplit has not happened yet)

• First, don't panic.  We will make sure your athletes can be entered for this meet and will make sure their results are uploaded in accordance with IHSAA requirements. 

• Go ahead and attempt to enter your athlete to their appropriate event. When the prompt appears, for you to submit their number, you have two options. 

  • 1) If you know the athlete's TFFRS ID, go ahead and enter their TFFRS ID right there....bingo, bango, donezo! 👍

• • 2) If you do not have their TFFRS ID available, enter a "0" (zero) into the box.  

    • • We know as a coach you are trying to register and want to get it done and off your mind.  

      • This will let you enter the athlete for now.  

      • Then when the AB Timing team downloads the entries to our scoring system, we will be able to check those entries for needed TFFRS IDs.  

      • We will look for any entries that show a "0" in that spot and we will handle the process of getting that TFFRS ID added for you.

That's it!  From this point forward you should be able to register that athlete for any future meets without that prompt appearing.  You will be ready to enter your athletes for any meet that we time for you, and we will be set up for proper upload of the results after the meet. 

**Be assured that results will be uploaded to DA in accordance with the IHSAA requirements.  We have confirmed our process will meet their requirements and all performances will be in the warehouse of data that will be used for the State Series at the end of the season. 

**If the TFFRS ID is not properly included in this step, then when we upload to DA at the end of the meet, the marks do not get properly attached to the athletes' records.  If there is a mistake on this part we can fix it after the fact but if it's done the first time then the process will run more efficiently.  

Please contact us if you would like some help with the process.  abtiming@gmail.com

For instance, you added an athlete at the meet who was just eligible the day before and you had not gotten them into DA yet.  Or if you have an athlete in the meet scoring software and has results posted but they just are not showing up in DA.

This problem has a simple solution.  We just need to verify they have the correct TFFRS ID attached .  

Fill out this form, and we will make sure that the TFFRS ID gets added to the scoring system database and reupload the results to DA.  We will also make sure the TFFRS ID does get attached to your athlete's account in the MileSplit system, in preparation for future meet entries. 

This process only needs to be done the first time.  After this, you can just add individual athletes in MileSplit platform if needed.

Once your roster is uploaded to your school's MileSplit account you can enter your athletes for your meet. 

At this time, this process will not work for high school accounts.  High School Coaches need to email the spreadsheet to me as outlined in the tab above.  This ensures that the TFFRS ID gets attached to your athletes' MileSplit record.  If this becomes an option in the near future, then this page will change to reflect that.

That's It!  You're done.  Your roster should be processed in just a few minutes.  

If you already have your rosters set up in your own spreadsheet, you can email me the Excel/Google Sheet File and we can handle it from there too as long as it has the required info.   

1. • HS coaches need to just be sure to include the TFFRS # with the First Name, Last Name, Gender, and Grade/Class.  Once you have your roster set up in DA, copy and paste that whole thing into a spreadsheet and send it to me.  We can handle it from there.  It might take 24 hours for your roster to show up with your team's account in MileSplit.

1. • Unified and Middle School coaches, there is no TFFRS # needed.   As long as we have your First Name, Last Name, Gender, and Grade/Class on a spreadsheet you can send it to me and we can handle it from there.  It might take 24 hours for your roster to show up with your team's account in MileSplit.
