Note: The system will only accept dates in the following formats: MM-DD-YY or MM/DD/YY. Games do not have to be entered in sequential order, because once the schedule has been saved, the system will automatically sort the games/matches in chronological order.

Enter the first couple of letters for the opponent, scroll down until you find the opponent, highlight it, then click OK.

List each date your team will be playing on separate lines and use the opponent code or TBA for every line.

Neutral Site City If you select Neutral for the location, enter ONLY the name of the city in the box. Do not include the name of the facility. Neutral Site State After entering the neutral site city, use the dropdown in the Neutral Site State column to find the two-letter state abbreviation.
