Q: Who is allowed to update information on this website?
A: Coaches or designated team representatives are the only
users allowed to change information on the IHSLA.org website. Each team is supposed
to have one user assigned to update their scores, team information, rosters, stats,
etc.
Q: I am a coach / team representative. How do I register
for an account?
A: To ensure security and data integrity, registration
is a multi-step process. First, navigate to the login screen by clicking on the
"Login" link at the bottom of any page. Then click the link "Register for a team
administration account" under the login dialogue box. At the registration page,
fill out the fields and click the submit button. The website administrator will
then review your request and email you confirmation of your authorization level.
Once you have been approved for editing, you can click any edit icon and start updating
your team information.
Q: What happens if I forgot my password?
A: The security system used by the IHSLA website does not
permit recovery of an existing password. It does, however, provide a means for the
registered user to reset his/her password.
Step 1: Navigate to the Login page, the click the "Forgot your password?" link.
You are presented with a password reset screen where you must supply your username.
When you submit, the system will send a new password to your email address and your
previous password will become obsolete.
Step 2: Go to your email account and retreive the email message from webmaster@ihsla.org.
The email message will provide a new password that is a string of characters that
looks like jibberish. This jibberish IS YOUR NEW PASSWORD.
Step 3. Navigate back to the login screen on the IHSLA.org website. Login using
your username and the new jibberish password. I find that a copy-and-paste works
well here since the string of characters is almost impossible to duplicate by hand.
Step 4. After a successful login, you should choose a new, more memorable password
by clicking on the "My Profile" link at the bottom of any page. Click the "edit"
link next to your password to store a new password for your account. Check it by
logging out, then logging back in using the new password you just chose.
Q: How to I change my password?
A: Registered users are allowed to choose a new password.
You must know your current password and the answer to your secret question to change
it. Follow these steps:
Step 1: After you've logged in, click on the "My Profile" link at the bottom of
any page.
Step 2: On the My Profile page, click the "edit" link next to your password.
Step 3. On the Change Password page, fill out the change password dialogue and click
"Submit". Remember, the new password still must meet the same restrictions as your
original password (at least 7 characters, one of which must be a non-alphanumeric
character). Write down your new password and keep it in a safe place.
Step 4. You will stay logged in, but your new password will be in effect and your
old password will be obsolete. Check it by logging out, then logging back in using
the new password you just chose.
Q: What happens if I forgot my username?
A: The IHSLA.org security system does not automatically
provide a way to recover your username. Email the website administrator using the
"Contact Us" page to request a forgotten username.
Q: How do I report game scores?
A: Games scores are now updated by the coaches and team
representatives themselves directly through the website. Scores may only be updated
by registered users with Coach's level authorization or above. To change a score,
click on the edit icon
next to the game you want to update. At the edit page, click the "Edit" button to
change the scores and the game status, then click the "Update" button to save the
changes. Please note: league and conference standings are computed from games that
have a status of "Final". Failure to set the status to "Final" will cause the game
to be ignored by the standings engine.
Q: My team information is wrong. How can I change it?
A: Team information, such as team website URL's, school
contact information, coach's names and bios, school history, etc. can be changed
by any registered user with a Coach's level authorization or higher. Navigate to
the Team Detail page by clicking on a team link (either on the Teams page or in
a game record). Click on the edit icon ()
in the middle of the page to change any of the school-related information.
Q: Why doesn't my school show up in the standings?
A: The league standings are recomputed automatically whenever
new game scores are entered by the coaches and team representatives. The most likely reason your school
does not show up in the standings is because the game scores were not entered
or the game status fields were not set to "Final".
Q: How do I enter player stats?
A: Player stats may be updated only by registered users
with Coach's level authorization or above. Player stats are found in the roster
table on the Team Detail page. Stats can be edited by clicking the edit icon () on the roster
record. If no players exist in the roster, enter the first player by clicking the
"Add a player" link on the roster list. Please note: the ISHLA.org stats are cumulative
stats for varsity games only. The system does not keep track of game-by-game stats,
JV stats, or Freshman stats at this time.
Q: How do I change the dates/times/location of a game?
Q: How do I cancel a game?
Q: How do I postpone a game?
A: All game scheduling (dates, times, locations, teams),
postponements, and cancellations are made by a specially designated league administrator.
Coaches and team representatives may not update the game schedules on the IHSLA
website. Please call or email Linda Bertelson at Lacrosse America to make any changes
to a game schedule, to postpone a game, or to cancel a game. By doing so, the IHSLA
website and the GLLOA website that assigns officials to the games will be properly
synchronized.
