Once again, thanks everyone for your patience as I slowly get up to speed on being a TD.
As I mentioned in posts before, I will be running a scholastic OTB tournament in May for a local school. It will be two sections consisting of 14 total students (8 in one, 6 in the other due to grades/age differences).
I tried to use the online form to submit the members, but after typing in the info for the 14 students and clicking submit, the form errors out. Does this form still work?
Then I tried the spreadsheet for batch uploads. I followed the instructions to a T, and it was submitted. That may have worked, but it still is shown under batch processing as completed, yet the names of the students do not show up in a search of the members.
It has only been two days, but since I have missed things before, I thought I would double check with you guys.
There is no fee, since it is for JTP.
If I click on submitted memberships for that affiliate, it shows none. But the batch processing shows complete.
I can certainly be more patient, just wanting to make sure there isn’t some other thing I am supposed to do.
After doing the upload did you go into each sections and on the right take the JTP option?
Also, for the upper grades (higher than 3rd) is the affiliate a scholastic one (affiliate ID starts with an H)?
Any affiliate can use JTP for a 3rd grade and under section. Only a school affiliate can use JTP for higher grades with kids only from that school.
Thanks for the feedback, yes, when I tried the online form I did choose the JTP option. Or is there something else you mean here in the picture of the batch upload area?
Good point about the affiliate, yes, it is a school affiliate, and it’s ID does start with H. Several of these kids are middle and high school as well.
It says the fee is $0.00, but it is almost as if it still wants me to pay the bill?
I checked again today, and several, but not all, of the students show up in the system. Including one student being added twice. I will chat with the member email account and see if I can’t straighten out whatever it was I did wrong.
When you submit the tournament it will take you into the TD/Affiliate area (TD/A) and you will have to answer a question about TLA Reference on the left hand side of the page. On the right hand side is where you flag each section as JTP (my affiliate allows only JTP Primary but I think a scholastic affiliate allows K-12 JTP).]
I think this was an issue with the membership (batch) system, not with the rated event process.
I know Emanuel is working on a project to improve the user interface for membership processing (hopefully including batch membership processing). As it stands too many duplicate IDs or non-member IDs are created because someone put in the wrong information by mistake or clicked on the wrong button or didn’t know that they needed to pay dues to participate in rated events.
