Use the MileSplit Registration Wizard to create a new meet and set it up for MileSplit Online Registration.

You must be logged in with either:

  • The approved coach account for the host team, or
  • A timer account associated with a timing company

If your meet has used MileSplit Registration in a previous year, you do not need to create it from scratch. Use the Cloning an Existing Meet process instead.

Open the Registration Wizard

  1. Go to your state MileSplit site.
  2. In the navigation bar, hover over Registration.
  3. Select Setup Meet.

This opens the Registration Wizard.
