Hy-Tek Team Manager Tips

Coaches, there are ways to set up Hy-Tek's Team Manager that make things look much better when results are printed. I am asking you to make the following adjustments so that results files are easier to read. I'll use Doddridge as the example:

Team Abbr: 0026
This should be the 4 digit code assigned by the WVSSAC.

Full Team Name: Doddridge County High School
This will be the full name of your school.

Short Team Name: Doddridge
This needs to be something that still makes it obvious who you are. If you use the mascot, i.e. Bulldogs, it's not readily apparent who it is, particularly if there is more than one school in the meet with that mascot. Imagine a meet between Parkersburg South, Wheeling Park, George Washington, and Washington. The results could all read "Patriots."
Also avoid using the abbreviation for your school, i.e. DCHS. This is for basically the same reason, but also for readability. Look at some of the Middle School Meets. HMS, MMS, PMS, RMS. As you look down through the results, it's hard to read and difficult to tell the teams apart. Also, you won't necessarily be the only one in the meet with that abbreviation. Imagine a meet between Huntington, Hurricane, and Hannan. HHS across the board.

Alternate Abbr: DCHS (or Dodd)
This is when to use that abbreviation you wanted to use for the short name.

Athlete Grade Levels: Per the WVSSAC, Grade Levels for Regional Meets are to be recorded numerically, i.e. 10 and not SO for Sophomores. So, please go ahead and change those now. Also, please make sure you have updated your grade levels from last year.

I appreciate your cooperation in this. It really does make things easier to read, which helps me a lot when I go through each meet for Best Performance purposes.
