5. Click the Submit button.
Site Settings
- Webmaster Email - Input the email address of whoever is in charge of updating and maintaining the content on your site.
- Organization Name, Short Name, and Abbreviation - These names are used in various places throughout the site. Organization Name should be the full name of your team, Short Name and Abbreviation could be more familiar forms of your full name. For example:
- Organization Name: Super Hero High School Track and Field

- Base Page Title - The Base Page Title will be added to the beginning of every individual page title. Page titles appear at the top of the browser tab and in many search results.
- Favicon - Click the “Choose File” button to select a favicon image from your computer. A favicon appears in the address bar of your site, and in each tab. Use the “Generate a favicon” link to use a free, secure tool to convert a normal image file into a favicon

- Default Year, Season, Meet, and Roster - Setting a default Year, Season, Meet, and/or Roster will help you more quickly add Results information to your site, as your default settings here will automatically be included. You always have the option of changing the default settings for any individual Result.

Frontpage Settings
