It's a tedious process, but it must get done. Here's how to do it: 1) Log-in to Techscore scoring account but DO NOT select any regattas 2) Go to Membership-->My Sailors 3) In the filter dialog box, type in 2021 [or 2022, 23, 24] and click "Apply" (small blue button) 4) Select a sailor 5) Scroll down and select the Fall 2021 check box 6) Scroll down and select "update" 7) After it updates, click "back to list" Unfortunately, you have to repeat ALL of steps 3-7 for every sailor. When you click "back to list" it does not go back to your list filtered by grad year. *____________________________________________________________________________* *Regatta Hosts* Hosts, please be reminded that Notices of Race should be published at least one month in advance of the regatta. Either email the listserve ( [email protected]) or send it to our Secretary, Anna Morrow and myself ([email protected], [email protected]) for us to post. I look forward to seeing many of you in SD this weekend! Best, Brad Schaupeter *PCCSC Commissioner* Email: [email protected] Cell Phone: (310) 850-5213
