How to create a USCSA race from the registration website
Race Registration Website
- Go to the Race Registration Page
- Fill in ALL information
- Select "Add Race"

How to lookup USCSA numbers
Individual racer lookup on uscsa.com
This feature is not available yet. Watch here for updates. File:Racer lookup.png
Download the USCSA member csv
It is critically important that your race contains USCSA numbers and proper team abbreviations for ALL USCSA members. The easiest way to find the USCSA numbers and team abbreviations is to look them up in these CSV files.
If you cannot find the competitor in the appropriate CSV file for your division:
- Do not make one up
- Do not put in some place holder value
- Do contact the national office - there is probably an issue with the competitor's registration that is causing them to not show up in the list.
How to create a USCSA race in SplitSecond National/FIS
Download National/FIS
Configure National/FIS for USCSA races
Fill in the header information as you normally would for a normal USSA race. Check the following boxes at the bottom

- Show USCSA Number on Competitor tab instead of USSA/FIS Number
Add competitors to the race
Fill in the racer's information as you normally would, plus ALL additional USCSA-specific data
- Fill in the racer's USCSA number. A USCSA number MUST be provided for EVERY competitor that is scored by USCSA. (see This section for information on finding USCSA numbers)
- Fill in the racer's Team, using the abbreviation for the member's school. This abbreviation MUST match the abbreviation known by the scoring system, or the results will be rejected. (see This section for information on finding team abbreviations)

- Use 'B' for a second non-scoring team
