Rosters should be entered prior to the team’s first contest. Please update the SID and head coach information as well.
Deadline for schedule and roster input is Tuesday, August 9.
• ATTENDANCE FIGURES
For official box scores and/or NCAA reports, attendance figures ccan be calculated by turnstile count, tickets sold or estimates. NCAA championship tournament figures always are compiled by tickets sold. Schools should make every effort to record an attendance figure on each statistical box score it produces. For baseball and softball doubleheaders, please use one attendance figure (the higher of the two games) and count it as one date or session. For the complete policy, please reference page 18 of the
NCAA Statistics Policies and Guidelines.
• COUNTABLE OPPONENTS POLICY
The countable opponents policy and list of non-countable opponents may be found
HERE. The list of non-countable opponents is not complete. If there is an institution not listed in the current codes or on the non-countable opponents list, please contact
ncaastats@ncaa.org and the institution will be researched.
