How to update your Event roster in Gotsport
Log into your Got Sport Account and build your EVENT ROSTER. This roster must have all players listed, including guest players. This is what will be used to generate the game cards so it is important that all players are put into the system.
ADDING GUEST PLAYERSÂ FROM OUTSIDE YOUR CLUB
(make sure to get a loan form)
*NOTE: If your club has your rosters locked, you won't be able to access the Ostrich Player Pool.
- Your registrar can add them into your Club Player Pool and then you can add them as a guest player.
- Have the player register on the guest player pool for Holiday Classic and then you can add them from there.
