# 1. Create Your Scorsync Account

Register for a free account at scorsync.com/register (opens new window).

If you use the same email as your USA Gymnastics account and selected Scorsync as your Meet Reservation Vendor, your sanctioned meets will be imported automatically.

If your meet wasn't imported automatically:

  1. Log in to scorsync.com (opens new window)
  2. Navigate to Meets (opens new window)
  3. Click Create Meet
  4. Fill in your meet details, including the Sanction ID

You cannot run Scorsync Live without a valid Sanction ID.

# 3. Download and Install Scorsync Live

Download the latest version from scorsync.com/tools (opens new window).

  2. Click Import
  3. Select the Club Export CSV from USA Gymnastics Meet Reservations
  4. Verify numbers populated in the USAG Number column

To import synchro pairs:

  2. Click Import
  3. Select the GroupPairExport CSV from USA Gymnastics Meet Reservations

  3. Click Send Start List

Warning: When re-sending start lists, always check Erase current start lists on Scorsync first. Otherwise, athletes will be duplicated.

# 8. Start Live Scoring

    Setting Default Description
    Max Results per Push 50 Number of results sent per API call (1-300)
