Subject:          2009 Star Sportsmanship Requirement - Additional Information

We are receiving some emails/calls regarding the STAR Sportsmanship Program

for Officials.  There seems to be some confusion in a couple of areas.  Please

see below for clarification:

1)  Due to officials being statewide, we broke the login codes down

alphabetically.  Please choose your login based on the first letter of your

last name.  When you enter the STAR login, you will enter the word "STAR" plus

the five numbers.  There are no spaces.

2)  Once you enter the login, you will be asked to confirm your school

information.  It will say AHSAA, Montgomery, AL.  This is the default

name/address we used to generate the logins.   Officials click "OK" here. 

3)  The next screen will ask you to "Select Your Name".  If this is your FIRST

time logging into STAR, your name will NOT be on the list.  You need to scroll

down and click "Register" then enter your name.  From there you will be taken

into the program.  If at any time you have to exit the program prior to

completion, when you log back in, you will then select your name in the list.

4)  We have had a couple of instances where an official has logged in and when

the program starts, they are seeing a black screen.  That means the Adobe

Flash Player needs to be updated.  Please go to www.adobe.com

<http://www.adobe.com>  and on the home page on the right side will be a

silver and red button that says "Get Adobe Flash Player".  Choose that one and

download. 

Please let us know if there are any other questions that the above does not

address.

Subject:      Officials Star Sportsmanship Requirement

The AHSAA Central Board of Control passed the requirement for all officials

who register with the AHSAA to complete the Officials Star Sportsmanship

component prior to working any contest in the future.  The component is ready

to be done.  All officials must complete this program prior to working a

future contest.  It will take about 30 minutes to go through online.  We will

be checking the records of those who have completed this component prior to

each sport season.  Please go ahead and get this done when you get a chance. 

It will provide some good insight into your own thought process during a

contest.  All coaches and players have already been required to do this in

order to participate.  If you have any questions please feel free to contact

me.  Just follow the directions listed below:

To Access STAR Sportsmanship as an Official:

Go to www.starsportsmanship.com

Choose "Officials Sign In"

Enter login according to first letter of last name:

Last name:  A thru F:   STAR04048

                        G thru L:   STAR04049

                       M thru R:   STAR04050

                         S thru Z:   STAR04051       

Click "Register" and enter your name.

You will then be taken into the program.

Thanks

Greg Brewer
