This guide shows how to safely combine duplicate athlete profiles so your team roster matches the official state roster, preventing document rejections due to name mismatches. It walks you through identifying which profile to keep, selecting the correct profiles in the proper order, and completing the irreversible merge. Follow it to avoid accidental data loss and ensure accurate athlete records.

1. From your team's home page, click the roster icon.

   

2. You can see there are two "Chelsea Test" accounts, one with her middle name. You'll want to keep the athlete profile that is reflected on your official state roster in your team pool. It reduces the likelihood documents will be denied because the name doesn't match what is on your event roster.

   

3. Click the merge icon for the profile that needs to BE merged first.

   

4. Then click the merge icon of the athlete profile you wish to RETAIN. Be VERY careful that you're selecting the correct athlete profiles to merge. Merging cannot be reversed.

   

5. Click the "Merge" button

   

6. The team roster will reload once the merge is complete, and you'll see the "surviving" athlete profile information.
