Tips for a Clean Import

  • Every row must have an email address — rows without emails will be skipped.
  • Remove any blank rows or summary rows at the bottom of your spreadsheet.
  • Make sure each row represents one player.
  • Avoid merged cells.
  • Keep your file under 10 MB and 5,000 rows per import.
