  1. On the Awards tab, tap + Add results and choose the competition under Which competition?. Or open the competition and tap its Results tab.

    The Which competition? sheet on the Awards tab, listing your competitions, with KAR Lawndale, Oct 9–11, 2026, circled.

  2. If Ovation asks Which routines did your dancer dance, tick each routine, then tap the Continue button, for example Continue with 3 routines. Not in the list? Tap + A routine that isn't listed.
