Concord — Last summer, the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association announced the roll out of its new website. It promised more accessibility via mobile and other devices, as well as a user conformability that had lacked on its old system.

After a rocky launch, the NHIAA’s new website is up and running smoothly. At Thursday’s NHIAA Media Day in its Concord headquarters, the state’s athletic governing body announced changes to its mobile interface, printable scores and an updated calendar and schedule page and implored members of the media to reach out as it continues to make tweaks.

Dave Rozumek, assistant director of the NHIAA, highlighted the new website features. He said the organization would continue to monitor how the website is used and what improvements could be made as the NHIAA continues to grow and evolve.

The consensus, he added, was that the new website was a vast improvement from its predecessor as the NHIAA continues to grow and evolve.

Among the announcements were an planned expansion of the state’s unified sports program that would follow Special Olympics guidelines and split unified teams into two tiers, one more competitive than the other. That change, said NHIAA executive director Jeff Collins, would take place in the winter with all unified sports besides track and field.

“Schools will be able to choose what level of competition they’re going to be in,” Collins said. “That will be rolled out with basketball this winter.”

Collins also announced that NHIAA Division II football would, beginning this fall, follow the same postseason seeding format that was adopted by D-III last year: the top two teams from each conference, North and South, would be the top two seeds. Subsequent seeds would be chosen by the next six best teams based on their football point rating to play in the state quarterfinals.

He also addressed the situation with the Trinity High football team, which lacked enough athletes to field a team and had to cancel its varsity schedule. Collins said it had already been taken care of, while admitting that there were scheduling concerns for other D-II teams.

“That came to our attention at the beginning of the season. That really came down to a scheduling issue,” Collins said. “People that are playing Trinity now have eight games, the other schools have nine games. … As of Monday, everything was changed on our website.”

Lastly, Collins announced a partnership with an online ticket agency through the National Federation of State High School Associations. Tickets for postseason games will be available for purchase online beginning this fall, as well as on site at the venue.

Collins said he was pleased with the venues that have adopted tournament games in recent years.

“Our venues, our partners with higher education in the state of New Hampshire are fantastic,” he said. “Our partnership with SNHU (Southern New Hampshire University) and the people over there … there run it like a professional event. It’s fantastic. … UNH (University of New Hampshire) is fantastic. PSU (Plymouth State University), we work with them quite a bit. We want to continue to build those relationships.”

The NHIAA’s Hall of Fame ceremonies will take place on Nov. 12 at the Courtyard Marriot in Concord. Doors will open at approximately 11:30 a.m. The event will honor, among others, Woodsville High boys soccer coach Mike Ackerman and now-retired Lebanon High field hockey coach Deb Beach. The NHIAA annual meeting will be Sept. 11 at the Grappone Conference Center, featuring former New York Giants and University of Pennsylvania tackle Jeff Hatch as its keynote speaker.
