ARMS Tip Before submitting your practice logs remember to review the Compliance Check to make sure that there are no errors. The Compliance Check can be viewed at the top of your Playing Season page which is found under your Team tab. If the Compliance Check is green there are no errors with your logs but if it appears yellow than there are errors. The weeks with errors will be designated with a yellow triangle to the right of them. Clicking on the triangle will let you view the issues.
