In order to be eligible to compete in your other events, drop fees must be paid prior to the tournament. There will be a $25 fee for ANY event that is dropped on or before March 30th.  After March 30th, the drop fee increases to $30 per event.  In order to be eligible to compete in your other events, this fee must be paid in cash at student check-in before the tournament begins.

You may drop events with no drop fee until March 10th.  Simply log into your registration and drop the events.  After March 10th, drop fees apply and you need to notify the registrar if you wish to drop an event.

THINK TWICE - REGISTER ONCE:

What do we mean? Once you register, please do NOT drop an event. Consider carefully before registering for events – do I have time to prepare for all the events I am registering for?

1.  Registration is a commitment to compete.
2.  It creates a great deal of work for volunteer staff running registration.
3.  It creates a serious disruption for the tournament
4.  Tabulation must revise postings
5.  Trophies and awards are disrupted
6.  It can create cost waste because it affects the awards order
7.  It can create a situation where we do not have the minimum number of competitors which causes us to cancel an event.
