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