DO NOT INCLUDE MEDICAL FORMS, THEY ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR REGIONALS.
Please pre-register all teams (that you think you will bring) in the pre-registration phase as soon as the registration system opens. Press the submit button for each team. Only coaches may register teams.
Please include t-shirt sizes as we place the order for t-shirts the second week of December. Extras will be ordered, so if you have team member changes, we can accommodate them. Update the name/t-shirt changes in the system as soon as you are aware of team member changes.
Please note that as a coach you should choose delegates (you will see this prompt while registering your team) for your student forms. This prompts the parents or guardians to upload the forms necessary. Parental Consent and Media Release forms are the only digital forms we require at the Regional Event. We have a BPA specific Code of Conduct form that we will email you after you register.
Official team approvals within the system will be made as soon as the registration system allows. Dates below
Please read: New Registration Process
Beginning October 2 at noon Eastern: Coaches either log-in to existing or create new accounts. The only information needed initially is the coach, co-coach, and school information. Coaches will not be asked (or allowed) to enter any information on the team members.
After the team coach agrees to follow the eligibility requirements AND consents to the information in the former “Adult Consent and Media Form”, the coach can submit the school’s PREREGISTRATION.
After the coach submits the school PREREGISTRATION, the Regional Coordinator will approve the PREREGISTRATION if there is space. An approved PREREGISTRATION secures at least one spot for a school. Note: If the coach or co-coach is not a school employee, the school principal must complete the coach approval before PREREGISTRATION can be approved.
ONLY after the school’s PREREGISTRATION is approved, can the coach begin building their teams.
Between PREREGISTRATION approval and December 1, 2023 at 11:59 pm local time, the coach must SUBMIT their Team 1 registration. If the coach does not submit the Team 1 registration BEFORE December 2, the school loses its reserved space.
In order to SUBMIT a team registration, a signed “Parental Consent and Media Release Form” must be submitted for each team member – these forms are to be signed electronically by the parents/guardians. These electronic forms will be available after you enter the students’ information.
To repeat: a coach cannot submit a team registration without completed and signed parental forms.
To summarize:
Step 1: Coach submits school PREREGISTRATION to guarantee one spot for the school
Step 2: Regional Coordinator approves the PREREGISTRATION
Step 3: Coach submits team registration for Team 1 before December 2
IF an event allows 2nd and 3rd teams, coaches may work on completing the submission process for the 2nd/3rd teams any time after the PREREGISTRATION is approved. However, 2nd and 3rd teams will not be approved before December 5, 2023. There will be no “first come, first served” approvals before January 1, 2024. If there is not enough space for all teams, second or third teams will be selected via a lottery system. Please email the Regional Coordinator for more information.
