Entry Confirmation Packet

For schools attending the tournament, head coaches should have received an email confirming entry and detailing how to double-check to ensure students are registered properly.
We ask that you check each event to ensure that your students are registered for the correct events, have the correct Duo/Public Forum partnerships, and that their names are spelled correctly. Please also check events in which you do NOT have students registered and ensure that you have no entries listed in those events. Some students may have multiple codes (especially those with 4 or more events)- this is perfectly normal.

The packet of students competing in the competition can be found here.
