Steps to Qualifying Tournament registration:

Successfully registering for competition requires several steps, and you will need certain information available to complete the forms. To help make this process go smoothly for you, Teams Coordinator extraordinaire, Bob Lipman, has put together an extensive — and illustrated! — guide to the process.

Please take the time to review this document, as it outlines all the information you will need and provides screenshots to guide you through a completed registration.

Why are there limited registration spots at each location?

We are excited to offer the opportunity for teams to choose a location and date that is most convenient for them.

To allow for this flexibility, two locations and dates have been selected and secured by our hard-working Events team. Due to physical and staffing limitations, teams must be equally divided between the competitions to bring the best possible competition experience to ALL of our NorCal teams.

Be sure to register early as space is limited at each of the locations. If a location is filled in your team’s problem and division, be sure to register your team for the other competition site.

All our officials, volunteers and supporters are excited to embark on this season’s tournament adventures with you, and we can’t wait to see your solutions!
