No more waiting on an invoice after the registration request period closes in order to be able to pay for registration fees! Once a family has finished requesting registration for a tournament, they can then complete checkout and pay for their tournament fees at any time up to registration closing for that tournament.
Here are all the details. (Consider bookmarking this article for questions that come up throughout the season!)
Getting Started
To begin tournament registration, log into your account to MyPlace.
- Tap Tournaments located on the left-hand column of MyPlace.
- Locate the specific tournament name and tap Enter.
- Select Registration and add events for each competitor.
Before Registration Day
Prior to registration request closing date, add events for each competitor (and, if appropriate, Team Policy and Duo partners). Go to the cart to complete the checkout process. A receipt will be sent via email.
Pro Tip: If there are events for multiple tournaments in the cart, select only the events for the tournament you wish to pay for in this transaction. In addition, be sure to check all events for each student for the specific tournament.
Note that registration fees must be paid prior to the registration requisition period closing in order to be processed with priority registration. Once regular registration closes, new events cannot be added to the cart until late registration opens. All registration request closing dates can be found in MyPlace.
After Registration Closes
Once registration closes, any unpaid registrations will remain in cart and a $25 per competitor late fee will be added; these items can be paid for but will not be given priority registration. Unpaid fees will be cleared from carts when check-in opens.
Registrar Day
The day after registration closes is Registrar Day. On this day, the Registrar will process paid registrations only. An email will be sent confirming registration is complete and/or notifying of any waitlisted events (Event Waitlists).
Pro Tip: Meals will typically open on Registrar Day.
Late Registrations
Late registration opens the day after Registrar Day. A $25 late fee per competitor per tournament will be added to any new registrations. New registrations can be added as space allows; space is not secured until payment is made.
Waitlist
If waitlisted for an event, a confirmation email will provide two options.
1) Stay on the waitlist.
- No action is required from the family.
- Competitors will be moved off of the waitlist as space becomes available; an email will be sent.
- Registrar will process refunds after the tournament ends for any competitors remaining on a waitlist.
2) Request removal from the waitlist
- If a family wishes to drop an event and be removed from the waitlist, they must contact the Registrar at gro.ACFCN@rartsigeR.
- Family requests a refund from Family Orders in MyPlace.
- The Finance Office approves and processes the refund.
Drops
Prior to registration closing, events can be dropped by untoggling the event on the Registration page of the specific tournament. If fees have already been paid, please contact gro.ACFCN@rartsigeR to drop an event. Fees are refundable until registration closes. Refunds must be requested via Family Orders in the left column of MyPlace (Learn more at Refunds).
After registration closes but prior to check-in opening, drops are allowed but refunds are only available in extenuating circumstances. Contact gro.ACFCN@rartsigeR to drop an event. For an explanation of extenuating circumstances, go to Refunds.
After check-in opens, no drops are allowed except under extenuating circumstances. Please contact your Regional Coordinator.
Event Exchange
Pro Tip: Prior to registration closing and payment being made, event exchanges can be made by simply untoggling one event and toggling another.
There is no fee to exchange events before registration closes. At this time, event exchange for paid events need to be processed through the Registrar at gro.ACFCN@rartsigeR.
After registration closes but prior to check-in opening, event exchanges are allowed and incur a $25 fee. These event exchanges will also need to be processed through the Registrar at gro.ACFCN@rartsigeR.
After check-in opens no event exchanges are allowed except under extenuating circumstances; please contact your Regional Coordinator.
Check-in
All fees must be paid prior to check-in. Once regular check-in closes, a late check-in fee will be added. There will be an opportunity to check-in during a 2-hour late check-in window the day before the tournament begins (10am -12pm CT). Otherwise, competitors will be dropped from the tournament. No refunds will be given.
Any questions, please reach out to gro.ACFCN@eciffO.
