League Policies
Partners and Registration
For any event requiring a partner, both partners must request registration before the team is moved to the registration list. Students who have not indicated a partner or are waiting for their partner to register will remain on the waitlist until the other partner has registered.
Late Registration
Late registration requires a $25 late fee per competitor ($5 late fee per competitor for Junior Tournaments) and will open online at 9:00am CT on the designated Friday for events with remaining space. This late fee will also apply to those who registered during regular registration but failed to pay before the deadline. Late registration will remain open until 2:00pm CT one week prior to the first day of competition. During late registration, affiliates will be able to choose events and check-out all in one transaction. Payment is required for the registration to be complete, and all unpaid orders will be cleared at the close of late registration.
Waitlists and Registration Preference
NCFCA meets its mission when students participate and will make every attempt to accommodate as many requests as possible.
Unfortunately, there are instances when demand exceeds space, and a waitlist will be created. In most cases, the waitlisted students can be accommodated before the tournament begins. The student and parent will be notified directly when space becomes available and the event has been placed in their cart. Payment for this event is due within 72 hours or the slot may be offered to the next student on the waitlist. Students who cannot be accommodated for a particular event will be given preferential registration for that event in the next tournament for which they register, regardless of tournament type. The registration software will automatically account for this status, so no action is required on the part of the student. Preferential registration status is not transferable, and registrations are not transferable between students. If a space is offered and declined, the competitor’s preferred status will be forfeited.
In the unlikely event that there are too many preferred competitors for the available space and a competitor remains on a waitlist for a second tournament, the competitor will be given a higher preference status the next tournament.
Competitors placed on the waitlist due to late registration or nonpayment are not eligible for preferential status.
Scholarships
A limited number of scholarships for registration fees are available by demonstrating financial need via the link in the shopping cart.
- Scholarships must be requested prior to payment.
- If the scholarship is granted, a coupon code will be added to the cart for the registrant to complete the transaction.
- Refunds will not be issued once an order is paid.
Registration Adjustment Procedures
Information on how to drop or exchange events is found on the tournament prep page. This page also explains how to obtain a refund if one is allowed.
