held at the Texas State University Student Recreation Center. The
host hotel is the Embassy Suites. Each club must pay an
individual fee

Competition fees: $65 per individual, $100
per team, due March 1, 2010.
The individual competitor fee include a t-shirt.
Entering a group from your club into the team competition is not
required, but it is necessary to be eligible for team finals, or to

team using the "mercy rule".
All competition fees are due March 1.
If payment is postmarked by February 1, 2010, there will be an
individual discount (decreases to $60 per individual).
If payment is postmarked after March 1, 2010, late fees apply.
The individual fee rises to $85 and the team fee rises to $125.
If payment is received after April 1, entry into competition is not
guaranteed.
Banquet tickets: $25 per person, due March
1, 2010.
Tickets can be purchased for athletes, coaches, parents,
friends, etc. The aware ceremony will be held at the banquet.
Signed waivers: Due April 1, 2010.
Please put waivers in alphabetical order prior to sending.
Registration Information:
All
clubs must complete their registration for
Nationals 2010 online.
To be eligible for online registration, you must first register for
membership
with the NAIGC online, and then request to be an authorized
representative for
your club. Furthermore, to complete your registration online, each of
your
club's individual competitors must be registered for membership with
the NAIGC.
AFTER REGISTERING YOURSELF FOR MEMBERSHIP WITH THE NAIGC ONLINE, you
may Request
Authorization to be an authorized representative for your club by
sending an email to info@naigc.net, providing your name, the club to
which you would
like authorized access, and your status/position within the club. Once
you are
authorized to register online, you can access Nationals 2010 Online
Registration by clicking the preceding link, or you can select
"Meet
Registration" under the "My NAIGC" link to the left.
In order to complete your registration online, you must create at least
one
team, assign all your club's competitors to teams, and then specify
which
events each person will be competing. You will only be able to register
individuals for Nationals 2010 if those individuals are already
registered for NAIGC
Membership Online. If necessary, authorized club representatives
can register their teammates for
membership, one at a time, by creating for each teammate a unique
username and
password, and logging out between creating each member. But you really
should
request that your club members do this themselves.
After completing your online registration, the only paper forms you need to mail are
1. The Signed Waivers for each competitor
(pdf),
2. This Check Submission Form (pdf/doc), and
3. Your Payment (if applicable)
