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)
