Registration Information

Please note that there is a new registration process for Spring Reign 2010.

Over the past few years, Spring Reign has become a very popular tournament. As a result, we can no longer accept every team that wants to attend. The goal of the new registration process is to improve the transparency of registration for all teams and to create a fair method for determining which teams are accepted.

Process

1. Each team must complete an online registration no later than March 31. All teams will initially be placed on the waitlist, and all registrations will be listed on the event web page. It is up to each school to make sure that a registration is completed for its team(s).
2. The Tournament Directors will select teams to be accepted into the tournament based on the selection criteria below.
3. Teams that are accepted will be notified via email on April 4. Accepted teams must confirm their attendance and submit payment no later than April 10.
4. Any spots not accepted will be offered to teams on the waitlist on April 11.
5. Final schedules will be posted on the website on April 18.
6. Note: The Tournament Directors can make exceptions to this timeline and process in special cases. Please contact [Enable javascript to see email] if you have any questions.

Selection Criteria

• Out of town teams will be given priority in order to promote diversity at the tournament.

Paperwork

The following pieces of paperwork will be required in order to participate in Spring Reign.  All necessary paperwork will be emailed to accepted teams on April 4, along with information about paperwork deadlines and the tournament check-in process.

1. DiscNW will collect a waiver from all players, except players who have already submitted a waiver for 2010.  There is a new DiscNW waiver form for 2010, which will comply with the new Zackery Lystedt Law.
2. All players will need to complete a medical authorization form to give their coach permission to seek medical care in the absence of the player's parent/guardian.  DiscNW will not collect these forms but will ask to see them at check-in.
