Registration Process

Registration is underway with ONE WEEK until the roster deadline of August 29th.

Join the following teams currently registering for the fall series:
CARLETON
FIREBIRD
GOAT
MEDICARE
PHOENIX
ZEBRA MUSCLES
TOO BAD
RTH
TORONTULA

(This list will be updated as additional teams register.)

Take note the sheer number of teams playing in sectionals determines the number of bids that we will get to fill the 16 team regional tournament. Three bids is not out of the question. Who will fill those slots? Come to sectionals and find out.

College Teams:
College roster exception: teams can make use of this but they have to do it right:
send in proof of academic term dates by fax or form, submitting a partial roster of as few as one name, and then following the remaining guidelines.

UPA Rostering clarifications and exceptions

Sectional Deadline Approaches

In less than two weeks the rostering deadline for sectionals will be past.
Below are some additional pieces of information for rostering:

he Team Registration Deadline is the date by which you must register your team for the Series by entering a roster of at least 7 players into the online rostering system. August 29th 2008.

MINORS: If someone on your team is under 18, their parent or guardian must also sign the waiver! Minors also need the chaperone and medical authorization forms filled out.

UPA Chaperone Forms

A copy of the chaperone form should be mailed to HQ. A copy should be kept on hand at the event. The medical release form is the responsibility of the chaperone; it must be brought to each Series event and kept on hand by the chaperone. This form will allow medical personnel to treat an injured minor without a parent/guardian having to be present. (Without this form a doctor might not treat an injured minor.)

On or before the Team Registration Deadline:

1. Collect information from your players including (first/last name, UPA ID, email)
   o Players can find out their UPA ID by going to www.upa.org/members/login.
   o If a player is a brand new UPA member and doesn’t have an ID, s/he should go to www.upa.org/members/login and follow the instructions for creating a new account. The new ID number will be emailed to the player and s/he can give that to the team organizer.
2. Collect team information including (team name, UPA section/region, team contact name and email)
3. Find a computer that is connected to the Internet.
4. Log in to your UPA account to access the Online Rostering system.
   o To log in, follow the instructions at www.upa.org/members/login.
   o Click on the "Online Rostering" link on your member account page.
   
5. Follow online rostering instructions for creating a roster and entering players onto your roster.
   o Include your team name and team contact information.
   o Include the names and UPA ID's of ALL the people that will be playing with you for sectionals or regionals. If they aren't on your roster they can't play with you. So if you are unsure as to whether someone will be showing up for sectionals or regionals, you should put them on. Once the Finalized Roster Deadline has passed, the roster is finals and you can't add any players for the rest of the Series!!!
