HOW DO I REGISTER FOR YOUR EVENTS?

Registration is quick and easy! Once you find an event you’d like to attend, simply [click here] or use any registration link located throughout our website.


  • Deadline: Registration closes 4 weeks prior to each event.
  • Confirmation: After registering, you’ll instantly receive a confirmation. A receipt will also be available within the online portal once payment is received.
  • Event Packet: One week before your event, you’ll receive our full event registration packet via email. This includes your Event Release Forms, Event Line-up, Location details, and General Information.  Please email us with any questions.



Most of our events sell out before the registration deadline. In an effort to plan our events more efficiently, we have implemented a $100 deposit per routine. This deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable to another event. If a routine is removed before the 30-day deadline, the deposit can be applied to the remaining balance for that event only. Please understand this is being implemented to help give opportunities to the most amount of teams at each event and to prevent last-minute cancellations.
