Coaching Information

Regional team registration is only available online.

1) All coaches--including returning coaches--must create a new account at the beginning of each school year. (Returning coaches: you must use a uniquely different username each year.)

Remember your username and password—you will need it each time you access the site.

2) The Iowa regional competition does not require the following information from students. If you have a need to collect this data (as coaches) feel free to submit it on the form. If not, use the following guidelines:

• Student cell phone: registration system will accept any series of numbers (i.e. 555-555-5555)
  
• Student email: again, the system will accept any type of data, so if you choose not to provide a student's email address, simply type: n/a
  
• Student vegetarian: since students choose their own meals from a food court setting (both at the Regional and National level), it doesn’t matter how this question is answered

REMINDER: The team that advances to the National competition will be required to provide social security numbers for coaches and students.

3) The electronic registration system allows you to save team information then go back into the system and make changes provided you don't hit the "submit" button. If you think you may have changes to your team, enter the information you presently have and click on "Save for Future Editing." You can then log onto the site again, make necessary changes and "Submit" your information once it's finalized.

If you get the "Agent Done" message, close your browser completely then visit the site again.
