REGISTRATION FOR UNBC

Unlike the registration process of Club athletes (laid out in the meet packet), as a UNBC athlete you'll have to first enter information for each individual you wish to enter, being sure to click the following icon:

This registrant is competing on a relay only.

Once you've done so you can click "Proceed to next step", where you'll be able to add the individuals that you've previously entered into the Relay Team (see screen shots below). From there it will take you to the checkout page where you'll be able to pay. If done correctly, you'll only be paying for each relay team ($50), and not each individual athlete.
