-
Institution Fees: Institutions that have registered any teams of three or more members in previous seasons must pay institution fees.

Institution and team fees must either be paid online at time of registration, or an offline payment can be requested (i.e., a check or invoice).

If paying offline by check, teams must register first, and then complete the Team Offline Payment Request Form separately. Offline payments incur an additional $50 processing fee per check, which must be included with submission.
-
Starting December 1, ONLY online payments will be accepted.
-
Institutions that ONLY register small teams (teams with fewer than three members) are only required to pay their small team fee(s), not an institution fee. Please contact the USCSA National Office for a discount code to waive the institution fee.
