Registration
-A team and all available members of that team shall attend registration during the assigned registration time.
-Registration at all National Tournaments will begin at 10:00 a.m. (The National Chair may make adjustments to the Registration Times if numbers dictate.) A late athlete must register before she takes part in any games. Penalty: All games she particpated in may be forfeited if she fails to register.
-All athletes and coaches must show their AAU membership verification at the time of Registration. If verification is lost or cannot be produced, another one may be purchased at that time with no refund.
-A late athlete may register at any time before the conclusion of play in all National Tournaments.
-Any athlete that participates before she registers may forfeit her eligibility for the remainder of the tournament and the team may forfeit any game in which she participated. IT IS THE COACH'S RESPONSIBILITY TO FIND THE AAU COMMISSIONER FOR LATE REGISTRATION.
