Candidate Fees (Youth or Adult) $165 Payment is easily done online\, though checks will still be accepted\, you WILL NOT receive your registration QR code until payment has been recorded and required parent/guardian electronic signature for youth forms are received.

Items Needed for Registration Since this is new\, you are encouraged to review the registration questions prior to completing so you have everything needed to complete your registration.
