The following instructions are for CNC members who qualified to go to the Mid Atlantic Regional Surfing Championships on May 12-15 in Atlantic Beach. Please note that the entry process has changed from years past. YOU will be responsible for your own entry. YOU must submit your entry ON TIME to Central Headquarters, not to me. There will be no slack in the deadline. You either enter on time or go to the bottom of the list of qualifiers. It will be out of my hands. You have a choice of entering electronically using a credit card (fees apply) or downloading the entry form and sending it with $$ to headquarters in VA Beach. The same deadline applies.
The entry form and link for electronic online entry is on the ESA Midatlantic webpage. The online entry option includes a convenience fee which is listed on the online entry link. Competitors can enter either online or by US Mail. Mail entries go directly to CHQ, not me. The entry deadline is 11:59 PM Monday, March 28, 2011.
Entrants must have a valid membership thru September 2011. I previously sent each of you a Regionals Eligible list which included the membership expiration of all your Region eligible people. The majority of the eligible athletes in all the Districts need to renew thru 9/30/11 when they enter. Entrants that need to renew their membership should do both online or both by mail. They should not, for example, enter the event by snail mail and renew their membership online. If an entry comes into CHQ either electronically or by mail and a membership renewal is needed that entry will be held in abeyance until the renewal is done.
Alternates should send in their entry and fees and membership renewal via mail to avoid the paying the convenience fee in case they don’t get in. However, if you have a slot in one division and are an alternate in another division, then you can enter both divisions on online, by mail for both divisions or online for their slotted division and by mail for their alternate division. In any event, alternates who don’t get in will have their fees refunded within 30 days after the contest.
