Q: I am a member of a team - do I choose "Team" or "Athlete & Official Fan"?
A: Choose "Athlete & Official Fan". "Team" registration is only for Team Managers / Coaches / Captains to set up their team and manage their roster - it is not for individuals who want to register for the Games.

Q: I registered online - why is my "Years Attended" only "1" when I have been there several years?
A: When you registered, you were given the choice to "Log In" and log-in with your Username and Password or "Create Your Account". If you chose "Create Your Account" the system thinks this is your first year. This can be corrected. Contact our office for assistance.

Q: Is my Username and Password the same as it was last year?
A: Yes, your Username and Password will remain the same each year.

Q: Does my Account let me register as an Athlete and a Team?
A: Yes. You will use the same account to register as an athlete or to register a team.

You must have a partner in order to register for pickleball. For all other sports, we recommend that you check PartnerFinder to find a partner before you register. If you want to register for an event other than pickleball before you find a partner, you may do so by leaving the “Partner’s Athlete Number” blank. It will be your responsibility to find a partner and then to add the information to your registration before September 1 (unless stated otherwise). If your registration has a blank partner on September 1, we may cancel that event for you.

Q: Where do I find my “team number” and why can’t I just give you the name of the team?
A: Your Team Manager/Captain was given a Team Number when they registered your team. We need the number to be sure you are added to the roster for the right team.
