1. Complete the online tournament roster.

  • »  Preliminary roster is due June 1, 2008.

  • »  Provide parents with the tournament ID number for this task. Players are not permitted to participate in the tournament without a completed NSC Waiver on file.
  • »  You may monitor the progress of your parents by selecting View Roster from the online roster menu. The WV column stands for Waiver. Each time a parent completes the online waiver, an ‘X’ is displayed in this column to the left of the player’s name.
  • »  Waivers are tracked to each player’s address, not the parent’s email address. Therefore, a parent may complete the online waiver from any computer!

Once permission-to-travel has been received, forward the document to the tournament and add this player to your roster. Players will not be permitted to play without permission-to-travel on file prior to final team check-in. Fax: 763.785.3660
