Fwd: Collegiate Triathlon Update (read ASAP)   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #96 of 212 |
Make sure you read this ASAP. It has information about nationals about procedures that should happen now if you have not done so already.  If you have not looked into it, the process might be a bit confusing.

If anybody has any question about rules, registering for nationals or any other collegiate question, please email me with all questions.  Also if you do not like how a process is being handled please tell me.  I will bring it up with the other board members and depending on the issue it might get changed for next year.

Team Captains
 
Nationals Registration

Team Captains:

If you haven't created your team on the Active.com registration page yet, visit the link below to set your team up. Active.com Collegiate Nationals


Registration Cap Lifted February 1st
 
Races closes at 900 collegiate, 100 alumni

The 50 person cap per team is lifted on February 1st. This means all spots will be unrestricted so if a team has already reached their 50 person cap, they will be able to open up additional spots for their team until the race sells out.

As of January 30th there are 402 collegiates and 9 alumni registered.


Alumni Wave
 

Any faculty or staff at your school can compete in the alumni wave under your school name. They do not need to be an alumni of the school they represent as long as they are associated through employment.

Alumni may also race in this wave if they are an alum of a school that will be represented at nationals.


New Teams Competing at Nationals
 

The USA Triathlon Collegiate Commission has voted to allow teams with two or less total members to compete as a team at nationals without having to pay the $50 club registration fee.

Teams with two or less total members must still register their club with USAT, but the cost will be $10 Please email clubs@... for an amended registration form.

If the team would like to join a USAT Collegiate Conference, they will be required to pay the $50 club registration fee, no matter the size of their team.

The goal of the commission is to encourage schools to continue to create triathlon teams and not hinder that growth through registration.

If your team has three or more total members you must register your team at the full fee, no matter how many members will be competing at nationals.


Wave Seeding
 

All wave seeding requirements can be found in the Eligibilit y and Scoring pdf.

Team Captains must submit their teams seeding by March 31st to be considered for automatic seeding. Fill out the Wave Seeding Form and email it to nationalevents@... by March 31, 2007.



USA Triathlon is the national governing body for triathlon, duathlon, aquathlon and winter triathlon in the United States. USAT sanctions 2,000 races and connects with more than 85,000 members each year, making it the largest multi-sport organization in the world.
