To register for this competition, you must complete the online registration (see the Register tab on the left of the screen, or near the top on mobile) by selecting your desired events, and then paying the registration fee. Once you complete online payment, check your email for a receipt - this confirmes that your payment went through. If you encounter any trouble with this process, please contact the organization team via the Contact link above.
If you find out you won't be able to attend this competition after registering, please let us know! You can do this through the same Contact link above, and it lets us give your spot to another competitor. You will receive a 50% refund of your registration fee if you cancel before the deadline (July 19 at 6PM MT).
On-the-spot (OTS) registration is currently enabled for this competition. However, we encourage that if you plan to attend, that you register online ahead of time. This saves us work, and saves you some money (registering OTS costs $5 more than if you register online). If at any point this competition reaches the competitor limit of 50, this will be turned off and will not be turned on again, even if competitors cancel their registrations. Additionally, the organization team reserves the right to turn off OTS registration at any point. Please check the website before coming to the competition to ensure that OTS is still on, if you are planning to register day-of.

All competitors must read this tab before registering.

Competitions rely on volunteers to happen! All the staff at competitions are volunteers, and we need your help to have a successful competition. Helping out by running and judging is invaluable and keeps the competition on schedule. Everyone can help, this includes first time competitors and even siblings and parents! Staffing is easy and we are happy to help get you started, and it is a great way to make time fly!

Before the competition, you will receive assignments to compete, as well as to staff (judging, running, or possibly scrambling). You are required to show up for these staffing assignments unless you communicate with the organizers of the competition prior to the assignment. Failure to do so may result in disqualification from one or multiple events.

For second rounds and finals, we will not have assigned staff, and we will rely on volunteers to make the competition run. We really appreciate it if we get volunteers, but if you are asked to staff by a delegate when you are available you must do so to avoid the same risk of disqualification.

By registering, you agree that you understand and will follow all the information listed above.

This competition is part of a series with Pikes Peak AM 2026. You are only allowed to register for one of the two competitions in the series. If you attempt to register for both, the registration completed second will be canceled and refunded. If you wish to change which competition you are registered for, first cancel the first registration, then register for the other competition.

If you have any questions about how series competitions work, please use the Contact link on the General Info tab to get a hold of us - we'd be happy to answer any questions you might have!
