Tournament Schedule

Schools MUST submit a school authorization letter from an appropriate representative from their institution that meets AMCA guidelines. Once the authorization letter is approved by the AMCA, the AMCA will provide the point of contact at the school with the password necessary to complete the annual AMCA member school registration. Member school registration must occur before any teams from that school may register for AMCA qualifying tournaments. Upon completion of the annual registration, schools will be given a password to access the qualifying tournament registration page. Attempting to register a team for a qualifying tournament prior to completion of the annual AMCA school registration may result in disqualification of a school or team from competition.

Each 2-person team may only register for one individual qualifying tournament. Attempting to register a 2-person team or an individual at more than one qualifying tournament is a violation of AMCA rules and may result in disqualification of the school or team from competition and/or a ban from future AMCA competitions. Each qualifying tournament assesses a registration fee per 2-person team, which must be paid upon registration.

The fee for all regional qualifying tournaments will be $200 per 2-student team.

REGISTRATION FEES ARE NON REFUNDABLE. Please only register for slots you know you will use. The AMCA wants to provide opportunities to as many students as possible and over-registration early in the season can discourage those who are unable to secure slots.

Slots at individual qualifying tournaments will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis, per the registration waves indicated below. Once a qualifying tournament has reached capacity, no additional registrations will be permitted for that qualifying tournament. AMCA intends to maintain waitlists for tournaments.
