Checklist for starting your season
Â
There are many steps necessary to create your registrations and online stores. To ensure the success of your registrations, here's a step-by-step guide to help you along the way.
Â
Changing seasons
To change your active season, go to the top of the page and click on the breadcrumb trail. Click on the season, and the drop-down list will expand. Select the season you wish to work in.
You'll notice a yellow banner at the top of the page. You can still set up your new catalog and online store despite this warning. This banner lets you know that you're working in a season other than the one currently active.
Â
REMINDER: Affiliation fees must be activated by national, provincial, and regional organizations before the local organization can create registration fees.
If affiliation fees are not activated, the division will be grayed out in the drop-down menu when creating registration fees.
