On Line Registration Help

Summary

This page is intended to guide you through the registration process and answer any questions. In order to complete registration for any event you will need:

Who are you?

Your Entry:

1. Entry information:

• The first page of the entry form contains the information about the person(s) and boat being registered. At the top is the name of the competitor. It should be automatically filled out with your information. You can change your information to that of the Competitor whether it be a child or spouse - if you wish. Please also fill out your US Sailing and CBYRA number, if appropriate. Some events will offer a discount for US Sailing Members.
• The middle part of the page will contain space for the usual information about your boat. You may be required to check a box indicating your boat conforms to the rules and that you agree to the liability waiver.
• At the bottom of the entry form will be a space requesting the number of people who will be attending with you as well as a place for comments.
• If there are no purchases, click register to complete your entry. If you fail to complete all of the required information, the entry form will be presented again with a notation in RED pointing out the mistakes. Please fill out the offending fields and resubmit the form. Upon successful completion of the entry form, you will receive an acknowledgment page and an email with a confirmation of your entry.

2. Purchases:

• If there is an entry fee or a list of items for sale - tee-shirts, meal tickets, etc. - they will be displayed at the bottom of the form. You will not be allowed to complete the registration without payment for any "required items" like an entry fee. Entry fees typically increase automatically if the registration is beyond the date set for Late Registrations.
• When you click the Register Button, it will check the Entry Form data as above, but rather than confirming the Registration, - you will be taken to a Payment Page

3. Payment:

   • On the payment page you will have an opportunity to review your purchases and adjust quantities.
   • Once you are satisfied with your purchases, please enter:
     • The name on the credit card
     • The credit card number - no spaces - no dashes
     • The Month and Year of the credit card expiration.
   • If you fail to complete all of the required information, or supply incorrect credit card information, the payment form will be presented again with notation in RED pointing out the mistakes. Please complete the form and resubmit. Upon successful completion of the entry form, you will receive an acknowledgment page and an email with a confirmation of your entry.
     
     Please note that FBYC uses a secure server with https and 128 bit SSL. In IE click View>Status bar and you will see a lock in the bottom right corner of the browser indicating that the site is secure.
     
     All of the fields with a [REQUIRED FIELD] are required.
     
   • If you never pay, your balance owing will remain in the payment page . At any time you can go back to payment page and complete the payment Process. If the event passes, and you pay at the door, you will have to contact Strother to ask him to erase the old unpaid items.

Your acknowledgment and E-Mail Confirmation

Your email confirmation should arrive within 5 minutes of your completed registration. It will repeat most of the information you submitted, and a copy of the email goes to our sailing events management people notifying them that you have registered.

There will be a link on the email confirmation which will again take you or any of the sailing events people to your confirmation page showing your entry.

Problems??

If you find that you get through the information about you and your boat, but do not complete the credit card processing step, it is fine to go through the process again later. The computer will allow you to re-register, but it will not record duplicate entries made by you unless the First Name and the Last Name of the Competitor are different.
