Key Changes to the Registration Process for 2025:
- Housing Access: Housing will be available only to teams in an Ok to Pay status based on their registration time stamp. Teams on the Waitlist or in a Pending status will not have access to hotel accommodations.
- Registration Status:
- Pending: Upon registering your team in AES, your status will initially be “Pending.” No further action is required from you at this stage. USAV will review the time stamp of your registration and place you in one of two categories: OK to Pay or Waitlist (See Below). Please note that this status does not guarantee acceptance, and we advise against booking travel at this time.
- Ok to Pay: This status indicates tentative acceptance. To secure your spot, you must submit payment and complete housing through Team Travel Source as soon as possible. Please note that this status does not guarantee acceptance, and we advise against booking travel at this time.
- Waitlist: If the division you entered fills up before your registration is complete, your status will be changed to “Waitlist.” You can email Sunshine@usav.org to check your waitlist position or to inquire about moving to another division. Do not submit payment unless your status is updated to “Ok to Pay.” Please note that this status does not guarantee acceptance, and we advise against booking travel at this time.
- Accepted: Once payment is received and your housing is confirmed by Team Travel Source, your status will be updated to “Accepted.” This is the only status that confirms full acceptance into the event, and you may then proceed to book your travel arrangements.
