3. Paying the registration fee of $15.00. (The registration fee is the same regardless of how many events are selected.) Your registration is not complete until you have paid the registration fee.

The competitor limit for this competition is 30. The list of approved competitors can be found by clicking "Competitors" on the left side of this webpage. If there are already 30 competitors on that list, it means the competition is full, and any future registrants will be placed on the waitlist.
