Teams must meet a set of criteria before they can register for an event.  All official qualifiers in our area are scheduled between the months of November - December with the Championship also scheduled for December. 

Once a team has completed all required steps (as listed on Managing Your Team Roster and Uploading Forms), the team will be eligible to register for an official CVR event. Teams will use MyCVR to register for events via Preference Registration or General Registration (first-come, first-served). To ensure that a team gets its desired date, we encourage all teams to get their paperwork in early and submit preferences or register as soon as possible. CVR may reserve some spots at later events for rookie teams or teams that complete national registration late in the season.

The official registration period for the Season will open on the date and time listed on the Season Dates and Deadlines page.  

Registration Types: Preference vs General Registration

Preference Based Registration allows teams to select their preferred events in advance, and MyCVR will process them all at once when General Registration starts.  This allows coaches to enter their team's event preferences without having to make sure they are available the night registration opens for everyone.  Preference selection occurs before General Registration (first-come, first-served as noted above). Here is how the process works:

• CVR will indicate a period of time on the Season Dates and Deadlines page in which teams will be able to enter event preferences.  

• At any time during this time window, teams that have met the requirements below can login to MyCVR to add, update, or delete their event preferences.  

  • If a team falls out of "Good" standing in regards to forms / screening, then they will need to get their team back into good standing before the preference period ends.  If a team is not in good standing at the end of the preference selection period, their preferences are deleted. 

• Once the preference window closes, MyCVR will perform the following steps:

  1. MyCVR will delete all preference for teams that have not met the requirements below.

  2. MyCVR will randomize the order of all preferences and walk through them one at a time.  

  3. For each team, MyCVR will submit a standard registration request on behalf of the team. 

• When Open Registration starts, the normal first-come, first-served registration process takes over.  All requests will begin processing once Open Registration starts.  Any teams that submit open registration requests at this time will be processed after all existing requests have been processed. 

Requirements for Event Registration

• Teams must be registered in MyCVR

• Teams must have two screened coaches associated with their team in the FIRST Registration System

• Both screened coaches must be listed in MyCVR

• All Team Members (Coaches, students, mentors, etc) must submit a Consent and Release Form via the FIRST website. 

• Student participants will be imported into MyCVR from the FIRST website. Teams rosters in MyCVR must have two or more team members to meet the FIRST LEGO League Participation Rules.

  • Rosters can change after registration and will lock once the team participates at an official event.

Payment Instructions and Restrictions

Event registration fees must be paid before attending the event.  Events will only be able to accept Check or Money Orders from teams.  Cash, Purchaser Orders, Credit Cards, etc. will not be accepted. Teams will receive formal payment instructions on their Registration Receipt from MyCVR.  All fees for Events will be due by the dates listed on the Season Dates and Deadlines page.  Event Registration Fees are non-refundable once the payment has been processed.

Requesting Change of Tournaments

Once teams register for a qualifier, they will not be able to change to another qualifier, unless a team has extenuating circumstances. Registration is final once MyCVR assigns a team to an event. Requests to cancel or change a registration will be handled on a case-by-case basis at CVR’s discretion.
