Exception - To assist Minor associations with the large volume of participants they must register, Associations are able to register their organization by paying the Association fee and submitting an Executive list. 

This will permit their participants to be insured under their umbrella while they are finalizing member lists. Member lists MUST be in by November 30, 2009, as any participants whose names are not recorded in the office after that date will no longer be insured, until their membership registration is received.
