How to Create a Mother/Guardian – Daughter Team

When the first person chooses the team reg. choice they should pick Create Team, provide a team name, and pay the team fee, but they will not be prompted to select their teammate during their own registration.

After selecting team name, select 1 of 3 team brackets based on daughter’s age:

  • Under 14 = Mother/Maternal Guardian with a Daughter aged 13 years and younger
  • 14-20 = Mother/Maternal Guardian with a Daughter aged 14-20 years
  • Over 20 = Mother/Maternal Guardian with a Daughter aged 21 years & older


Once they have finished, the 2nd person starts their own registration under the team reg. choice and gets to the team selection slide, they will choose Join Existing and enter the name to find their team. Once they take the remaining open spot on the team, their cart total for registration should drop to $0 and they can complete the registration process.
