Important information about the registration process, fees, and deadlines.

PLEASE READ THIS INFORMATION CAREFULLY!

Please direct all general registration questions and inquiries via email to April.RoboCup@gmail.com.

1) Overview of the Registration Process

We are using a web-based system, CVENT (https://www.cvent.com/d/3jqxr6)

Web Site: https://2021.robocup.org/

Only qualified teams can register. Please wait until your league qualifies the teams and your team will be available in CVENT. There is a registration password necessary which we will send to the team leaders of the qualified teams.

This year, registration for each qualified team will include the registration and fee of one team member. When completing the “Major Team” registration, you will need to input the name and contact information for one team member. In addition to registering your team + 1 member, all other participating team leaders and team members will need to register as Major Faculty/Staff or Major Student participants. Please Note: All registrations require a separate email address. The CVENT system will not accept multiple registrations under one email address.

REGISTRATIONS ARE ONLY COMPLETE WHEN PAYMENT IS RECEIVED.

Credit card payments are immediately validated.

WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND PAYMENT BY CREDIT CARD.

The other available method of payment takes time. No registration is considered complete until full payment is received.

We have MAJOR leagues and JUNIOR leagues. All fees are in US Dollars (USD).

Due to the event being hosted online, the organization expenses are much less than in usual years. As a result, and also thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, we are able to offer registration at a very substantial discount compared to previous years. The registration deadlines and entry fees are listed below.
