      • On October 12th at 9:00am, in-region registration opens for all regions as planned. Baja member schools will be able to register for one (1) adjudication spot and reserve a 2nd spot on a timestamped waitlist.
      • On October 13th at 9:00am, registration for the Baja Conference opens to West member schools and the same applies – one (1) adjudication spot and a 2nd reserved and timestamped.
      • Before 9:00am on October 14th, all existing timestamped adjudication reservations from Baja and West schools registered for the Baja Conference are assigned until adjudication slots are full.
      • On October 14th at 9am, registration opens to the West Super Region.
