Registration Information & Links

Registration

New for 2024!  VC will be launching an all new registration process in an effort to reduce the stress and time sensitive pressures associated with Nationals registration.  


From December through January, teams will have the opportunity to fill out an expression of interest for attending Nationals.  All interested teams will be placed into a lottery and will be drawn to determine the teams who will be invited to register.  


Once the tournament is at capacity, remaining teams will be placed on a waitlist based on the order of the lottery draw. Selected teams will then receive an invitation to register via Sportlomo.   


In the event that a team does not submit an expression of interest in the allotted timeframe, they will be able to submit a late expression of interest and will be added to the waitlist. 


We are excited to offer this new opportunity as all teams will have the time to complete the registration process on their own schedule and not have to recruit multiple individuals to be a part of the registration process.  

Pre-Registration

Championship Tier Medalists from 2023 will be offered an opportunity to register for Nationals prior to the general registration period.  


New for 2024!  Provincial/Territory Gold Medalists from 2023 will now also receive Pre-Registration for 2024 Nationals.   


Eligible teams will receive an email directly from VC in late November with further details. Early registration will be held in December 2024. 

 

Expression of Interest

To express interest in the registration lottery please fill out form between December 11 – January 15th by midnight EST.

**Teams expressing interest after January 15th will be invited to register if there is space. If the event is full, teams will be added to the waitlist in the order that they express interest. To express interest after January 15th, please click here.

 

Registration How-To

All team registrations for Nationals are done on SportLoMo. For assistance with registering a team, please consult the Nationals Registration Guides.

 

 

Waitlist

Once an age/gender category is full after the registration lottery, teams will be placed on the waitlist based on the order of the lottery draw.  VC will maintain a waitlist to invite teams as additional space becomes available or if a team withdraws; waitlisted teams will be offered a spot in the tournament based on their position on the posted waitlist. 
 
In the event that a team does not submit an expression of interest in the allotted timeframe, they will be able to submit a late expression of interest and will be added to the waitlist in the order that they express interest. 

Teams Playing Up (underage teams)

Any teams playing up by 1 or more divisions from their declared age category must wait until January 22nd, 2024 to express their interest to play at the older age group.  If space is available, teams will be invited to register.  If the event is full, teams will be waitlisted in the order that they have expressed interest. 
 
This is to give all “of-age” teams a chance to register in their appropriate age group. Any team found in violation of this rule will be subject to removal from the tournament. If a team wishes to play up but the event fills before the play-up registration date, the team will be added onto the waitlist on January 22nd. 

Example: a 14U girls team may express interest to compete in the Fredericton Nationals. If that team wishes to also play in the 15U Nationals in Edmonton they must wait until January 22nd to express interest for that event. If the 14U girls team plans to only compete in 15U Nationals, they must still wait to register until January 22nd.
