Guidelines & Best Practices
Before you register
- Use the same name as on your official documents (birth certificate / ID).
- Keep passport-size photos, birth certificate, and school/college/government ID ready (JPG, PNG, or PDF).
- Check age, gender, and weight eligibility for each activity before selecting games.
- Note registration deadlines — late registration may include an extra fee.
During registration
- Save drafts frequently if you cannot finish in one session.
- Review the fee breakdown (registration, accommodation, late fees) before paying.
- Payment is the last step — do not skip it or your registration stays pending.
- For team activities, add all team members before submitting.
After submission
- Track status in My Registrations: pending → under review → approved or rejected.
- If rejected, read admin notes, fix issues, and resubmit.
- Download your QR code only after approval — it is used for attendance scanning at the venue.
- Results and certificates appear after the event admin publishes them.
