Register Before a Race
The following link will take you to a website which contains a digital entry blank which allows you register for any IOA race. The forms are pretty self explanatory but, below are a few instructions which should help answer any questions. Keep in mind that if you are not an IOA memeber, you will also need to purchase an IOA membership. There is a separate choice on the home page that will allow you to join the IOA. There are also additional instructions at the bottom of this page on how to become a member.
Steps for registering
- On the home screen, select which race you plan to attend. Each race category contains an address and a map to that particular race site.
- Select from the drop down menu, whether you will be racing one day or two and SO/MOD or J/AX.
- Fill in the necessary information that is found on a typical entry blank. i.e. name, age, apba number, etc…
- Below the general information contains another dropdown menu which contains all classes running at that particular event. Keep in mind that you will not be able to register for multiple classes on this page. You will need to submit the same form an additional time for each class you plan on running that weekend.
- The last part of the entry is filling out the necessary emergency and safety information. Once again, this is the same as typically seen on a paper entry blank so use your best judgement on whether who you list as an emergency contact will actually be at the race.
- After clicking the submit button, it will take you to a page that gives you a summary which we reccomend you print for your entry confirmation. After printing this page, click the “confirm confirmation” button.
- The next page is the payment page. Unfortunately the only online payment we can accept at the time is paypal. If you do not have a paypal account, you will need to create one in order to pre-register. If you are unable to create a paypal account, we will accept a check. The payment page gives an address to where to send the check. Just be sure that the check arrives at least 48 hours before an event date.
Become an IOA Member
- The page that allows you to register to be an IOA member is of the same format as the entry blank.
- Instead of selecting which category you will be running from a dropdown menu, you will be able to select either a racing, J/AX, or general non-racing membership.
- Fill out the necessary personal information and submit the membership form.
- On the next page confirm that the information is correct.
- The final page is the payment page. Just like with registering for a race, the only online payment we can accept at the time is paypal. If you do not have a PayPal account, you will need to create one in order to pre-register. If you are unable to create a paypal account, we will accept a check. The payment page gives an address to where to send the check. Just be sure that the check arrives at least 48 hours before an event date.
- Don’t be alarmed if you are unable to join at this point in time. Anyone can still join the IOA at any sanctioned race in the morning at Registration.
