Team Roster

Submit your roster (4 players and 1 faculty/staff coach), travel information, rooming list, and the registration of any Institutional Representatives (IRs). You must submit the full legal name and Social Security number of every participant.

After HCASC receives and processes the Team Roster form, only the individuals listed on the roster can complete the Participant Registration form.

Participants who attended a previous year's NCT may review and update their previously submitted information, saving considerable time.
