1. Both the athlete and a parent/guardian must register with TeenMastersBowling.com and provide individual email addresses. We use email addresses to identify users of the website rather than social security numbers because of identity theft and privacy concerns. We require parental contact information for our Under 18 participants because our site offers e-commerce - parents will know about each and every financial transaction made by members of their family on this site. Kids - It is extremely important for you, for us, and for your family that we have accurate and real contact information for your parent/guardian. Though we are fans of creative thinking and writing, we strongly insist that you provide a legitimate email address for them as opposed to making up an address such as "mydadsemailaddress@myownemail.com."
   
   If you do not have an email address, services such as AOL.com, Gmail.com and others offer totally free email. Both the athlete and a parent/guardian MUST have a valid email address to enter Teen Masters competition, even if it is the parent who controls both addresses.
2. Once registered, both the athlete and the parent will receive validation emails from TeenMastersBowling.com. If you do not find the email in your inbox, please check your spam folder. Both must respond to their validation emails by clicking on the validation link within 5 days or the account will automatically delete from the system. Please be sure you correctly enter your email address - it's why we make you type it twice. If you provide a wrong email address, you will be unable to validate your account and will figuratively be in TeenMastersBowling.com jail for five days until your account deletes and you are able to register again.
3. Once validated, your TeenMastersBowling.com accounts will be active and you can enter events.
4. Parents with more than one U18 child registering with TeenMastersBowling.com will receive a validation email for each child and must respond to each email.

Only registered and validated bowlers can book singles events. We require this because it is our only means to capture important entry information such as name, age, etc., and provide it to our host bowling centers for the competition, just as we would if you were filling out a paper entry form. That said, singles entries may be booked by the athlete or parent as follows:

• Register and validate a Teen Masters Bowler account as described above.
• Login under the Teen Masters Bowler account, using its email and password.
• Book the singles event(s) desired. You may enter more than one.
• Checkout by providing your credit card and other required information. (TeenMastersBowling.com uses the most current encryption technology and does not store any credit card information)
• Entry confirmation emails will be sent to the bowler, and to the registered parent or guardian of U18 and U14 division bowlers. The parent's email will provide the last four digits of the credit card that was charged.

Only registered and validated Bowling Centers, Pro Shops, Coaches, Manufacturers, Organizations, and Parents can book U18 Team entries. U22 Team entries may also be booked by registered U22 bowlers. Team entries may be booked as follows:

• Register and validate a TeenMastersBowling.com account as described above.
• Login to your account.
• Book the team event(s) desired. U18 teams may enter more than one location, but once a team has qualified for the national championships, its members are prohibited from competing in additional Team qualifying competition as members of a different team.
• During checkout you will be asked to provide the name of the bowling center your team members are affiliated with. If you have entered more than one team, please give them different names, even if by only designating them as Team 1 and Team 2.
• Once your entry successfully processes, a confirmation email will be sent.
• In the confirmation email will be a unique "team code." The code can be used to allow four (4) registered Teen Masters Bowlers to list themselves as part of your team. You don't have to use the team code, especially if you are uncertain as to who will be on your team's roster, but it will give your team members recognition on TeenMastersBowling.com.
• You will receive an "Official Roster & Lineup" sheet via email which must be submitted to the Host Center on the day of competition. As illness, weather, etc. may cause last minute changes in your roster, we recommend filling this form out just before check-in.
