Team Registration for State (STEP-BY-STEP)

Updated 2/25/26

Advance your team registration from Region to State. 

Step 1

All regions: By March 7th

  • Only teams that have advanced to State can register at the State level.

  • Once the advancing teams are recorded in the portal, head coaches will receive an invitation email. At the moment North TX and HARO teams have received it.

  • Coaches complete the registration for State:

    • Click on the link in the invitation or just login to the portal

    • Go to Teams, Details.

    • Select the TX State Competition event at the bottom of the page.

    • Click on the Register button next to each team member who will actually participate in the State Competition, fill in the registration. Unlike the OA form, you should not include here members who no longer attend team meetings.

    • As you go through each participant, include any qualifying schedule conflict that we need to know about. Qualifying conflicts are: Coach on multiple teams, siblings on other competing teams, life events, travel to the State competition. Be careful to only include actual sibling conflicts for siblings who will compete at State. Non-qualifying conflicts are: other extra curricular activities, personal or parental conflicts. Conflict requests cannot be accepted by email.

    • Repeat for coaches. You can add up to 2 co-coaches total at this level but also notify us at state@txodyssey.org to add them to the mailing list.

    • If you need to replace the Head coach, contact us at state@txodyssey.org to get instructions, before you finalize team registration.

    • Once everyone is individually registered, click on Finalize Registration.

  • DO NOT ADD JUDGES AND VOLUNTEERS IN THE PORTAL.

  • DO NOT ADD JUDGES AND VOLUNTEERS IN THE PORTAL.

  • DO NOT ADD JUDGES AND VOLUNTEERS IN THE PORTAL.

  • This is because they do not have the same jobs as we do in Texas. Judges are already contacted by the Judge Coordinator with instructions. Volunteer signup will open when the competition plan is ready ~ March 12-15.


Step 2

Do you need an official invoice for multiple teams? Request it from state@txodyssey.org within 3 days of your regional tournament in order to make a timely payment. We can only issue an invoice for registered teams so please ask your coaches to register promptly. It takes two minutes to register.
