A: Payments are by e-transfer only. At the end of the registration process, you will be given information about where to send your e-transfer. It will also be available on the invoice that will be generated at the conclusion of your registration. Registration is not considered complete until payment in full, by e-transfer, is also completed. Full payment must be received within three [3] days of registering or the entry form(s) will be voided. Please include the competitors full name in the notes section of the e-transfer.
