Chapters in Michigan must register all their NLC qualifiers by Tuesday, March 19 at 5:00 PM ET. NLC qualifiers who are not registered by this date will forfeit their spot to compete at the NLC.

    Please complete this form as early as possible so we can notify alternates and not forfeit a competitive event spot.
