This article explains how to register a new team for the current season using events.vex.com, including creating an account login, choosing a competition program, entering organization and team information, adding team contacts, completing the team profile, and paying the team registration fee. It is written for coaches, organization administrators, and district administrators registering a first-year team or any team that has not been registered before. Register early in the season so your team is ready before event registration opens.

Definitions of the terms used here are maintained in the central glossary.

To carry an existing team into the current season, see Renewing a Team.
