This article explains how teams, coaches, organization administrators, and district administrators can register a new team or renew an existing team for the current season using the Team Registration Wizard on events.vex.com. It covers logging in, choosing to register or renew, selecting a competition program, entering organization and team information, adding team contacts, completing the team profile, and submitting payment. Register early in the season so your team is ready before event registration opens.
Definitions of the key terms used throughout are maintained in the central Glossary.
For more about the roles involved in registration, see the Team Registration Overview.
Log In
On events.vex.com select Login in the top-right of the page.
Enter your log in credentials and select Login.
Select Register Team or Renew Team
From your dashboard, choose one of the following. Whenever possible, returning teams should renew rather than register a new team.
- Register Team — Creates a new team and registers it for the current season. Use this for first-year teams and any team that has not been registered before.
- Renew Team — Renews an existing team for the current season and keeps its team number, competition history, rankings, and awards.
Note: If you have never registered a team, Register Team is the only option you will see.
Select the Competition Program
The Team Registration Wizard lists the available competition programs. Select the program that matches your team, then select Next.
Enter Organization Information
Select your organization type, then review the requirements and select the checkboxes to confirm your organization meets the criteria for that type. Select Next.
Enter the physical address where the organization is located and where the team performs most of its work, then select Next.
Enter Team Information
Enter the following team information, then select Next:
- Team Base Number — Assigned automatically for new teams; retained from the previous season when renewing.
- Event Day Emergency Phone Number — Enter a phone number that can be reached during competition events.
- Grade Level — Select the grade level that matches your team.
Then, if your team is part of a program run by one of the listed organizations, select the checkboxes that apply. This step is optional — if none apply, you can leave them unchecked.
Select Next.
Add Team Contacts
Add each contact for your team, beginning with the Organization/Administrative/District Contact. Double-check each contact's email and details before continuing.

| Secondary Coach | Optional | An additional adult who may assist with team management. |
| Financial Contact | Required | Processes payments and invoices. May also serve as the Primary Coach. |
Contact Requirements:
- All contacts must be 18 or older and may not be current student team members in that program, except for VEX U teams.
- Each contact must be an individual person with their own email address. Shared or generic email addresses are not permitted.
Fill Out Team Profile
On the Team Profile, enter a Team Name and Robot Name. The remaining fields are optional and add public-facing details about your team.
- Team Name — A public display name for your team.

You can also select the Publish content to team profile page checkbox to publish your team's profile with the information you enter on this screen.
