Event Approval Form
• AT2 : Application for Approval of Athletic Event (baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, girls volleyball, wrestling) : PDF
Sanctioning fees are non-refundable!
As stated on the approval form the fee for sanctioning an event is non-refundable. This up-front fee policy was established to reduce the labor and paperwork associated with these events for both the schools and the FHSAA. It does require that for invitationals the number of participating teams be confirmed before the 30-day filing and payment of the sanction fee. The Athletic Directors Advisory Committee members and the Board of Directors feel that it is a reasonable expectation that the number of participating teams can be determined in this time frame.
Stepped late fees for event approval requests
Effective with the 2005-06 school year, event approval requests received less than 30 days before the event will be charged the sanctioning fee plus a $50 administrative late fee. Event approval requests received less than 10 days before the event will be charged the sanctioning fee plus a $100 administrative late fee. Event approval requests received after the event will be charged the sanctioning fee plus a $200 administrative late fee.
A request for a refund may be made for extenuating circumstances. A refund may also be made for errors in payment of the amount due. A reduction in the number of teams from what was originally anticipated or invited does not constitute an extenuating circumstance for the purpose of a refund. If you have a change prior to the 30-day approval form filing deadline and it reduces the fee, you may file an amended approval form and receive a refund. Please clearly mark the approval form “AMENDED”.
Important Notes
• The event approval form and sanctioning fee payment are due 30 days in advance of the event.
• Payment must accompany the form.
• The only payment to the FHSAA is that for the specific type of event (e.g., classic, jamboree or invitational) in the sports listed above.
• Subsequently, there is no requirement to file a financial report after the event.
