Formula SAE Series will have Waitlist in 2013
WARRENDALE, Pa., Aug. 22, 2012 -
When either Formula SAE competition (Michigan, Lincoln or Electric) has reached its maximum team limit, there will be 40 waitlisted spots available for teams to sign up. The waitlist will remain open until all 40 spots are filled or registration deadline of December 17th is reached.
How The Waitlist Works?
If you are in the process of registering your team when the event sells out, you will be informed that registration is closed and asked if you would like to be added to the waitlist. Response is required; teams will not automatically be added to the waitlist.
Teams that accept the offer will continue through the standard online registration process so SAE can capture needed information; however the registration fee will not be charged to their credit card until the team is moved off the waitlist onto the participating registered team list.
Teams registered on the waitlist will be sequentially assigned a vehicle number starting with the next number after the last team on the “Registered Teams” list. That number will then be the cars number when and if the team advances to the “Registered Teams” list. Teams are to use this number with all required submissions.
As registered teams notify SAE that they are withdrawing from the competition, we will contact the waitlisted teams in the sequential order assigned and give them the option to advance. Once a team passes on the opportunity they will be removed from the list. Once a team accepts the opportunity they will be moved to the Registered Teams list.
Things to Consider:
1. NO GUARANTEE
Please be advised that if your team chooses to build; you accept full responsibility that you are building at your own risk. There is no assurance your team will be pulled from the waitlist onto the “Registered Teams” list to compete in 2013.
2. REGISTRATIONS NON-TRANSFERRABLE
If you add your team to FSAE Michigan’s waitlist and register for FSAE Lincoln; registration fees WILL NOT be transferable. If your team has the option to become active on the registered team list for Michigan you will be required to pay a second registration fee and vice versa. We will not transfer teams between competitions.
3. DEADLINES AND REPORTS
Teams will be required to meet all report deadlines for submission online fsaeonline.com at the time reports are due. Teams will be added to the online system once registration is completed. **This is a change of operations from last year.
4. WITHDRAWAL NOTIFICATION
Should your team decide to withdrawal OR be taken off the waitlist for the either competition please notify Kaley Zundel at kzundel@sae.org or 724-772-8533.
Non-Refundable Registration Fees Policy still applies to teams withdrawing from active Registered Team List.
