• Yes, but to change Team information, you will now need to send us an email stating what Team info you need changed and we will handle it for you.  You may still add, pay or edit any individual angler information directly from the website. Too many errors were being made with editing the Team form.
• To change individual angler information, you can access your data through the Individual Angler "Edit" button (no Team Email required).

• The owner of the Team E-mail address will receive an email acknowledgement of the registration, and that email will also contain a mailing address for anyone wishing to pay by check.  If you don't see it in your Inbox, check your spam filter or junk folder.  Multi-recipient emails sometime get snagged.  (Add the sender as an approved address in your email program to prevent further filtering.)
• If you pay by credit card on-line (preferred), you will see a message window during checkout and receive an email indicating the amount paid and which anglers the payment covers.
• If you prefer to pay by check, the Payee info and mailing address are shown on the message window and in the confirmation email you will get after registration
• Notify your unpaid anglers (if any) to access the website and register/pay using the "Register/Pay for an Individual Angler joining a Registered Team" button.
• Individual anglers, who register and pay later, will get a similar approval message, email and CC confirmation.
• Your Team's Registration is not complete until all Anglers have Paid.

• Be sure and add the domain name "@thejp.org" to your approved senders list in your email software and/or anti-spam/security software.  Bulk emails are frequently tagged as SPAM and some email providers and security software (McAfee, Norton, AVG, etc) may filter us out unless you add the "@thejp.org" domain name to your approved senders list.  If you need assistance with this, see your software's "Help" page on how to to add an approved sender.
• Tip:  Look in your Junk or Spam folder to see if any previous messages from us have been snagged.

• The first attempt to Register a Team, must be done from the Team Registration page, and must include at least one Angler. Complete or partial payment can be made on-line during the Team Registration, and any unpaid anglers must access the website and join their Team and pay at a later time.
• If you are the Team Captain and you know all of your Anglers', emails, phone numbers and shirt sizes, entering all four Anglers at once is, by far, the fastest way to register a Team, and full payment can be made by credit card at that time.
• Some or all of the Team and Individual information may already be in the data base when you pull up your Team (depends on how well you filled out the forms last year)
• If you do not have all of the required information for any of your Anglers, you will need to uncheck the box that says  "Pay now for this Angler to the Tournament" . Those Anglers will then be able to register individually at a later time using the "Register/Pay for an Individual Angler joining a Registered Team" button.
• IMPORTANT: See the section on this page regarding Team E-mail!

• The JPGMFT is an Invitational Tournament.  New Teams are allowed on a space available basis and subject to the approval of the JPGMFT Board of Directors.
• New Teams should contact a Board Member ahead of time to make sure there is space available and get a nod before attempting to Register.
• If you are a brand new team to the JP Griffon Tournament you will need to send an email to "registration@thejp.org" with the following information: Team Name, Team E-mail, Captains Name, Captains E-mail, Anglers Names and emails (Anglers optional, but will be faster) and your preferred division.  Include any connection you may have to the Tournament (previous participant, referring person or Director, etc.)
• Team E-mail is important for two reasons: see the Team E-mail Section below.
• After you submit your email request we will review your information and send you an email that you have been approved or declined.  This may take a couple days.
• If you are approved, we will also add your basic Team information (from above) to the system, and you will be able to access and complete your registration as a pre-approved team.
• If you are declined for any reason, you will be notified by email and no registration fees will be collected.  Do not attempt to pay until you are approved.

Visa, Mastercard or Discover only!

Your "Team E-mail" entry is important for two reasons"

• 1) The Team E-mail address entered should be an address that is accessible by at least one of your Team members, by mobile device (preferably the Team Captain)  while in Port Mansfield,  This is so we can reach you with important updates, questions, weather warnings etc.
• 2) Your Team E-mail address doubles as the un-lock "code" for you, or any of your team mates, to access your Team Entry Page.  Without this "code" no one can alter or view your Team Information!
• Make a note of what your Team E-mail is, and remember it.  You will need it again.
• Team Captains: you may keep the Team E-mail confidential so that your team members have to contact you to register the Team, if you wish.
• Team E-mail IS NOT required for an individual angler to join a partial pre-registered Team, as long as there is space available on the team.

• Yes.  You can send (only 1) JPG image attachment in an email by clicking this link: registration@thejp.org to be appended to your Team profile, and it will appear on the Roster pages and other places within the Website.
• Title your image with your Team Name
• Make sure and include your Team Name in the email 
• Inappropriate images will not be posted

• First, check with your team mates to see if any of them know it.
• If you still can't figure it out, send an email to registration@thejp.org and put "Forgot our Team E-mail" on the subject line.
• Give us your Team name and the Team Captain's name, and we will send the code to the Team Captain.

• Yes, but you need to complete the registration form under the current Team Name and get everyone paid up first.
• After you are paid up just send an email to registration@thejp.org with "Request Name Change" on the subject line.  Give us your old Team Name and your requested New Team Name and we will take care of it.

• No

• The JPGMFT is set up to run in a 4 man Team format to encourage fair competition
• Although discouraged, we have allowed 5 man Teams, by exception and with Directors approval, provided the following conditions are met:
• A 5 man Team may only enter the Guided Division.
• The 5th man replaces the Guide, and his fish may NOT be added to the Team Stringer (same as a Guide).
• The 5th man must pay a registration fee.
• The 5th man is eligible to enter any fish he catches in the Guided Division Big Fish categories (provided he is not a professional guide).

• Please get your registration complete as early as possible.  It helps us with meal planning and other arrangements.
• Pre-Registration ($125/angler Entry Fee) period ends at 11:59 PM, Wedneday night before the Tournament.
• All Registration after that will be done in Port Mansfield and is considered late ($150/angler Entry Fee)
• Changes and Edits to your Team Registration can be made by email until midnight Wednesday.  After that point,  last minute changes must be made by the Tournament Administrators at the Captains Meeting Thursday night before the Tournament.
• The Team Entries are locked after the Captains Meeting.

• If you need additional help on an issue regarding registration that is not covered here, or to report a problem with the Website, send an email to registration@thejp.org detailing your question or problem and we will look into it and get back to you as soon as possible.
