Happy New Year!

We hope that 2009 finds you full of energy and enthusiasm. The TQNYC staff has made it our resolution to help our new and veteran coaches be successful through constant news updates, new tutorials and helpful tips.

To start us off, we’d like to walk you through the NEW REGISTRATION system, give you step-by-step help and tips. Oracle now hosts our local New York City competition and we are now using their registration system. There are a few more steps to this process than in previous years. Stick with us, and we’ll get you through:

1.    Go to: http://nyc.thinkquest.org/ to enroll as a coach.
Download this
 enrollment_tutorial for step-by-step instructions.
2.    Principal must sign a Legal Agreement online.
3.    Wait for approval email.
This can take up to seven days after signing of Legal Agreement.
4.    Receive email confirming your approval.
5.    Log-in and register your teams.

*If you already have a Think.com account or had teams in past Thinkquest.org National Competitions, YOU ARE ALREADY ENROLLED to be a coach and can skip the enrollment steps, log-in using your account information and begin registering your teams. Please make sure all of your information is up-to-date.

Stay tuned for next week when we explain Registering Teams with a step-by-step tutorial!
