IMPORTANT DATES FOR 2024
The following items must be submitted by ALL teams by August 16:
Completed Registration Form and Fee
The Sputum Bowl is a membership benefit and is available to all AARC members through their affiliate. Rules outlining and governing the organization and occurrence of the Sputum Bowl are available on the AARC website here.
These rules will govern each team's actions before and during each competition. By signing below, each team agrees to:
A. Pay a non-refundable participation fee of $100 per team with the application to compete in the Sputum Bowl Competition to be held in Orlando, Florida, on November 20-23, 2024. Participation fee must be paid by August 16, 2024.
B. Abide by the philosophy and rules governing the Sputum Bowl to be held in Orlando, FL, on November 20-23, 2024.
C. Submit a complete roster of team members, including an email address and cell phone, by the deadline of September 13, 2024. This is a hard deadline; no exceptions will be made unless approved by Sputum Bowl Committee chair.
D. All team participants must be AARC members at time of competition.
STUDENT PARTICIPANTS
Each student team member will receive a free student-level Congress registration as part of your participation. Team members will not be registered for the Sputum Bowl or AARC Congress until both a completed team roster AND the registration payment have been received. A discount code will be provided to each Sputum Bowl Coordinator once Congress registration is open.
Please Note: a student-level registration does not allow the student to earn CRCE. If the student has graduated and would like to earn CRCE at this year’s Congress, they will need to register at the Active level, paying the full attendee registration amount.
ALL teams must check in on-site; the orientation is November 19 at 6:00 pm. If a team is not able to attend the meeting, send a text to Sherry Whiteman, Sputum Bowl Committee Chair at 417-312-1091.
By submitting this form, I agree that the information submitted is (to the best of my knowledge) 100% accurate. I will ensure that our State Society’s Sputum Bowl Coordinator is aware of the August 16, 2024 deadline and the registration requirements that must be met by that date. My electronic signature is the legally binding equivalent to my handwritten signature. I understand that the participation fee is $100 per team and is non-refundable.
