9. Deadline To Withdraw Withdrawing from any sport/activity is highly discouraged. Doing so creates inequities in the number of schools already assigned to compete in a regional or sectional. However, if you must withdraw, you must do so in writing prior to the Seeding Meeting or List of Participants deadline detailed in all IHSA Terms and Conditions, or be fined $100.00 for failure to withdraw by the deadline.

10. Withdrawal Process If it becomes absolutely necessary to withdraw, the school administrator must do so in writing. They must email Tammy Craig at tcraig@ihsa.org tcraig@ihsa.org Indicate your school, sport/activity, reason for withdrawing, your name and position at the school. DO NOT contact the host school manager to withdraw from any sport/activity.

11. Update Your IHSA School Information Update all contact information in your IHSA School Center at a minimum, at the start of each school year. To do so you must use the IHSA Official Representative level password to access this area in your IHSA School Center. Without accurate email addresses for all administrators and coaches, it is not possible for the IHSA Office to keep you informed.
