Over the past few weeks we have been very lenient regarding failure of many schools to submit 8-Quarter forms by the published deadlines. Starting Monday, September 25, any forms that are not received by the specified deadlines will be penalized with the $500.00 fine for “failure to submit appropriate paperwork,” as found on page 136 of the NCHSAA Handbook.

The deadlines are as follows:

**Pre-participation Form – Friday by 3:00 P.M.

**Follow-up Form – Monday by 4:00 P.M. (even if players do not play)
