If you are not a part of the MCPSS JROTC league there is a Registration fee of $75 per team per event. If you are behind on payment you cannot proceed to the next competition until you settle your debt. You can pay in cash, check or money order and make it out to Murphy High School JROTC during the check-in process at the event. In addition, please ensure you have added LTC Chevelle Thomas as an alternate POC on the https://www.robotevents.com/ website and your team has completed the consent forms prior to the competition.
