Join the Competition

Welcome to the nation's largest youth cyber defense competition!

FOR STUDENTS

Students looking to join the competition should NOT create a volunteer account. Instead, competitors must be added to a team roster by the coach of record in order to register. Once added to a roster, the competitor will receive an automated email containing a link to a competitor questionnaire. Completion of the questionnaire = completion of competition registration.

REGISTER AS A TEAM COACH

If you are new to CyberPatriot, you will first need to create a volunteer account.
Returning coaches, technical mentors, and team assistants can use their existing accounts from previous seasons.

Coaches are responsible for:

  1. Signing up their teams for each new competition season (can register up to 5 teams per coach)
    • Teams for CyberPatriot XIII (2020-2021) must be created by October 15, 2020
  2. Assigning competitors to team rosters
    • Competitors must be added to a roster no later than October 31, 2020
  3. Paying registration fees or requesting fee waivers
    • Payment must be made by November 15, 2020 (we accept payment by purchase order, check, credit card)
    • $205 for Open Division high school teams
    • $165 for Middle School division teams
      • Teams created before July 1 receive a 20% discount (discounted rate is locked-in. Payment not due by July 1)
    • Fees waived upon request for Title I School (must provide proof of status – e.g. signed letter from school administrator)
    • Fees waived upon request for all-girl teams (must have competitors added to roster)
    • Fees automatically waived for JROTC, Civil Air Patrol, and Naval Sea Cadet Corps teams

REGISTER AS A TECHNICAL MENTOR OR TEAM ASSISTANT

Technical mentors and team assistants can register and join a team at any point during the competition season, though we recommended you join a team prior to the start of the scored rounds in November.

Individuals who are new to CyberPatriot should first create a volunteer account. You must then submit a mentor application through the volunteer dashboard, and will receive an email with a link to a Peoplefacts background check form.

Returning technical mentors and team assistants can sign in with their existing accounts. They do not need to re-register, but must be re-assigned to a team each competition season. You may be asked to re-complete a background check every three years.
