Pre-registration:
Effective 1 October, all competitors must pre-register 72 hours before the scheduled match. This means the cut off date to have your name on the list is Wednesday prior to a Saturday Match/Practice. The club will have to update the roster every 90 days of members competing in the matches or practices.

Base Access: All non-DoD personnel (civilians) will have to provide the following to Santa Margarita so we can submit a list to Marine Corps Base 72 hours before any Santa Margarita event, i.e., practices and matches. This doesn’t have anything to do with retired military personnel or personnel with a DOD ID Cards. MCB, CamPen will start scanning DL/ID Cards at the gate and if you are not on the list in the system (CanPen) you may be denied access on base.
