USMS has introduced a new online sanctions request process. This thread was created to answer questions about the new system.
The general concept of the new process is as follows.
The event director goes to www.usms.org and under the “Competition” tab, selects “Sanction an Event” to begin the process.
The event director enters the event information. He indicates whether he wishes to apply for a sanction or recognition, or whether he just wants the event to be listed on the calendar.
When the event is submitted, an email is sent to the LMSC Sanctions chair.
The Sanctions chair logs into the system and reviews the information.
If the event director requested a sanction or recognition, the sanctions chair contacts the event director and sends him a list of any additional requirements he needs to meet before a sanction or recognition will be granted (such as payment of a sanction fee, submission of a Coast Guard approval, etc.) if the LMSC has any such requirements.
If this was a Calendar-only request, the Sanctions chair reviews it to ensure that it is not spam and then approves it. The event goes into the USMS Calendar of Events.
The event director submits all requested items to the Sanctions chair.
The Sanctions chair logs into the system and grants the sanction. A sanction number is assigned to the event and the event goes into the USMS Calendar of Events.
