Guide to Registering for the UKRO Challenge 2024

PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE END CAREFULLY

Step 1 – Preparing for Registration

Before registering a team the Booker should collect all the following information:

  1. The name, email address and mobile number for the Team Captain.

  2. The name and email address for each Team Member.

Reminder of team sizes:

Extrication: 6

Rope: 5

Trauma: 2

Water: 5

Please remember that an individual may only enter one event. The only exception is that a medic may enter both Extrication and Trauma.

  1. A Purchase Order for the entry fee:

Fees for 2024:

Extrication / Rope: £985 + VAT = £1,182

Water: £625 + VAT = £750

Trauma: £520 + VAT = £624

Bookers are able to enter more than one team in one booking. UKRO would encourage this to reduce the amount of administration required.

Step 2 – Choosing your Time Slots

Individual Booking

Individuals who are not competing in any of the challenges can still book to attend the Extrication Workshop at the Challenge itself or the pre-event on-line Trauma Workshop. The fee for each workshop is £160 + VAT = £192. On the registration site there is a tab specifically for booking individual workshops. When booking the Extrication Workshop please look at the timetable for your preferred time and submit this as part of the booking.

Team Booking

There are no time slots for Rope and Water. Teams will be allocated times for their various activities by the respective UKRO Lead and timetables will be published on the UKRO website Challenge 2024 pages.

For Extrication you can book your own time slots. You should first consult the timetable provided.

The time slots are set for Teams 1 – 30 with times allocated for Day 1 Extrication Challenge, Day 2 Extrication Challenge, HGV Challenge and Extrication Workshop across the 2 days. Please choose your time slots carefully as these can only be changed subsequently in exceptional circumstances. Care must be taken where a medic is taking part in both Extrication and Trauma so check the Trauma time slots to avoid any clashes with your Extrication time slots.

Once you have chosen which team you wish to be you will need to click the corresponding tile when you come to book the slot. Slots will disappear once booked. You should keep a note of your Team number although the order that you receive following registration will contain this information. It would be wise to have a number of alternative slots in case your preferred one has already been taken.

For Trauma you can also book your own time slots for the run off times over both days. The instructions for Extrication above equally apply for Trauma. You should first consult the timetable provided.
