CBTF Group Declaration Form

Revised January/2012

Some reminders about Group Declarations:

Groups can be entered in the Primary division at Open and Provincial-level Competitions. At the Canadian Winner/Championships, Primary entries will be combined into the Juvenile division.
All group events, except Pre-Group, require the CBTF Group Event Declaration
Coaches are expected to establish the Level of their group only at the beginning of the season. Coaches should not change (raise or lower) the level of any particular group after the group's first competition. Mandatory Advancement, through scores received during the competition season, will still apply.
Group Declarations must be submitted no later than your Provincial Championship entry deadline. However, some provinces do set an earlier deadline, so check with your Provincial Group Rep to be certain about the deadline in your particular situation.
Please note that Group Declarations are required for all groups - whether they are entered in the Provincial Winner/Championship or not. These Declarations are required by our Data Entry Coordinator in order to correctly calculate points for the Group Challenge Cup - which accumulate points by club.

Clarification regarding submission:

Clubs complete and submit the Declaration Forms to the Provincial Group Rep.
Forms can be printed and signed, OR,
Forms can be completed electronically (in MS Word) and sent by email. In the case of email submissions, the Club is strongly encouraged to follow-up with the Provincial Group Rep to ensure the email was received.
