Returning Members & Annual Deadline

Membership for returning competitors is due every year by January 31st of the competition year.

Example:
If you plan to compete in 2026, your membership must be paid by January 31, 2026.

Why the Deadline Matters

If returning membership fees are paid after the January 31 deadline:

• Your FFC Leaderboard Points will not carry over from the previous season.

• Your leaderboard results will not be posted for ranking purposes.

This ensures fairness and consistency for all competitors.

Extenuating Circumstances

Returning competitors with extraordinary circumstances may petition the FFC Board in writing to request a later payment date.
