Getting Started & FAQ
The sanction process is entirely web-based, hosted and handled by the USAT website. Event directors familiar with the sanction process will recognize that most of the flow and function of the old "sanction application" becomes the Event Safety Plan. The process will walk the event director through the design of a safety plan specific to their event. Event directors will be able to upload their own course maps for sanction approval.
