Important Update:
We are aware that some candidates experienced difficulty registering and purchasing components due to a third-party internet routing issue outside of our direct control. The issue has been fully resolved.
To ensure all candidates have a fair opportunity to complete their registration and purchases, the registration deadline has been extended to Tuesday, March 3, 2026, at 11:59 PM CST.
