The meet bid form is the method for submitting your meet bids to the meet scheduling committee. Simply complete and submit a form for each of your club’s meet bids. Please note the closed weekends when submitting bids.
Completing the Meet Bid Form
The meet bid form allows the Meet Scheduling committee to gather and provide clubs with complete and consistent meet information. The form is divided into three sections:
- Basic Meet Information (dates, host club, meet name, location, etc.)
- Meet Type (meet type, course type, meet category, age group)
- Meet Fees (individual fees, relay fees, facility fees, travel fund, parking, other)
Click the link to the Meet Bid Form to get started. After completing all required fields (identified by an asterisk) in a section, click NEXT. After completing the entire form, click SUBMIT.

Meet bids submitted will automatically populate the 2023 Long Course Bid Schedule posted on the NCS website. Here, you can view what you’ve submitted.
