Register on-line only if you have fish to enter for show or items to enter for auction or if you have never registered for a WAKO show in the last 5 years either in person or by mail.
The database expects your (full) name to be unique. If you have a common name, there is a chance that someone might have already registered under that name and the system will reject the name you entered. If this happens you need to alter your name by either adding a middle initial after your first name, using a nickname for your first name (i.e. Bill or Will instead of William), or as a last resort, add a (2) or (3) after your last name so that it will be unique and re-submit it.
The fields for a second name are optional and should only used if you wish to have a co-participant such as a spouse or child listed on tank or auction labels, awards, and various documents generated by the club.
If you have show fish or auction items they must be registered during the same session that you enter your name and contact information. Once you start your registration session, don't leave and let your browser idle for too long or the server will eventually drop the connection. The system will then reject your name when you start over, so know what you want to register before you start the session. Having a written list of items to refer to is recommended.
To register plants or other non-fish items, choose 'N/A' from the Genus list, then 'plant' or 'misc.' from the Species list, and then use the Location field to name or describe the item.
For users outside the Unites States or Canada, choose 'other' from the State/Prov. list and add your Provence/District etc. in the City field after you enter your City's name.
Review all your show fish and auction items before submitting them to the database and ending the session. Be sure to check that the quantity, location, and for_auction fields are correct for each item. SUBMITTING YOUR ITEMS ENDS YOUR SESSION!
If you later discover an error or need to make minor changes or additions to your entries, you can send your changes via email. You can't re-edit your entries on-line.
If you encounter any problems during on-line registration, contact WAKO for help via email at olradmin@gmail.com.
