Interesting thing I found on the North Carolina HS Asso. web site.
It appears that NC has so many officials that they can mandate an extra fee to sign up if you miss a deadline "for ANY reason"

THE EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS NOW JUNE 1st INSTEAD OF JUNE 30th. IF YOU REGISTER AFTER THAT DEADLINE, THE FEE WILL INCREASE $10.00 FOR EACH SPORT.

ALSO NEW - THERE ARE NOW DEADLINES FOR RECEIVING YOUR REGISTRATION CARDS. FOR FOOTBALL, VOLLEYBALL, AND SOCCER, IF YOU REGISTER AFTER JUNE 1st, YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR CARD.

FOR BASKETBALL AND WRESTLING, IF YOU REGISTER AFTER SEPTEMBER 1st YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR CARD.

FOR BASEBALL AND SOFTBALL, IF YOU REGISTER AFTER DECEMBER 1st YOU WILL NOT RECEIVE YOUR CARD.

THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS TO THESE NEW DEADLINES!
