• The event is featured on the AAU app.
• Event registration must require the utilization of Exposure.

AAU App

AAU provides a dedicated mobile app accessible on both the App Store and Google Play Store. This app functions as an all-inclusive platform, showcasing AAU licensed events alongside events connected from other event director accounts. It offers users a centralized hub for accessing event information.

Event Registration

Participation in AAU girls' rankings requires that events utilize Exposure's registration system to effectively monitor connected teams. This approach ensures the consistent association of events with their respective teams, enabling accurate and well-managed ranking calculations and tracking.

Coach Accounts

In addition to event registration, coaches are mandated to create user accounts, facilitating seamless management of their respective teams across multiple events. This unified approach streamlines team management within the rankings system, and it's important to note that the option to disable this feature is not available for events connected to the rankings.

AAU Memberships

AAU licensed events requires that all participants maintain an active AAU Membership. This membership must be obtained through the official AAU website and then recorded in Exposure's team roster before the event begins. Exposure's system has the functionality to monitor these teams and showcase those that have successfully completed their rosters with valid AAU Memberships.

Events that do not complete their rosters by ensuring that all participants have obtained AAU Memberships through the correct procedure will be subject to removal from the rankings.
