NAGVA Help Center
You may need to reach out to the local tournament director, registrar, or the assigned regional commissioners for a specific tournament. Finding the contact information is easy.
Tournament Listings
You start with the Tournament lists on the NAGVA website: https://nagva.org/tournaments. Navigate to the tournament you are interested in.
Contact Details
On each tournament details page, you will find the local tournament's contacts on the upper-left side of the page. Each of the names will have a link to start an e-mail with them.
Tournaments are independently run by local committees, and they choose how to accept payments for their tournaments. The payment system for each tournament is not linked to the NAGVA website. Each tournament committee must manually update a team's status as payments are made, and there will likely be a delay between the time the payment is made and the time the status is updated.
Who can I contact about the payment status for my team?
If you have any questions about tournament registration fees, you can reach out to the local tournament director who is running the tournament. You can find the tournament director information on any tournament page in the upper-right corner of the page. Click their name and that will give open an e-mail where you can ask them.

Most tournaments nowadays accept electronic payments using PayPal. And in most cases, the relevant PayPal link is listed in the NAGVA website. Here's how to find the link (and also see if other payment methods are accepted):
Step 1 - On the blue horizontal menu, click on "Tournaments".
Step 2 - On the left hand side, select the tournament you want to pay the registration fee for.
Step 3 - On the left hand side, find the box called "Payment Details". This box contains instructions for each accepted method of payment (e.g., where to mail a check), a PayPal link that will take you to the tournament website and, occasionally, an embedded pane that allows you to add the registration fee to your PayPal cart.
Important note: Make sure your team is registered for the tournament before paying registration fees. Tournament directors and registrars must be able to identify what team you're paying for in order to process your payment appropriately!
