3ABG Accreditation

* Registration on sports category and athletes number – 24:00, 29 February 2012 (UTC +8 Beijing Local Time)
* Registration on sports tasks and athletes names – 24:00, 30 April 2012 (UTC +8 Beijing Local Time)

But it does mean that athletes and other team personnel who are registered after the deadline will have to apply for, and pay for a Chinese visa in the normal way.

h5. Registration procedure:

* Information about ABG accreditation can be found in the Accreditation guide at [http://www.haiyang2012.cn/en/zc/] and [Instructions on Completing the Accreditation Application Form|3ABG Accreditation^Instructions on Completing the Accreditation Application Form.pdf] but only your National Olympic Committee (NOC) can actually register athletes and other participants in the Asian Beach Games.
* For this purpose your NOC has been sent a login into the ABG online accreditation system.
* It is a requirement that all athletes in the Powered Paragliding (Paramotor) event at ABG have a valid FAI Sporting Licence. It is FAI NACs responsibility to issue these, and means NACs should recommend team members in the Powered Paraglider event to their NOC for them to approve and submit each accreditation.
* To prevent delay, NACs should assemble all the required information about each participant they will be recommending before they send it to their NOC.
