SCARS Q & A
Q: How do I sign up for an event?
A: Log into SCA.org & click on Events
1.You can sign in with your existing username or Member Number. The SCARS deputy recommends using your member number to log in. Your member number from the 1980’s is your SAME member number as today, even if you are not currently a paid member or let your membership lapse.
2.If you are having difficulty logging on to to this site, please contact the SCA Membership office at (800) 789-7486 or This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
3.If you create a new account, you will have a new member number! This can create all kinds of problems and Louise at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. will have to merge your two member numbers. This can cause a delay in registering, esp if it’s the night before registration closes!
Q: Can I register and pay for my friend for an event?
A: YES! You can register and pay for anyone regardless of membership status.
1.To register a member, type in their last name and member number on the “Register your Group”. Click on the Green Checkmark next to their name.
2.To register a non-member, type in their information including their birthday & email address.
Q: I can't click on the "register button"!
A: Trying to click on "register" and nothing happens? There is a pop up window that will prompt you to sign in. Normally this pops up at the top of the screen. Scroll up to find it!
Q: My family discount isn’t working!
A: Family discounts only work for current, paid Family memberships. Make sure your family member is on your family membership!
Q: Why do I need to have my birthdate on my SCA membership profile?
A: The system needs to know how old you are to charge you the correct price. If you are having problems registering, check that your birthdate is correct!
Q: Why do some of the costs in parentheses? ($10.00) Member – Pay at Gate
A: A number in parentheses indicates a negative in accounting. This is a way to zero out the total and ensure the gentle can pay at Gate instead of through SCARS.
Q: Who gets the Royal/Baronial comp?
A: The Event Steward sends the comp list to the SCARS deputy. In the Outlands, Their Royal Majesties, Their Royal Highnesses, and current Landed Baron and Baronesses are comped for events as are visiting Royals/Nobles. If you aren’t sure if you qualify, check with the Event Steward. Make sure to check the box next to Royal/Noble for the comp to be applied.
Q: Why do Royals have a special box to check?
A: Not all royals choose to be comped for events- we let them decide. If their spouse or child isn’t comped, they can still register as a Group.
