MECA teams are created by the Retail Members to enhance their customers and employees visibility at MECA events. MECA team members can travel together, work together, and enjoy their MECA experiences more when part of a properly managed MECA team. The team is recognized when the Retail Member pays for the yearly membership fee. MECA teams can be independent of any Retail Member affilliation, and the team must pay a yearly membership fee of $75 for this recognition and service.

MECA team members must tell the event registration person that they are on a team, and make sure that this is entered on their score sheet on the line that says "MECA Team". The MECA member MUST present their membership card and make sure that their membership number is listed on the score sheet. They must do this at every event. MECA team members must be MECA members in good standing to be listed as team members in the results. This means that their membership must be current.

MECA members who are on MECA teams will have that team name listed next to their event result on the website. This takes extra time and effort, but is much easier for the person entering the results when the score sheet is properly filled out, listing the MECA team on the appropriate line. MECA team registration includes one competition membership, good for one competition vehicle. A membership card will be issued to the Retail Member or the independent team for the vehicle. This vehicle is usually for the owner of the store, but it can be assigned to one competitor, and only one competitor, for the season. For independent teams, the card is usually issued to the President, but it can be issued to a designated team member for competition use and privleges.

We have established a MECA Team Participation Award that is presented at the end of the season. It is presented to the team that has the most members entered at MECA shows throughout the season. Each member counts one time, for each show attended. This is not based on the number of entries each member makes, but on the fact that they were there and competed. For example, Jimmy Loud of Team Really Loud gets 1 pt. for being at the show, not a point for each format entered; i.e. SPL, Radical X, Reality SPL, DBSPLSO, SQ, etc. If 5 team members enter a given event, then the team gets 5 pts. toward the Participation Award. If a MECA team member is not properly recognized in the Event Results, then the team captain or team member can notify Steve Stern or the Event Director of the mistake, or omission, and have it corrected. It is preferable that the Event Director is notified directly, but, if necessary,email Steve at commissioner@mecacaraudio.com for this purpose.
