Media Credential Information -- Spring Tournaments

Media should always contact site managers in advance for all District, Regional and Quarterfinal events, and for Semifinals and Finals in events not listed on this page. Links to application forms for credentials for individual Finals tournaments will be posted as they approach. You may not apply for credentials until after the Regional round of play is completed for a sport.

By submitting a credentials request, the requesting party agrees to all of the MHSAA Terms & Conditions for media credential usage.

All requests must be made by the Sports Editor, Sports Director, Photo Editor or Assignment Desk.

No credential requests are guaranteed. The MHSAA reserves the right to deny any request for any reason. The MHSAA does not issue credentials for freelance writers, freelance or commercial photographers, or recruiting services. The MHSAA will not honor walk-up requests for credentials at Finals venues. If your outlet already has an MHSAA Finals Pass for the 2007-08 school year, it is not necessary to apply for most Fall events.
