  • Each round will be divided into groups to help them run more efficiently. We will call the groups in order, along with a last call during the last group.

All Competitors

  • Shortly following the new competitor introduction at 8:20, we will also hold a judging tutorial. All competitors should attend this tutorial. If you are a parent and would like to be entertained for the duration of the day, judging would be a great option for you!
  • Please try to arrive at least 30 minutes early for the events you are competing in to ensure that you are on time for that event.
  • We will use regulation 9p3) for all final rounds. If you are not present when a final starts, you will be withdrawn from that final.
  • It would be wonderful if we could get some volunteer help from the parents. This would require either being present at the judging tutorial or to have someone teach you how to judge later in the day. Judge for however long you'd feel like. It's an excellent way to make the time fly by!
  • Your delegates and organizers for this competition is Katie Hull and Jacob Ambrose. Ask them if you have any questions throughout the day!
