Last year we decided to start with a new approach for escorting competitors to the competition area. In previous years we noticed that many people gathered around the squares, sometimes leading to confusing situations. This year we will take the same approach as last year. First of all, you are only allowed in the competition area if you are actively competing or actively coaching. If you are not competing or are not actively coaching, please stay behind the fences. This is to ensure the competitors have the space they need to compete at their fullest potential. Secondly, our announcers will call out every group which needs to get ready to compete. They will provide you the details of the holding area, but the concept is simple: Area A, B or C. From this holding area you will be escorted to the square you will be competing at.
Besides our announcers calling out where you need to be, we will also have a giant screen that shows the holding area and the current group that needs to gather in that area. Please make sure to go to the holding area as soon as you hear/see your group is called out. We will have a full day of competition, and we would prefer to avoid any delays. On the map below you can see where the holding area is, and it also shows where the weigh-in is on Saturday (A) and Friday (B). Please make sure to go to the weigh-in area, even if you don’t need to be weigh-in as we will need to confirm your attendance! For those who want to print a map, you can download a PDF here.
