This includes all students, teachers, coaches, mentors, parents, and spectators associated with a team.

Judging Note:

• Judging interviews will be in-person, on the competition floor. Physical notebooks must be submitted at sign-in. Notebooks will not be accepted once qualifying matches begin. Digital nottebooks will NOT be accepted.

Skills Notes:

• We will again use the ticketing system(with improvements!) to determine the order of skills runs, negating the need to stand in line. Teams may request one ticket. Once their run is complete, they may request another ticket.
• Skills runs will begin after the completion of the driver meeting, estimatred at 9:15am.
• Skills will end approximately 1 hour before the end of qualification matches to give the judges a chance to incorporate skills results.
• The EP, in consulation with the skills field volunteers, will determine the close time for skills and announce the time at 2pm.
• Close time is a hard deadline. The team(s) on the skills fields at closing time will be the last runs of the day. Those still holding tickets will not be able to run.
