1. Review the rules and run through the inspection checklist about a week before the competition so your team has ample time for adjustments. The inspection checklist and other competition documents can be found on the Documents tab.

• Spare parts & tools

3. Remember that safety comes first.

• Please don't bring tools that pose a safety risk to your team or others nearby.

4. Each player and coach/mentor must have a completed and signed Participation and Consent Form.
