All athletes will have at least one hour for a lunch break between events. The Awards Ceremony will start after the final event. The Final Event will start at 5:00 p.m. and includes all Advanced athletes, individual and team.

Check-in for athletes and volunteers is Friday (May 10) from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m. During check-in, athletes will weigh in, receive a wrist band and event shirt, and have their photograph taken. We ask that all athletes be patient with the process. If there is an issue with your information, we will get it resolved. Judges are required to attend the Judges Meeting at 7 p.m. Athlete Check-In and the Judges Meeting are held at the Venue. Volunteers may also check-in to receive their goodie bag, shirt and name tag during this time.
