FORMAT
Expected format is one round of pools with all promoting to a direct elimination bracket.
ARRIVAL: the venue opens one hour before the first close of check in for the day, athletes should arrive no later than one hour before their close of check in so they have time to prepare for event start. Events will start as close to the posted close of check-in as possible.
PARKING: Street parking is available, but not always easy to find. We recommend budgeting a little extra time to find parking, and to give whatever offerings to the Parking Gods that you see fit (Coach Jake recommends burning sage)
