A Principal's signature is required at the bottom of each roster submitted. Please alphabetize your forms and divide them into 2 separate piles-one for Medical Release Forms and one for Media Release Forms. We will be checking these against your team roster(s).

Students without wristbands will not be admitted to their events. For events with an impound, anyone on the team with a wrist band may impound the apparatus. This includes competitors, coaches and alternates. Please read the Wristband directives that you will find in your registration packet at check-in.
Homerooms Homeroom numbers will be listed on your registration packet. Please do not switch homerooms as we will need to know where everyone is should any issues arise throughout the day. Your school will be responsible for any fees incurred due to improper usage or cleanup in the room. Rosters and Alternates
The students should go around on Friday and find their event rooms so that they do not get lost on Saturday. It is a big campus, so they should stay in small groups with a chaperone.
