Site Rules
In addition to all the FIRST rules that govern this sanctioned
event we would like to thank you in advance for your cooperation
in following these additional site rules.
- Team
members, coaches and event officials only in the pit area. (We do
not want this area to get congested as this will be your “home” for
the day. We are sensitive to your need for a good work area and
would appreciate it if you would inform your fans that this area
is restricted.)
- No large banners or signs that would restrict the view of other
teams in the pit area, competition area or anywhere that would
obstruct the view of fans or participants.
- No portable stereos or musical devices. Additionally no loud
noise makers that could interfere with announcements. (We would
hate to have a team be disqualified because they missed their match
because they could not hear the announcement calling for their
team.)
- Please stay in event areas only.
