Music
All coaches need to have their team music on to both an AUDIO CD and a copy of their music on their phone/mp3player. If you will be using your phone to play the competition music, it is your responsibility to have it on airplane mode.
Alternates in the Warm-up Area
Only the participants and team personnel who have been issued one of the Participant Passes are allowed to enter the designated team areas.
