Updated Check-in Procedure Required Paperwork for Team Check-in
On tournament day, all coaches will be required to present a print out of your team's National team registration from the FIRST Dashboard showing their full team roster, including students, mentors and coaches.
Go into your dashboard to the team area, to the team contacts/roster section. Click the contact options blue button and then click the print roster.
Note: We will be keeping the print out. Phone/screenshots will be not be accepted.
Pit Access
The Pit Area will only be accessible to team members, mentors and coaches only.
All teams will be issued wristbands, at check-in, to access the pit area.
We will only issue the number of wristbands that corresponds with the number of team members, coaches and mentors listed on the FIRST Dashboard printout. No exceptions.
Wristband Distribution
Team Members will be not permitted to enter the Pit Area until the coach has arrived.
Coaches, please plan to arrive a few minutes BEFORE your team, to check-in and retrieve all wristbands for your team. We suggest planning ahead to identify a meet-up location OUTSIDE of the venue, so you can enter as a team with wristband ON.
Coaches, if you cannot meet your team outside the facility at one time, please identify one person (other than yourself) for each team to distribute the wristbands OUTSIDE of the pit area and AWAY from the team-check-in area. No one will be allowed to enter the pit area without a wristband ON their wrist (not in your hand).
Parents, Spectators and Siblings are not allowed in the pit area this season. All will be directed the competition area upon arrival. NO exceptions. We apologize for any inconvenience.
