​

School Absence: There are no school absences associated with either tournament.  

Costs: There is no registration or admission cost to families for these events.  

Food: Lunch will be provided for the team on competition days.. There will be concessions at both events, so students can also utilize that for snacks – they will need to bring additional money if they plan to purchase from the concessions.  ​​

​

Dress:  Students should wear their team t-shirts every day of the tournament.  They may want to wear another t-shirt underneath to minimize laundry needs during the 2-day event! These events are casual. Comfortable (closed toe) shoes are required.  Please also make sure team members have their safety glasses. They need these in order to enter the pit areas at the events. Team t-shirts will be distributed prior to the first event. 

​

Code of Conduct:  Every student on each trip is expected to represent the team and honor the WWHS Team 1389 and WWHS participation code of conduct. The code will be reviewed before the tournament trips; it includes a commitment to arrive at competition each day on time and ready to participate, stay at the event until the team departs, and observe FIRST and WWHS codes of conduct.
