COVID-19: All of our events will comply with the required state mandates for face masks and for social distancing. We will also give individual freedoms where those are suggested. As we get closer to the event we will publish to all attendees the exact procedure we will use. As of now we will require all teams to be in groups of 10 or less and to move between the events in these groups. Unless required by state mandate, social distancing within the team groups and their parents will be up to the teams. We will have social distancing between teams.
