Event Flow
We'll be using two arenas to save time.
Everyone should be using the queuing spreadsheet (which we will link through email) to keep track of their fight(s) coming up. When it is almost your fight, you should do your best to be at the queueing table so that you're ready to load in for the next match in a timely manner. This will also be displayed at the event. We can disqualify builders if they go over their 20min repair window, and we can disqualify builders if they're not at the queue table within 2mins of their load-in time.
