What should I bring
Since the event will last overnight, it is a good idea to bring a pillow and a sleeping bag if you are planning on staying at the venue.
How do teams work
Teams can have up to 4 people. We encourage working with a team, it's more fun! You do not need to form a team before attending the event. There will be plenty of time to find a team after opening ceremonies.
