So please sign up at your earliest convenience. Every team will be interviewed by the judges. We will be selling food as a fundraiser so please plan on staying for lunch. There will be a 45 minute break in order to end in a timely manner and give our refs a break. Judges may be conducting interviews during the lunch break. Please check before you leave the building.
