COVID 19 Protocols

Introduction

An inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. By participating in our competition, you are voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19. In an effort to minimize the possible transmission of Covid-19, the following protocols will be enacted and enforced to ensure the safety of our coaches and competitors.

Help keep each other healthy.

Masks will be required in ALL INDOORS SPACES for all individuals ages two and up (regardless of vaccination status). In the pit areas, it is highly encouraged that masks are worn as well.

Attendees

In order to achieve social distancing, capacity at our event will be regulated. In addition to the registered team and its members, the following attendees are welcome to the event:
Coach (up to 2)

Parents (up to 2 per team)

Unfortunately, we cannot allow spectators that are not the teams, coaches, nor parents.

Pits

Tables will be socially distanced and in an open area.
Teams from the same school will be grouped together.
We ask that teams do not move tables and chairs in order to maintain these protocols.
Screens will be placed around the pit area in order to communicate standings and to broadcast the matches taking place.

Practice Fields

Teams are encouraged to bring their practice fields to the competition. Practice fields will be housed in the multi purpose room

The team work qualifying matches and the skills challenge will take place in the Cafeteria. In order to ensure the safety of all volunteers and participants, the people allowed in this room will be as follows:

1. Alliance competing in current match (1 or 2 drivers from each team and each team’s coach)

2. Alliances setting up for the next two matches (1 or 2 drivers from each team and each team’s coach)

3. Teams participating in the skills challenge.(1 or 2 drivers from the team (two) and the team’s coach)

4. 1 Head Referee

5. 5 Scorers

6. 5 Field Resetters

By limiting the number of people in this room, I will be able to space out the fields and lower the risk of exposure.

The school reserves the right to disqualify teams and remove violators from the premises. This event has voluntary participation and is provided by a non- governmental, private institution. This policy exists to protect the health and safety of students; please do not attend if you feel you cannot abide by this requirement.
