    A Few Simple Rules:

    • Pits are unavailable if closed. Teams may not access their pit area outside the designated hours. 
    • Keep aisles and the perimeter clear. No chairs, bags, or materials outside your designated space. Teams should set up their allowed equipment fully within their assigned pit space.
