Event Etiquette

Personal (How you are expected to act)

• Be kind and patient. Generally people are very nice, but sometimes they get wrapped up in what they’re used to and forget to be kind to newbies. Stand your ground, but stay respectful.

• Keep your “stuff” (chairs, blankets, toys, gear bags, rope cans, rope bags, etc.) in a respectable space.

• When you’re done, take your stuff back to your vehicle, trailer, etc. so the next person can use that space.

• Give other competitors ample space to stay focused and do what they need to do as well to stay focused

• Don’t block spectator views.

• If you need to stretch or warm up, keep it in your own area.

• Make sure you know, understand and implement the rules. If you don’t, ask questions. If necessary, admit misunderstanding, we all have a learning curve.
