We have organised our judges and head judge to do a briefing before your WODS so not to worry if you are unsure about anything. As always, Deach will have a question box on instagram before the event so keep an eye out to ask any questions or view any answers.
TEAM UNIFORMS
Due to the delayed orders from a few teams - All uniforms will be shipped direct to Discipline Performance Gym in East Tamaki, Auckland.
We want to ensure all team members have their uniform before Oceania Cup and therefore they will be ready and sorted for pick up at the registration on the Friday before Oceania.
Due to unforeseen circumstances with Maxlift Australian, this was out of our control but we have made sure we have chosen the best alternative option.

Every team representing their chosen nation will be stationed together for the duration of the day. Village Marquees have been provided and set up for you. Teams are responsible for who they allow into the tent area but we ask that you keep these areas reserved specifically for Athletes - do not bring valuables with you. Please respect your space and leave it as you find it.
