Athlete Briefing: All athletes will receive a briefing 15 minutes before your event begins in the marshaling area. Punctuality is crucial, as latecomers may miss the briefing.
NATION Village: All villages will be setup for you with Nation marquees ready to go. No need to bring a gazebo. This is a chance for you to hang out with your Nation’s representatives. Teams must provide their own mats and deck/camping chairs for their area.
Parking: Use the Main Gate next to the Ramada Hotel. Please don’t leave any valuables in the car. You will also need to pay for day parking. Liquor ban zone in all external areas - The Due Drop Events Centre is proud to be an Alcohol & Smokefree venue. PLEASE NO CHILLY BINS WITH ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES! Security will be on watch.

Rehab Recovery Station: Physio support from Rehab Co and sports massage will be available. On-site event medic: Situated in the Athlete warm up area.
Coffee: Enjoy Coffee on-site nice and early from 6am.
ATHLETE INJURY and SUBSTITUTES during the event - In the case of an athlete sustaining an injury or being unable to compete on the day, their team will unfortunately be automatically disqualified. It is not permissible to substitute another athlete in their place. However, if a team wishes to continue with a substitute athlete solely for the purpose of completing the day, that is acceptable. It is important to note, though, that the score for the events in which the substitute participates will still be recorded as zero.
Additional Notes:
Help keep the venue clean; use provided rubbish bags.
The warm-up zone is inside, near the marshaling area. Arrive on time to avoid missing a WOD.
Be prepared; understand the WOD before you compete. Clear communication with judges is key.
