Hello,

We are super excited to welcome you to our campus!! We are so glad you could be a part of our tournament this weekend. Please take a moment to read the notes and please read to the bottom as all of the information is important.

1. Tournament headquarters, registration, and the ballot table will all be in the University Center (175 Edgar Road).
   1. There will be seating in the Sunnen Lounge for students as well as in the commons area of the University Center.  Sunnen will close for an event on Friday evening but remain open all day/night on Saturday.
   2. Students/teams can also gather in the commons areas in the other buildings. The EAB (East Academic Building) will also have seating on Saturday in the commons area.
2. We plan to schedule by Friday at noon to allow you maximum time for drops.  Please email jensen@webster.edu if you have a drop. All drops need to be made by then.
3. We are using most of the campus and have created a better map to help you find buildings.  We are also hoping to chalk the sidewalks, but this will be weather dependent.
   1. Our student staff will be standing by to help point you towards buildings.
4. We that ask all coaches to fill out the coaches form to indicate who will be “on duty” during the tournament.  Please don’t fill this out for coaches/supervision that will not be present at the tournament. Please click the link to fill it out. https://forms.gle/kR6ZTbsnqxbSyPsg8
5. We will have a hospitality room for coaches, judges, and bus drivers in Sverdrup 258. 
6. We will also have a concession stand for students in the University Center. Among the items we will have are pizza, mac and cheese, ramen, fruit, candy, fruit snacks, soda, water and juice boxes.
7. Parking—The best place to park would be the parking garage on Garden Ave—568 Garden Avenue or any of the surface lots near there.  Lots P, D and K are your best bets for this weekend.
