Parents' Guide: Do We Have to Stay for the Whole Competition?

Do We Have to Stay for the Whole Competition?

No. If the competition is over multiple days but the event(s) you are competing in are on a single day, then you do not have to be at the competition on days you do not have events.

Please do not leave an under 18 at a competition unattended.

We encourage competitors to stay at the competition, even if they have finished competing, to help with the competition.

All competitions are run by volunteers and rely on competitors (and parents/spectators) helping when they are not competing (see Can I Help at Competitions?) to ensure the competition runs smoothly and on time.
