Additional Notes

    _They ask that students competing at the High School leave their coats and bags in the auditorium before going to cafeteria. I assume this is to avoid a bunch of clutter and unnecessary space being taken up in the cafeteria.

    _Remember, if you are not competing in a final round, you should be watching a final.

    _No MS event appears to have exceeded 30 entries. Therefore, there will be no final rounds taking place in any MS events.
