Instant Challenge
All Instant Challenges will take place in the Union Building. The Instant Challenge Check in room is 215, the Flag Room.
Awards Ceremony
The Awards Ceremony will take place around 4:45 pm in two separate locations this year, based on Challenge. We grew so much this year the UB Union can hardly hold us! We will announce the split as soon as possible, but half the tournament will meet in the Theater, and half in the Knox Lecture Hall. Please note that there is some uncertainty in the starting time of the ceremony, as we cannot begin until all of the teams’ scores have been tabulated.
Free Tournament Parking is available in the Jarvis A and B Lots, across White Road from the Student Union. Please DO NOT PARK in the Bookstore lot, your car will be towed. The tournament is taking place on the last Saturday of Spring Break, so the Jarvis lots should be very open for our use. (See UB North Campus map – UB Student Union is building 28)

Prop Drop Off
Props may be dropped off at the main doors to the Student Union off of Putnam Way or the Lee Loop. Please load/unload quickly as to not disrupt traffic. Also, if at all possible please plan on unloading your props into, and removing them from the building as close to your performance time as possible so we do not clog the building with sets.
