Hello athletes!
This will be my last group email before the show and there's a lot of info here. Please take the time to read it thoroughly so you know what to expect Friday and Saturday.
As a reminder, all athletes must check-in tomorrow (Friday) between 6:00-7:00pm at Northern Quest. Anyone who does not check in will be removed from the roster.
You will be measured at check-in and classes will be split by height once the check-in process is completed. You'll be able to confirm which class you're in on the LIVE ROSTER once this is done.
If you pre-ordered a hoodie or extra T-shirt, you'll receive these at check-in as well so make sure you get yours Friday!

Check-in, tanning (Center Stage Tan) and the show will all be in the Pavilion at Northern Quest Resort & Casino.
As you approach the casino northbound, you'll take the last driveway on the left, near the parking garage.
If you're staying at the Northern Quest Hotel and would like valet parking, you can turn into the first driveway at the traffic light.

Tickets are available via the link below on the Northern Quest box office site and will be available at the box office as well. There are no restrictions for spectators in regards to masks, vaccines, etc.

TRAINER PASSES
Trainer passes (to provide access to the athlete prep area) will be available at check-in on Friday evening, $100 cash only. Trainers who wish to purchase a pass must have a current NPC membership. The pass provides access to the athlete and spectator area for both sessions.
If your trainer purchases a pass, this provides admission to both sessions so a ticket is not required in addition to the pass.
