I dont know how it will be at actual competition but at the DC scrimage there were massive amounts of static built up on the railing for the OI stations, i have decided that if i get roped into driving im going to were my antistatic wrist strap to keep from getting shocked too much, but for grounding just connect yourself to as many different things as possible so that the relative charge of the area is 000000.0000
