Bringing Food into Competition Venues

[Kevin Sevcik]

Also, in the interests of full disclosure, my girlfriend is a celiac and thus can't have anything with wheat, barley, oats, or rye in it without becoming very ill. This means about all she can have at a competition is Dippin' Dots and juice or sodas. So we talk with the regional directors to get special permission to bring in a FEW snacks for her and still make the usual arrangements for lunch in the parking lot that goes for the whole team. Always better to work with the system.

Plus, like Billfred said, you can always bring in a water bottle for hydration. As I recall, FIRST very specifically allowed this.
