TRI 2019 Team Guide - https://bit.ly/2VUZzrV

This guide has information on event information, load in times, rule updates, team lists, maps, workshops, and more please share this with your entire team.

The first few slides lay out some expectations for our event. This year has seen some disrespectful and egregious behavior at events on the part of some event attendees. Please make sure that everyone attending an event representing your team is aware of how they should behave this includes parents and families.
