Information for Parents
You are not required to stay on site, but we strongly recommend that you do, especially if your children are young or this is their first event.
Please know that the tournament staff cannot be responsible for looking after your children, or their possessions.
Always make sure your child has a way to contact you, and is provided with any necessities such as food, drink, or extra money if you do not wish to remain in the tournament area.
When your child is preparing for the event, encourage him or her to leave any bulky or expensive possessions at home.
Electronics and large collections of cards are hard to keep track of during a big tournament – your child will have a much easier
day without having to worry about these kinds of items.
Trading cards is a big attraction at large tournaments, but if you are concerned about your child trading away valuable cards,
talk to him or her before the event and set some guidelines. You can always have your child check with you before making a trade.
