Check-out will be dependent on the number of teams, but we expect a range between 1pm and 3pm. This information will be updated after unit registration closes. 

Cost Information

Units will pay for competition by using a Unit Fund Transfer (UFT). This will allow for a unit to change its participants if a team member is unable to attend after the team is registered. Participants will pay their units and the Squadron will conduct a UFT to lump sum the costs to Wing .

Cost per team member (cadets and senior escorts) is $30

Cost per staff member (cadets and seniors) is $25
