Logging: Reps will be logged into your Games site account before 8pm on Sundays, to be validated by the coaches at CFOIB.
Score Cards: We will have official score cards for every week for the designated workout. All score cards must be completed in full and legible and signed by the competitor and corresponding judge. They are to be placed in Coach K’s office by 11am on Saturdays.
