Check-In & Warm-Up

Upon arrival, teams should proceed directly to their designated field or area, as indicated by event staff. Parking is typically available in lots adjacent to the fields, allowing for relatively easy unload of gear and coolers. Allow yourselves a solid hour for check-in, setting up your team’s base camp with chairs and shade, and completing your pre-game warm-ups. Familiarize yourselves with the field layout and locate nearest restrooms and water sources during this time.

Mid-Day Regroup

Between games, teams can utilize the open spaces around Baker Bowl for downtime, strategy sessions, or light recovery. Packable lunches and snacks are your best friend here; utilize designated team areas for cooler storage. Hydration is key, so keep water bottles filled and accessible. If the schedule allows for a longer break, consider a quick walk to a nearby park or a short drive to a local cafe for a change of scenery.

Wrap-Up & Departure

As your final game concludes, begin the pack-up process efficiently. Ensure all team belongings and trash are collected from your designated area. If there are multiple teams departing at once, follow traffic flow directions from event staff to avoid congestion in parking areas. Post-game meals or celebrations can be planned either at a local restaurant in downtown Baker City or at your hotel for a more relaxed wind-down.
