"Spectator" - A "spectator" is defined as anyone who is not (a) a volunteer with event operating responsibilities, or (b) a member of a team with the proper credentials/identification. Family members of competing team members wishing to spectate are welcomed. Family members will be required to register with team onsite and sign liability waivers.

Spectators are welcome to observe CDS competitions from within the designated spectator areas and other parts of the site to which they are granted access. Spectators may not enter the course area. Spectators must obey the spectator rules and site use rules at all times and follow the instructions of the competition organizers and marshals.

Permitted Access - Spectators may enter:

1. Technical Inspection Area including practice and testing sites

2. Static Event Areas

Spectators may not sit or stand on any barriers or fences.

No Exceptions—There are no exceptions to the spectator rules. If a spectator does not follow the rules then he/she can be asked to leave the site. Also spectators that violate rules may lead to penalties for their associated team which could include disqualification from the present year’s event as well as exclusion from future competitions.

Photographer Policy—Except for credentialed press photographers all photography must be done from within the designated spectator areas. Credentialed press photographers may be granted access to a designated photographer area under the terms of the separate Photographer Policy.
