# of Spaces for your School

When you register your school, you request a certain number of spots. Most schools will request 5 to 25 depending on the size of your school. After January 28th, you will check your school coordinator dashboard and find out exactly how many spots you are allowed. Usually we can honor all requests; however, there only 2,000 available spots at Queeny Park. If the total request is over 2,000 we sometimes have to cut back a few spots for some schools.
Judges

For you school to participate, you will need to provide 1 judge for every 5 spaces you request during the School Registration process.
