Attend in person and be available 6-8 hours on competition day (therefore, competitors may not also volunteer or present at Process Palooza)

A total of 36 competitors will be selected and placed on teams. You won't know who is on your team until the evening before the competition. And, you won't know what process you'll be challenged to improve until the morning of the event. Note: you may be placed in the backup pool depending on the number of competitors.
