* Shuttles to and from the Marriott will run continuously until everyone is transported to Woodward, but please be punctual so that the shuttle can run on-time. The shuttle will drop off in front of the dining hall, a short walk to the Chapel (adult hospitality) and the Middle School Cafeteria (student hospitality).

** Shuttles from Woodward will depart from the driveway in front of the dining hall. Shuttles will run continuously until everyone is transported back to the hotel, but please be punctual so that the shuttle can run on-time.

*** On Saturday evening, the first shuttle will leave Woodward following the Awards Assembly. Additional shuttles will run after the conclusion of the first elimination round. 

 

This schedule is of course subject to change.
