All local, state, and federal mandates in place at the time of the event will be instituted to comply with all necessary safety measures.

As a courtesy to others the tournament staff encourages masks to be worn at all times when not eating or drinking (whether a mask mandate is in place at the time of the event or not). Specifically, unvaccinated guests are encouraged to wear a mask while not eating or drinking.

The Convention Center is a certified GBAC facility (Global Bio-risk Advisory Council). GBAC STAR is the gold standard of prepared facilities. This accreditation means that the facility has established and maintained a cleaning, disinfection, and infectious disease prevention program to minimize risks associated with infectious agents like the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2).

The facility has their very own heating and air conditioning system which is a Fresh Air System which ensures the quality of air in the building. Fresh air is continuously pushed through from the outside and in turn, the old existing air is pushed out.

With nearly 120,000 square feet indoors plus a spacious outdoor courtyard, capacity will not reach any excess of 50% for the building at any point in time.

24-hour cleaning and sanitation in the convention center, using approved disinfectants. We have always had strong sanitization measures to clean and sanitize the facility and frequently touched surfaces. We are increasing those standards.

Functional space is being utilized to a maximum, including new outdoor space suitable for hundreds of guests.
