Competition passes, also known as coaches passes, will not be allowed at State Fair Arena. This is to help allot more tickets to individual schools and their fans.

Masks or face coverings will be required for entry and for everyone during competitions. State Fair and OS SA A staff will remove f ans who don't comply with the mask rule.
