Please note: These are not "start" times. All competitors must present themselves at the staging location when called. Competitors will not be called any earlier than the time listed above, but they may be called after the staging time if divisions are delayed.
Competitors may be in staging up to an hour and then will be assigned to a ring.
Except for the first round of competition, there will be at least one division already in the ring when competitors are assigned to a ring, so they will not compete until the prior division has finished.
