Pit Size at Worlds

Hi all. A small question but - I noticed in the info for MS/ES this year that the pits at 8x8. However I swear they were 10x10 last year! Can anyone confirm that they are indeed smaller this year? Trying to plan decor and general gear with a 7-member team. Thanks!

The pits are 8’x8’ this year, and they indeed were 10’x10’ last year, so yes there has been a 36% reduction in floor area per team.

I know you can not bring floating balloons. Are we able to pin things to the pit walls? Trying to see what other restrictions there are.

Realize the “pit walls” are standard pipe-and-drape fabric like trade shows and conventions…so the other side of “your wall” is you colleague’s pit…kind of rude to pin through to the other side. Instead, plan on using floor-standing stuff or hanging stuff from the horizontal top bar of the pit with zip ties. There will be 2 or 3 gaps between the drapes to put the zip ties, or maybe make some S-hooks from coathanger wire. Your official team sign will be hanging there (its about 8" tall and 3’ wide) and you can’t cover it up.
