Where to Pick-Up the School Team Packets with Deck Passes
Schools can pick-up their team packet, containing the deck passes, either at the UHSAA office on the Wednesday prior (199 E. 7200 So.) or at BYU on the day of the meet. To pick-up your team packet at BYU, report to the ticket-sellers table by the entrance to the pool balcony.
