What to Bring for EXL

This is stuff that you should bring specific to EXL, in addition to the stuff listed on the general What to bring list.

1. Do bring tournament attire. We’re going to practice in it once, and we’ll have a showcase at the end of camp you’ll want to wear something nice for.

2. Do bring your laptop, if you have one. Don’t stress if you don’t.

3. Do not bring your tubs and files. You will not need them and won’t be using them anyway.

4. Bring a stopwatch.
