The staging area inside the Casa del Bicentenario filled with timer mats, display monitors, and scrambling stations long before the opening round got underway. A tireless group of organizers, delegates, and community volunteers spent the morning preparing the hall, setting up scorecards, and briefing staff to ensure every round ran smoothly across a packed schedule.
