FAQs

  • What do I need to bring to Wichita Corporate Challenge events?

    Teams will supply their own team t-shirts and uniforms if desired. Check the “Event Rules” section for details on equipment supplied and equipment necessary for each event.

    Teams may bring their own snacks, drinks, etc. to the events held at the Wichita Collegiate Campus. Water coolers will be available at various locations around the campus. Food and beverages are not allowed indoors except in designated areas. Alcoholic beverages and smoking are not allowed at Wichita Collegiate School.

    Other venue locations do not allow food and beverages to be brought in, however you can purchase the items from them.

  • Do I need my ID for Wichita Corporate Challenge?

    Yes. Participation in Wichita Corporate Challenge is for company employees only. In order to ensure fairness, Games Officials reserve the right to ask participants to produce one of the following:

    • Company ID (security card) proving they work for the company in question.
    • Driver’s License or other photo ID

    Therefore, all participants must be able to produce ID on every day of each event in which they participate. Participants who are asked and are unable to produce an ID at the games will be forfeited from the event.

    NO ID = NO PLAY, NO EXCEPTIONS
