Glenn nods. "You're allowed to leave after things start to get some more equipment or look up something in the archives, but we do ask contestants to formally check out and check in again when they do. All actual crafting needs to happen on the plaza though, so no taking home some materials to work on in your personal workshop. Also, if you're thinking about looking for some extra members for your team, you can always turn up a couple hours early. There'll be a lot of on-the-spot team-building if previous years are anything to go by."
