Only the line for Phase 1 student entry will be randomized, which means a random number will be drawn to determine the order of the line for Phase 1. We do this because of the overwhelming interest in the game and its proven ability to work and keep students safe.
Everyone with a Phase 1 ticket and randomization wristband will need to return to Kenan Center Drive by 1:00pm. Students will line up based on the number chosen on the randomization wristband. If a student with a wristband comes after security has checked the line, that student will be placed at the end of the Phase 1 line.
