ADS Competition - First Day Mandatory?

Does anyone know if the first day of the ADS competition for MSU is mandatory or not? I’ve been to so many different workshops and events for MSU, I really don’t want to miss a day of school to hear more of the same stuff. Is it possible for me to only come on Saturday to take the exam and that’s it? Or do I have to stay overnight?

There were name tags still on the registration table Saturday morning. You should check with MSU, of course, but it wasn’t like they pulled the name tags of the kids that hadn’t shown up yet. Maybe you could come Friday afternoon/evening?

@greeninohio is correct. They were registering people all Friday and Saturday morning. If possible, participate in the Friday dinner. If you will be late, tell them. However, it is worth attending all Friday, if you are serious about MSU and the ADS.
