"Welcome sirs..... are you participants or observers?"
"_"
At the forefront of the crowd, were several staffers.... who were there to record names and give out badges.
"Sirs.... participants or observers?" Asked a 17-year-old staff.
"Participants!" They said in unison.
"Alright... may I ask for your names?"
"Danver Wallace."
"Ibrahim Myi."
"Hmhm..... Here are your participant badges for the entire 3-week event.
Make sure you don't loose them..... and good luck."
"Thank you." They replied while taking the badges from the lady.
Immediately, they placed it around their necks and made their way in.
The bases on their necks were red and large written numbers printed on them.
Of course for observers, their badges were blue instead.
This was the only way that those organizing the event would be able to do their jobs properly.
