Here you can find the latest information for spectators and participants.
This page is constantly updated and adapted to the latest guidelines set out in the NRW Coronavirus Protection Ordinance and by the Public Health Authority.
Over the last few days, the Coronavirus Protection Regulations have changed frequently, and more and more new requirements are being introduced and, in most cases, implemented with immediate effect.
What are the current rules for spectators and participants?
Admission is restricted to those who are 2G (vaccinated or have recovered).
Young people up to and including the age of 15 are considered ‘2G’ even if they have not been vaccinated.
There are no further exceptions (e.g. a doctor’s certificate, etc.)
Inside the hall, medical masks must be worn by everyone aged 6 and over.
We recommend wearing an FFP2 mask
Doors open at 10 am.
It starts at 12 noon.
There are three prize-giving ceremonies.
To be prepared for any potential short-term tightening of restrictions (e.g. 2G+), we recommend that all spectators and participants take a certified rapid test.
This must not be more than 24 hours old at the time of entry.
Please note that the entry requirements may change at short notice due to official regulations.
We’ll keep you up to date here too.
And no, we don’t make the rules. But we have to enforce them and we also support them in order to ensure that the event is as safe as possible for all participants and spectators.
