The event is free and parking fees will apply as normal to all lots on campus. The Washington gymnasts will split into two teams, one Purple and one Gold and compete on all four events. While official judges will be in attendance, scores will not be announced. Instead, celebrity judges such as former Huskies Kristen Linton, Ruby Engreitz and Haley Bogartalong with a surprise group of Husky coaches will pick a winner after a routine from each team. Both teams will compete full routines with music on beam and floor. A silent auction will be held starting when the doors open to the arena at 5:30 p.m. Items include: a signed Husky football, a free pass to the Husky gymnastics camp, guest appearances from the GymDawgs and a lot more. Fans can bid on the items halfway through the meet on the main concourse and then for 20 minutes at the conclusion of the meet up in the Founder's Club. Winners of the auction will be announced during the 5th Event. The 5th Event happens in the Founder's Club after every home gymnastics meet. All fans are welcome to join the GymDawgs upstairs for refreshments, schedule magnets, posters and autographs all for free. The GymDawgs want to make the event interactive and fun for the celebrity judges and audience members. Fans are encouraged to bring signs for the favorite 2013 gymnast and wear the color of the team they would like to cheer for. Lineups for the two teams will be released early the week of the event.
