COMMON QUESTIONS
Can I watch the competitions with an Expo Only pass?
Yes. Both passes include viewing for all competitions.

How do I enter a competition?
Add Dent Olympics, Dent Wars or Paint Correction to your pass at checkout.
Is this the last MTE in Orlando?
Yes. MTE moves to Daytona Beach in 2028.
