What must team members do before entering the field?

Team members must wait for the green signal before entering the field to ensure safety and proper protocol is followed during competitions. The green signal serves as an indicator that the playing field is ready for team entry, typically after any previous matches have concluded and all necessary checks have been completed by event staff. This procedure helps maintain an organized and safe environment for both teams and officials, allowing for an orderly transition between matches.

While checking equipment is important for optimal performance and safety, this action is often done prior to the green signal being given. Removing shoes and gathering in the pit area are not typical requirements for entering the field, as they do not directly pertain to the entry protocol associated with the competition environment.
