Teams Info

Announcements

• (2/22) From the chemistry event supervisor:  "All glassware and chemicals will be provided for Chem Lab. We do ask that all teams bring their own aprons/lab coats and goggles though."  Forensics and Detector Building are running in the same lab room.
• (2/20) Geologic Mapping cancelled.  (Should be the last cancellation.)
• (2/12) Disease Detectives cancelled.
• (2/12) Impound now ends 8:00.  Volunteers will do their best to quickly evaluate devices for compliance so students can get to 8:00 events.  Teams in a rush may "drop and go", with compliance checked by judges before their time slot (but no opportunity to fix it).  Teams waiting for compliance verification will be processed in the order they arrive.  Only one team member must be present.  If a team needs to modify their device for compliance, they will be re-checked the end of the queue.
• (2/6) Event Choice - Since Nationals only run 23 events, but the state has 28 on the list, teams must opt out of 5 events.  Any events cancelled by the tournament do not count toward the 5 opt out events.  At event supervisors' discretion, teams may participate in opt-out events, but they will not affect the rankings of other teams officially participating in those events.
• (2/6) Signups - We'll send links for signups via email to coaches.
• (2/6) Flight - uses half of a basketball/volleyball gym.  This provides at least 13 m by 15 m of floor space, at least 7 m high.
• (1/28) Cybersecurity cancelled.
