Familiarize yourself with the details so you can share them with your team members, or better yet, take them to the site after the meeting so they can familiarize themselves where they will be performing. Let them plan strategies on how to bring in their props and setup.

Parking

On Competition Day:

All teams must check in at the registration area at the UCF Student Union in the area of the first floor atrium. Teams should plan to register between 7:00 A.M. and 9:00 A.M. on Saturday, April 14, 2012.

Each coach or designee will receive necessary information about the tournament. Included will be an official Odyssey coach ID badge. This badge must be worn by the person who will be picking up scores at the competition site and following the awards ceremony.

Don't forget to take your copy of the 'Florida Odyssey of the Mind 2012 Team Conduct Contract' and Media Release Forms. You will need to submit them at the registration table on Saturday morning along with the other forms that may be requested.

Notes For Tournament:

Coach Bulletin Board

A Coach Bulletin Board will be in use and on display from approximately 7:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. during the tournament. The board will be located in the Registration area and after Registration closes, next to the Odyssey Information Table. It is strongly recommended that all coaches check this Coach Bulletin Board several times during the tournament day.

Sportsmanship

Teams and Odyssey supporters are expected to respect each other and their property. Any violations may result in unsportsmanlike penalties, expulsion from the competition and/or from all future competitions. Decisions will be determined by the official State Odyssey Tribunal and decisions will be final.

Integrity of Spontaneous Problems

It is vital that all teams maintain the integrity of the Spontaneous Problem by NOT DISCUSSING IT IN ANY WAY until after ALL tournament competition is completed. Team coaches and other Odyssey supporters are asked to help teams keep the secret by not questioning them until after competitions are finished.

Outside Assistance

NO OUTSIDE ASSISTANCE WILL BE PERMITTED at any time by any one! This includes, but is not limited to, assistance during the day of the tournament. Non-team members may assist in moving, lifting, transporting props, vehicles or other large/heavy items. Non-team members may NOT assemble, repair, apply make up or costumes or in any other way become involved with the materials of the team's solution/performance.

Thank you for your participation and efforts. As a region we will all do very well. Good Luck!
