If you have special requirements or reminders for the students in your event (such as if the event will be a dry lab, you want them to bring a ruler, etc), please let me know. I will send out a summary prior to the tournament.

I will email a dropbox link after the tournament with the test and answer key files. Your team will receive their completed tests back at the end of the tournament. The tests from the Haslett Invitational will also be available after the tournament.

Build Events

If you are running a build event, please make sure you bring everything needed to run the event including extension cords if needed. Build event supervisors must use the national scoring spreadsheets. As invitationals have started across the country, these are being updated frequently. Please make sure you download or check to see if you have the latest revision just before the tournament. Please make sure your event supervisor follows the rules for the regional (not state or national) competitions.

Team Number and Color

Please make sure your students know their team number and color if your school has more than one team. Mix-ups here can cause delays or errors in scoring.

Scoring

Please make sure you bring everything you need to run your event, including helpers to score if needed. The faster the scores get in, the sooner we can get to awards! :) Scores will be submitted electronically using the online Tournament Score Center program accessed in the Media Center. We will have computers available in the media center for entering scores.

The height from the floor to the ceiling is 29 feet. It's a typical gym ceiling with some girders across.
