Please note that the Kick-Off meeting scheduled for October 22nd has been canceled and replaced by an online presentation which will be available, along with the official rules on that day.

The kick-off meeting is scheduled for this Saturday, October 22nd. Some teachers/schools are not able to make it, so we are conducting a survey to see if an online meeting would be better. This would likely be in the afternoon early next week to make it easier for teams to attend together after school. Please complete the survey below (one per school — not per team, please).
