Tournament Updates
We have 88 teams registered for the Silicon Valley Odyssey of the Mind Regional Tournament on Saturday, March 5, 2011. That is 8 more teams than last year, so we continue to grow. We have completed training all the judges for the tournament and they are ready and excited to see all your teams’ creative problem solutions! We really appreciate all the parents, friends and co-workers who have stepped up to volunteer their time to make this all volunteer program such a great experience for all the kids involved.
The tournament schedule is completed and will be posted on the svomer.org website in the next couple of days. However the following teams have not registered their tournament day volunteers yet so they will not appear on the schedule until their volunteers are registered. We are still waiting for these volunteers to register to complete the volunteer schedule for the tournament. If your team is listed below and you think you have a volunteer registered please contact Barbara K. at dire...@svomer.org as soon as possible. To Register a Volunteer Click here!

Team Scheduling Requests & Conflicts
Several teams have made scheduling requests. All requests have been taken into consideration to the best of our abilities. Not all requests can be honored due to logistical problems. So if you have made a request that involves only 1 or 2 team members or an assistant coach please consider alternate back-up plans. We would like to remind you that we emphasized in coach training that teams should plan to spend the whole day at the tournament. I know this causes a lot of stress for teams and it causes us a lot of stress too! So please be patient. No further schedule change requests can be made at this time.
Team Rosters
We sell tournament t-shirts and sweatshirts as well as other souvenirs at the Regional Tournament. The tournament t-shirts can be printed with the team members’ names on them. Any changes to spellings of team member names or additions of team members that occur after this Friday will not be reflected on the tournament t-shirts. The t-shirt design with the team rosters goes in to our vendor this weekend.
Tournament Day Procedures
We will be sending out a long newsletter next week with tournament day procedures and recommendations. It will include the time for the awards ceremony, a campus map, parking information and much more logistical info.
