Coaches and Parents—
It is through your efforts
that we continue to offer a
successful program for the
kids!
PICK UP YOUR SCORES & STICKY NOTES
Your scores will be ready for you to pick up approximately 60
minutes after you compete. We will text you when your scores are
ready and you will have 30 minutes to pick up your scores from the
Head Judge or Problem Captain. The PC or HJ will review the team’s
score and sticky notes with you, then they will note
the time. Then you will have 30 minutes from that
time to file a Request for Resolution if you disagree
with an objective score or a penalty. Style and
subjective scores are the opinions of the judges and
are final. Please note if you do not pick up your
scores within 30 minutes after receiving the text
message, you will not be able to file a Request for Resolution if you
find an error in your scores at a later time. Plus the kids enjoy
reading the sticky notes!
Team Registration, Information, First Aid & Lost and Found will be located
inside the Main Entrance area along with Volunteer Check In.

Ranatra Fusca Creativity Award Represents the essence of Odyssey of the Mind and is
presented to teams or individuals who exhibit exceptional creativity, either through some aspect of their problem solution, or an extraordinary idea beyond the problem
solution. A successful problem solution is not a criterion for winning the award; rather, the award is a way to
acknowledge and encourage creative thinking and risk-taking.
Omer’s Award Named for the Odyssey of the Mind raccoon mascot, OMER, this award recognizes individuals or teams who demonstrate
outstanding sportsmanship, exemplary behavior, or exceptional talent. Recipients of this award may be coaches,
team members, parents, officials or anyone else that tournament officials or directors feel exhibit these traits.
This award is not intended to reward creativity.
