NOTES:  Very Important!!! Please read the following to your students.

· NO FOOD OR DRINKS IN THE GYM OR AUDITORIUM!!!!      

· MUST WEAR SHIRTS AND NO BODY PAINT!              

· No large flags in gym.  They are too large and we will have too many people.  The flags will obstruct the view.  (These are the flags often seen at football games).

· Bring spirit poles so the judges can find you easily. Team number on the top!

· Must use the actual crystal that came in your returnable kit, otherwise we may have interference.

· Only Jubilee BEST volunteers, judges, and VIPs are allowed in the Hospitality Room.  Definitely no students.

· No frisbees, beach balls, airplanes or items that may end up on the playing field will be allowed in the gymnasium.  This is to ensure no interference with the playing field.

· YOU MUST HAVE A PIT PASS TO BE IN THE PIT.  YOU WILL BE GIVEN 5 PIT PASSES IN YOUR REGISTRATIION PACKET.  PLAN WITH YOUR TEAM HOW YOU WILL USE THESE ON GAME DAY….NO EXEPTIONS.

No Walkie – talkies, they will interfere with the radio controls for the robots.

     Upon arriving to Davidson’s campus follow signs to the presentations – they will take place in classrooms in the gymnasium.  Your team MUST be there 15 minutes prior to your scheduled time

     IMPORTANT:  All rooms have white boards to project on to.  There will be a table in the front of the room for your computer and projector.  Please bring a power strip and extension cord.  There are plugs directly underneath the white board.  We will try to have the room set-up to be conducive for a presentation.  If you need any other items, please let us know. (We will have additional power strips in each room for your use).

      AGAIN…PLEASE SHOW UP ON TIME.  IF YOU MISS YOUR TIME SLOT, WE HAVE NO MAKE-UP TIMES ALLOTED.  SORRY!

Driving Practice:  Each team is allotted a 30 minute driving practice on Friday.  Your assigned time is the same as your Sales & Marketing time-slot. If you have a driver in the presentation, he/she will be allowed to drive once back from the presentation.  Our Field Commander (Matthew) and his team will accommodate for this.  Teams not competing in the BEST Award…send your drivers anytime during 1:00 – 4:00.
