Odyssey of the Mind
New York Regions 4 & 7
February 15, 2023
Message from Your Regional Director
Planning for our regional tournament is underway, and we strive to make this a memorable experience for all participants. We have an urgent need for Primary Problem judges. This is a non-competitive division with our students in grades K-2. It would be approximately a half-day commitment. If your team has not provided a judge yet, please work on recruiting one.
We are also in need of volunteers for the day. Volunteers are needed for help with registration, sales, information booths and a variety of other tasks, to ensure that the tournament runs smoothly.
Please keep in mind that our tournaments run smoothly thanks in large part to the dedicated judges and volunteers. **Each team is responsible for providing 1 judge and 1 volunteer.**
Only 1 team has provided a volunteer, and only 9 teams have provided a judge. See below for registration links and please work on recruiting for these important positions.
