Dear all,
We participated in Falls Church tournament today. As a rookie team, we did not know that we should look at the screen in the gym for scores on our three robot matches. We were sitting at a corner. When the closing ceremony started, there was nothing on the screen.
We waited to the end of the closing ceremony with no information on our scores. When we approached the organizer, we were told that all score sheets on paper have been thrown out.
As a new team, we really would like to know what our scores for robot matches are. We already reached out to today's organizer but have not heard from him. Are there other places where the scores maybe online and accessible to us?
Thanks!
Chao

Yes, I do
much as Amy described.
I go
to the door, welcome the team and invite them to enter, and
when everyone is through the door, I close it and say
"I am starting the clock now."

Hi Cedric and
All,I apologize to all for discouraging
introductions, introductions are polite and professional. 10
minutes per judging session minimum, time starts when the
door is opened.
I recall once when
judging, there was a large and fun team that came into the
judging room and performed an elaborate introduction/ cheer
with choreographed movements. It was fun and enthusiastic
and cool and well-done, but it did take quite a bit of time.
I'm unsure how the cheer enhanced the judging session.
So, just a caution.
When I'm
judging, I usually volunteer to open the door, I wear a
silly hat, I often greet the team by asking them to
"Come on In" (a la Price-Is-Right emcee) and I
jokingly demand high-fives. So, as a judge, I'm trying
to break the ice. I figure happy kids having
fun will give judges better information (and have a better
experience) than anxious kids desperately trying to perform
exactly the way they planned to. I hope I don't cause
teams to freak out too
much;)
My experience as a
coach is that most judges greet teams with smiles and an
encouraging demeanor, and often they are really friendly and
jovial, with silly hats or high-fives, or an intro
phrase.
I try to
encourage my team to have fun at the tournament and to help
other teams have fun also. Every team earns and wins
memories of the tournament, I want those memories to all be
good, and this is something I can do, no matter whether I am
coaching or judging or parenting.

Thank you for
your replies. I got mixed replies on the
introductions.It sounds like it is counted against time
and a name tag may be sufficient.However, it
would help if it breaks the ice.
Steve,
Do you count the introduction time
for both Core values and Project?
I guess it matters more during
Project as they have only 5 minutes to present
as soon as they walk through the
door.
Thanks,
Cedric

When I am
judging, I count the time that teams introduce themselves as
part of the 10 minute session. There isn't enough
spare time not to include it.
Although competition rounds with the
robot are open to the public, there will likely be a limit
on how many people can get close to the
tables.

We viewed the fllstartingpoint video which was
very helpful.My apologies for the long list of question
and if we missed any from the video.
We're a rookie team and needed
clarification on the questions below-Core
values1. Are the kids allowed to take the
poster into the room?2. Is this a closed
session?3. How long is this session?4.
Is this 5 minutes for the Core value activity and 5 minutes
for judging?5. Should the kids introduce
themselves? Will this be counted in the time
allocated?6. Are only 3 adults allowed in the
room with the kids?
Project1. Is this
5 minutes for the presentation and 5 minutes for
judging?2. Should the kids introduce themselves?
Will this be counted in the time allocated?3. Are
only 3 adults allowed in the room with the
kids?4. I assume this is a closed session and a
poster/trifold is allowed in this room.
Robot design1. Is
this a closed session?2. Should the kids mention
their roles as we have some "experts" in
programming who can answer questions.3. Should
they walkthrough their binder?4. How long is the
judging of Robot design?5. How many adults are
allowed in the room with the kids?
Missions1. Is this
a closed session?2. How long do we get at the
practice table?3. How many adults are allowed in
the room with the kids?
Thank
you!Cedric
