Kevin,
I am in the same boat you are, I coach 2
FLL teams going to state and an FTC team, all of which are competing on the
same weekend. I know there are huge logistical problems with scheduling these
two events and getting the facilities, but it would be nice if they were on
different weekends. I love working with both groups and was suddenly
blindsided by not paying attention to the schedules until the FLL teams got
selected for the state tournament. Suddenly my calendar runneth over. Kudos
for all that the folks on the state FLL and FTC level do and I think with luck
we can try to avoid another simultaneous tournament weekend for next year.

Subject: [VADCFLL-L] Va FLL &
FTC tournaments on same weekend
Alex, thanks for mentioning this...
I am in that position, of coaching a FLL
team & mentoring an FTC team, and fortunately, my FTC team is
planning to compete at an out of state tournament, otherwise, I'd have to
choose to attend either the Va FLL *or* FTC tournament this
year, which would be painful.
I'd like to volunteer at the FTC tournament, but I'll
be at the FLL tournament that weekend, so I'll miss the FTC tournament.
How can we avoid having both
Thanks,
Kevin

I guess it is very
hard to manage and keep in mind all the possible dates and events that happen
at the same time. Another same day event is the FTC at

Hello,
I am wanting to get some feedback as well
as provide some feedback to those teams/parents in the
Phil Smith had announced at the
I did speak with him after the
competition and shared that I would also try to contact the TJ admissions
Office.
I have contacted Ms. Judith Howard, who
heads the TJ Admissions office, to ask about what options are available for
those students that are experiencing this date conflict. I know that it
is possible to request an alternate test date, but I'm sure that that will be
difficult to get approved.
I am wondering, out of curiosity, how many teams and also how many team members from
each team are affected by this conflict?
Also, is
your team a school-sponsored team?
This type of feedback will be helpful for
both VA/DC FLL as well as the TJ Admissions Office to help facilitate
accommodations.
Our team is small, with 3 members, but 2
out of the 3 are sitting for the Exam.
We are not a school-sponsored team, per
se.
Please would you post a
response, giving the above info, if you are dealing with this same
issue?
I will also let you know as I hear back
from Ms. Howard.
Thanks very much!
