Hi

Regarding core value, how long is the spontaneous ? Will the kids be given a set time 2 or 3 mins, some time to discuss their strategy and ask questions before they work in the problem or is it all together ?

Thanks

Well, the team doesn't have to bring anything with them to Core Values judging, but they also don't have to bring nothing with them.
 
IMHO, it's just a big pocketwatch, so why should the judges care?
 
More seriously, obsessing over the time during CV judging is not helpful--the judges will be watching the time, because they will want to start in on the Q&A portion.  Being somewhat aware of time during CV judging is helpful, however, because the judges would like to see how the team works together to plan what they will do, to drive toward a decision, and then how they work together to execute the plan.
 
If you look at the Core Values rubric, then in the Teamwork area, you'll see the Efficiency skill, which includes awareness and skill in time management.  The judges may get some information in that area by observing the team during the CV task, and will ask questions about the season to understand more.

Although I am an experienced coach, I have never had a child ask me this question before... can an iPad be used for a timer in Core Values?  Can the team members use it to take notes as they hypothesize a solution?

Live and learn :)
