Three plus a practice run. Highest score. Practice run is just that -- does not count, even if it's your highest score. Ask me how our team learned this :) The presentation et al. are interspersed, in no predictable order; this is necessary to fit everything in without taking longer than necessary. If your tournament uses my scheduler, you'll always have at least 12 minutes between events. You'll get a schedule at (or hopefully before) the tournament, so you'll know. I always tell coaches at tournaments that they have only three things to do that day: 1) Get the team to seven events on time 2) Don't lose any kids (violates some obscure FLL rule, I think) 3) Have fun! -- Phil Smith III Coach, The Capital Girls (retired) Team 1900 (2002) Team 2497 (2003) Team 2355 (2004) Team 1945 (2005) -----Original Message----- From: First Lego League in Virginia and DC [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Nanda Kottury Sent: Monday, September 19, 2016 11:23 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [VADCFLL-L] General Question - # of Match Plays Hello, We are a rookie team.
