Coaches, Teams and Judges:

Due to a programming error on my part, the Spontaneous Fun Day Online Registration has not worked properly to this date. I must ask you to repeat your Fun Day team registration (online of by mail) since none of the registration data has come through. My apologies for this glitch.

Hello Odyssey of the Mind !!!!!

We are now taking team registrations.
1. Go to http://www.odysseyofthemind.org
2. Select "Member Area",
3. Select "Team Registration"
Along with completion of the required information online, you will need to do the following:
1. Send a check for the required regional membership fee and team fees along with a note describing the fees included in the total amount of the check to our Treasurer.
2. Download, print, and sign the "Coach’s Contract" then mail to the Regional Director.
3. Have your required Judges and Volunteers go to www.paodyssey.com,
4. then select "Judge Registration" to register as a Long Term or Spontaneous Judge or as a Volunteer.

All Judging roles require an all day commitment. A Volunteer will only be needed for an hour or two. There is a penalty of up to 25 points assessed against the team if there are not trained Judges to represent the team at the Regional Tournament.

Remember to ask teachers to be a Judge as they can earn 10 - ACT 48 hours free of charge (we even throw in a free pizza lunch at training ) if they attend Judge Training Day AND fulfill their assigned role at the Regional Tournament.

All dates, times, places, directions for all of our events can be found in the "Events/Dates" Tab of this website. And needed addresses, as well as email addresses are found in the "Contacts" page for all Problem Captains and W PA Regional Board members.

While all of us on your Regional Board of Directors REALLY love working with the Odyssey of the Mind program, we all recognize that the only constant is change. Please let us know if you have an interest in becoming more active with the management end of this outstanding program.

December Hint: . . . Work with the team so that they USE ALL 8 MINUTES OF THE Long Term presentation time.

Remember that in Odyssey there is no such thing as a stupid question. PLEASE call me with ANY questions or concerns.
