This is an optional event in which teams get a great opportunity to practice several Spontaneous problems in a competitive setting. Awards are given – and best of all, coaches get their scores and feedback to take home and analyze!
In order to participate, all teams must register one trained Spontaneous judge and one Fun Day volunteer.
NOTE: Fun Day teams don’t have to be made up of your competition team. If not enough kids can come from your team, combine with another team to bring 5-7 team members to Fun Day!
