NOV 5 UPDATE::

Hello all:

1, Sorry to keep asking- I am trying to prevent lines at check in on the 16th. If you have not sent me your new list of volunteers with names and emails, please do so. We can get your volunteers pre-background checked. Your volunteers are not required to be checked if they don't plan to be in event rooms.

2. Rooms are assigned. Those of you in homerooms on C100 level, that is DOWNSTAIRS from the entry. Please email me if there are any issues for you with that as the elevator in the lobby doesn't go there. I am attaching the maps and list for your reference. They are also in Scilympiad.

3. Helicopter- I am waiting for access to the room so we can measure it. Sorry.

4. Food. The ap link for orders will be published soon. We also have a list of restuarants that will bring food to you. That is coming hopefully in a day or two.

5. More updates later this week. Thanks!

Thank you! Nath Erich Elaine

Nov 1 Update:

1. I'm really sorry to do this but my original request for your volunteer emails was apparently lacking info the school also needs. SO to make it easy, you can just reply here. If you could send me the email addresses AND NAMES of the volunteers you plan to have working with students I'd appreciate it. Ideally a spread sheet with one column being the name and the adjacent column being the email would be ideal, but honestly if it's easier then whatever format you want is fine and I'll collate it. Volunteers working with their own school are exempt.

Once she has the list from me, your volunteers should get an email request to do the background check.

Again sorry about the confusion.

2. Attached is a set of maps. It's preliminary so likely to change. Remember we are at Saline HS this year not Athens. Our address is 1300 Campus PKWy Saline, MI 48176

2A. No idea what the food plan is yet. You can order food to be delivered to door 5. You have to get it there.

3. Please note the parking. We'll do drop off at door 5 (auditorium) then your buses go to the other side of the building. Pick up will be at door six due to a show in the auditorium. The good news is we have a gym for awards the bad news is I need to buy a tv to connect to the computer. I was going to get a nice 30" one. So bring binoculors to read if from the stands. We will be able to use the announcment system during the day. 

5. Self Schedule is open. I am pleased with how many are signed up. 

ES info- All your requests have been captured and should be set.

More in a week or so. Thanks again! OCT 16 UPDATE:

https://forms.gle/hCZuyhEzE3gQr3xN7

Sorry for the extra email. Hopefully this will be the last mass mailing for the next few weeks. Minimal humor in this note today, to many mean people encountered today. :-)

We had a great meeting with the school and we are excited to host you.

We are still looking for a Wind Power ES. Please email asap if you can help.

I tried to divide this note into three sections- ES info, coach info and info for all

As we get closer to the tournament there is a lot to cover but I'll do my best to minimize the notes. Info will be put on the main page of scilympiad.

Do contact me for team questions and Elaine for ES questions. She will be looking to the ES's to submit items and will communicate with you directly. Her email is in the "to" 

 There is an item in here that ES's need to do ASAP so hence I added you all to this note. 

ES folks:

Thank you for filling out the resource survey. I met with SAS Monday and we can support all the requests. (Bungee-Robin, let me know your input if any). 

All- Volunteer background checks

Please do the volunteer survey too, so I can get your volunteers an email to do their background check ahead of time. Coaches and volunteers who will only be with their own team are exempt. If you will be in a room with students not from your school then you are required to do it.

THere will be a station to do it on the day of. Expect a line. If done ahead of time, you can get your sticker upon arrival and are good to go.

Just put the email addresses of who you want it sent to in the survey. No names required as they'll get a link to fill out.

All- Venue update:

THere is a play in the auditorium so we are moving awards.

PLEASE do the survey question about how many will attend awards. Enter zero if you are leaving and not attending. If we are below a certain number we can hold it in the commons (and have a projector). If not, then we'll be in the gym with no projector. Both locations have sound. 

Events in the Gym will be done with the bleachers open due to construction it will allow for access to the exits better. I'll walk the gym and fit all three in there using the specs you responded with. (EV, RT, AT). There is a partition.

We are using all three floors of the building. There are some restricted areas and will be blocked with caution tape. No entry please as we had some explorers last time and it caused a lot of issues with security.

Coaches- Drop off/ Pick up info:

Change this year- Drop off in the loop at the Auditorium entry. We will have carts for you to move your stuff. Check in at Auditorium entry. That part is the same. The change is: Send bus to park on the other side of building at Athletics/Pool. You will need to board your bus there this year as we can't have sci oly departing through the drama show that is starting. Maps will be on scilympiad eventually.

Coaches- Food Update:

We are working on having an ap in place where you can pre-order food from concessions and then go get it. We'll also have a list of places near by. You may have them deliver. You must get it at the door. (Use Auditorium door entry, the big number is over the door but I can't remember what it is and am in Dearborn so I can't go look).

Breakfast and Lunch will be planned available.

Coaches:

All teams are in Scilympiad and have their numbers assigned. Your schedules should be visible so you can develop your rosters and self schedule plans. 

https://scilympiad.com/mi-saline

Fees are not reflected in Scilympiad. We'll put that list on the site later.

Self Schedule opens 10/22 at 7PM.

On behalf of Elaine and Erich, Nath

OCT 1 Update:

We are at 55 teams which is 7 more than planned (48) and one more than our updated plan (54).  Please be patient as this is a large group and we need to work out venue logisitics.  As of now, every school will get a home room.  I STRONGLY advise bringing some chairs for your volunteers as some of the larger teams will be pretty tight fits in your homerooms.  We did this because the competition venues get first priority on the rooms.  We should be able to contain this to the second and third floor.  If so then the first floor will be off limits. 

One team is on the Waitlist-  IA-EAST B.

schedule and team list will send to the coaches by Oct 3.

Critical dates:

10/15---Scilympiad Registration is due by 10/15. If you don't register you won't be in any events. But you can still come and watch.

10/22 Self Schedule opens 7PM

10/25 Tests Due. Yes, we need them then so we can get ready. Don't be the person who sends it to me at 4AM on Saturday and then needs it printed. I'll be sad and will use my dot matrix printer for your images.

 Sept 19 Update:

Hello Everyone- THis is the last update to the "full group" After today, Elaine will email and communicate with all the ES'es and event volunteers via a separate note string. She'll send out deadline reminders and help with set up. I'll send notes to teams a lot less.

Registration:

The tournament is full at 54 teams vs the 48 planned. We plan 9 teams per block and to use all 6 blocks. So please plan accordingly to accomodate grading and scoring.

PLEASE register in Scilympiad. I can adjust your team count later if you change it- so go "big" and then we'll confirm by mid Oct.

HOTEL

The hotel info is: https://www.hilton.com/en/book/reservation/rooms/?ctyhocn=DTWSLHX&arrivalDate=2024-11-15&departureDate=2024-11-16&groupCode=CHHSHO&room1NumAdults=1&cid=OM%2CWW%2CHILTONLINK%2CEN%2CDirectLink

You don't need to book this, but it's five min from the HS and easier than Ann Arbor. The food adjacent is a bit sparse. We do have seven Mexican restuarants to choose from. Ann Arbor has lots of fun places. Feel free to ask for suggestions.

Critical dates:

10/15---Scilympiad Registration is due by 10/15. If you don't register you won't be in any events. But you can still come and watch.

11/16: Tournament. Schedule will follow. We will follow National Event Conflict Blocks. 

Venue:

There is construction at Saline HS this year. They are adding on to the building and that work is adjacent to the Gym. We are affected in two ways

1. Spectators will be limited in the Main Gym due to fire exit concerns.

2. Awards set up is a work in progress.

The facility person is out on leave so we'll finalize the rooms when she returns. That said, every school should expect their own homeroom. Please note allergen rules per rooms.
