TM Corner

Team Manager's Corner

Posted Mon, 2009-08-24 21:53 by webmaster

Welcome to California Creativity's Team Manager's Corner. We're here to trade tips, stories, fears, failures and successes about being a DI team manager (TM). Being a TM can be overwhelming and a little isolating. This is the place to cure both these ills so jump on in and participate. Since this is a public web site, comment submissions will be moderated.

Two Weeks After Your Regional Tournament: Global Finals?!?

Posted Mon, 2010-03-15 00:00 by aorcutt

Remember about a month back when I suggested that you talk to your team parents about the possibility of going to the State Tournament? Good - because you are going to have the same talk again but this one is on steroids. For those going to the State Tournament, you are faced with the very real possibility of being invited to Globals. Don't think it won't happen to you. My team stabbed me in the back, aced their IC and got invited despite having a weak technical element for their team challenge (their performance and Side Trips were quite good though).

One Week After Your Regional Tournament: State Finals?

Posted Mon, 2010-03-08 01:00 by aorcutt

Whether your team is advancing to State Finals or not, I encourage everyone to stop on by (if feasable) and watch some solutions to the challenge you did and the challenges you didn't. The Secondary teams are always worth watching. Seeing older, more sophisticated teams perform can give teams plenty of ideas for next year.

Can you please give an example or two for the difficulty level of the ICs at the State tournament. Especially as applicable to the Elementary School teams.

I hope everyone had a great time at their regional tournament. Your scores should be posted under «Region», above.

If your team is advancing to State Finals, remember you have to register the week after the regional tournament. You need an experienced appraiser and a volunteer.
