Coaches' Rules Manuals have arrived. Registration for Division C (High School) is available now. Email Carol for the registration form. The location and date of the Division C tournament will be provided as it becomes available.

There is a meeting of interested Middle School coaches on October 1st in Portland. We will be brainstorming about possible ways to run a small-sized tournament for a few interested schools. Email Carol for details.

Important Information about 2011 Tournaments

See letter below:

Dear Middle School Coaches,

Maine will NOT be holding a Division B tournament this year. Although I am sure the students had a wonderful experience the past three years, organizing, preparing for, and running the tournament is more than this State Director can manage. The High School Division C tournament will be held, so perhaps your area high schools would be interested in participating if they don't already.

At Waynflete, the MS students are going to have a science/engineering activity and mini-competitions using the types of building events that the Science Olympiad typically includes. That could be a good substitute for your students too.

I am hoping that this will be my last year as State Director (it has been very difficult to find people interested in taking on the responsibility or even finding volunteers to help), but when I do find a replacement, I will contact all of you with that information.

Thank you very much for your support and participation in years' past.

Sincerely,

Carol
