Dear ARML Team,
A couple events happening this weekend for the team:
Second Tryout
Our second tryout will take place tomorrow (Saturday), 11am-12pm. The tryout will be held on ContestDojo, just like the previous tryout. We will open the tryout at 11am. Please note that you must start the tryout by 11:10am in order to have the full time allotted for the tryout. For more information about the tryout, see our tryout page.
First Bay Area Practice
Our first Bay Area practice will take place in San Jose on Sunday, noon to 5pm, at Bliss and Wisdom Foundation. The details are on our Practices page. At this first practice, we will introduce the coaches, announce this year’s elite teams, introduce each of the ARML rounds, and practice in teams. We encourage everyone to carpool to practice with others from your city or area.
ARML is a team event, and it’s important that everyone come to practice if possible in order to work in teams. If you have a schedule conflict with part of practice, it’s ok to attend whatever portion that you’re available. If you’re unable to attend, please fill out our practice absence form and provide a (good) reason. Practice attendance is a factor in both elite team placement and selection of alternates; see the Policies for more information.
If you are not joining the team on the trip to Reno this year, you’re still welcome to come to practice - just make sure to check in with a coach when you arrive so we can tell you which team to practice with. If you’re in the Sacramento/Davis area, you’re not required or expected to come to Bay Area practices; instead, please attend the practice at UC Davis.
Looking forward to seeing many of you this weekend!
–Moor and the rest of the SFBA/NorCal coaching staff
