 The following changes were made to the initial scoring that was posted for the Greensboro Regional Tournament.

B Division:

In Crave the Wave (B), the results for Smith Middle School Varsity and The Academy at Lincoln Varsity were inadvertently switched.  The Academy at Lincoln placed 3^rd overall (2^nd out of only Varsity) and Smith Middle School was a no show.

C Division:

The results for Rocks and Minerals (C) and Remote Sensing (C) were read incorrectly when medals were handed out. The winners should have been read as follows:

Remote Sensing

JV

1^st:  Morehead JV1

2^nd: Morehead JV2

Varsity

1^st:  East Chapel Hill HS

2^nd:  Morehead HS

3^rd:  Chapel Hill HS

Great job to everyone who participated at the Greensboro Regional Tournament!!! Scores for the Greensbor Regional Tournament are posted below. Please e-mail Kelly Fair if you have questions about the scores or if you would like to make an appeal regarding any events. Scores will not be final until Wednesday at 5:00 pm at which time final scores will be posted with any explanations to changes to scores and rankings based on questions and appeals posted.

Dear Coaches,

The Greensboro Regional Tournament at UNC Greensboro is approaching quickly and will be held on February 23, 2008. Registration will be handled exactly how it was handled last year (for returning coaches).

On the morning of the tournament, each coach must turn in an official team roster (could take a few minutes to download) for each team. Schools participating this year have up to 4 teams competing at Greensboro's Regional Tournament: one Varsity team and three Junior Varsity teams. The official team roster that is attached is an editable PDF and must be filled out for each team a school has participating. This means if a school has two teams then the school’s coach must fill out one official team roster for his/her Varsity team and another official team roster for his/her Junior Varsity team (and so on). Directions for this editable PDF are on the form. Do NOT print out this form and fill it in by hand. Edit it from your computer then print it. If you have a change to the roster on the Saturday of your tournament then you can cross out a name and manually insert it. Otherwise, all forms should be turned in just as requested on the directions to this form. If you have troubles with the Adobe Acrobat form, please download the most current version of Adobe Acrobat here: http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html and then try opening and editing the document again.

In the coaches packets that you receive after you register onsite at your Regional Tournament will be wristbands that all participants must wear if they want to compete. The wristbands will be color-coded as well as labeled by type of team. The wristbands will be colored and labeled as follows:

Red – NCSO Varsity
Yellow- NCSO Junior Varsity 1
Green - NCSO Junior Varsity 2
Purple - NCSO Junior Varsity 3

The colors will help Event Leaders identify which teams are Varsity or Junior Varsity and the text on the wristband will help students know which team they are on since many times students do not know if they are Varsity or Junior Varsity. It is very important for your students to know what team they are on if your school has more than one team. We hope that the wristbands will help this issue.

Every Regional Event will have cover sheets that students must fill out and turn in with their completed event. Please go over the cover sheet with your students and stress the importance of writing LEGIBLY and knowing which team they are on. This will help us out a lot. These cover sheets will be provided by the event leaders. DO NOT COPY COVER SHEETS AND HAVE STUDENTS BRING THESE TO THE EVENT WITH THEM.

Also attached to the e-mail is our Vandalism and Behavior Policy and Photo/Video release form. These must be brought and turned in at Registration along with your Official Roster Forms. Your team will be unable to compete without the Vandalism and Behavior Policy and the Official Roster forms signed. Please make us aware of any students not able to photographed. PLEASE GO OVER THE VANDALISM AND BEHAVIOR POLICY WITH YOUR STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND GUESTS!

Please e-mail your Regional Directors (above) if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you at the tournament.

Regards,

Jason
