There was only one appeal following the Greenville Regional Tournament. This appeal was from Northside High School that competed in Flying Bird, but received a No Show (NS) on the scoring program. It was found that Northeastern High School received Northside High School's credit for competing in this event. Northeaster was given an NS for this event and Northside was 7th place.
One other error on the scoring program discovered by the State Director was that AG Cox Middle School's Robot was DQ'd by the event leader. However, the robot should not have been DQ'd, but ranked after all other teams that competed and met all building criteria. This moved AG Cox from 5th Place to being tied for 4th place. However, since AG Cox had more Gold medals than Moyock, AG Cox and Moyock Middle school will need to swap trophies. I apologize for this inconvenience.
Updated scores can be found by clicking the links in the table below. All scores for the Greenville Regional Tournament are now Final.

Dear Coaches,
The Greenville Regional Tournament at East Carolina University is approaching quickly and will be held on January 26, 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. Each school participating this year has up to 2 teams competing at Greenville's Regional Tournament: one Varsity team and one Junior Varsity team. 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. 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
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. This must be brought and turned in at Registration along with your Official Roster Forms. Your team will be unable to compete without both of these forms (the roster and the vandalism and behavior policy) signed by both the coach and the principal. PLEASE GO OVER THE VANDALISM AND BEHAVIOR POLICY WITH YOUR STUDENTS, PARENTS, AND GUESTS!
Please e-mail your Regional Director, Nancy Evans, if you have any questions or concerns. We look forward to seeing you at the tournament.
Regards,
Jason
