 TECH TIME: We need to set an upper limit for how much technology error (Zoom disconnections etc) happen. Therefore, each team will receive 8 minutes of preparation time and 10 minutes of tech time. During the 10 minutes of tech time, a team may try to resolve technological issues. NO PREP may occur during those 10 minutes. If a team is not able to resolve their technological issues during the 10 minutes of tech time, that team must forfeit. 

Entry fees are $25/policy team (to cover the cost of the classrooms.cloud service and trophies.) If the money is an issue, please let Alyssa know (acorrigan@glenbrook225.org) and we can figure something out. Additionally, if your school is a member of a UDL your fees will be waived automatically.
