We have posted the synopses for the problems for the Odyssey of the Mind 2012-2013 season here. Note that it will be quite a while before the final problem statements are released, but this will give you an idea of what to expect this Fall.

Congratulations to all of the teams that competed in the Virginia Odyssey of the Mind State Tournament this past weekend! We had 18 teams representing our region at the tournament, and 9 of those teams received awards for placing first, second, or third. From our region, 6 teams will be advancing to World Finals at Iowa State University (all teams that come in first or second move on).

We have posted the overall results for all Region 9 teams on our web site, but you can also view the complete scores online at the Virginia state web site.

The 2012 NoVA North Regional Tournament Results have been posted on our web site. Enjoy!

Here is a map (in PDF format) showing the layout of Langley HS and where the problem sites, etc., will be located on tournament day.

There is a link to this map on the 2012 Regional Tournament page as well.

All Coaches must review the Region 9 House Rules, listed here, and ensure that their team’s solutions comply with these rules as well as the rules in the Program Guide. The link to the House Rules may also be found under the “Coaches Corner” section of the web site.
