Dear OMers, Hello !! Hello !! Hello !! All of our registrations for national membership and the Southwest Regional Tournament will be done online this year. Spontaneous Fun Day registration will make use of a paper form which is available on the Forms page. The first step must be getting registered with "National ". Go to www.odysseyofthemind.com and click the "Register Today " link. Follow the form. Whether paying by credit card, purchase order, or check you will be given direction and information as you complete the form or download and print the forms. When your registration is "complete " you will get your Membership Number, new or existing. Once you have your Membership # you can use the "Member Area " link on the national site to get to the page where you then click on the link "Team Registration ". Here you will need the Membership #. From there follow the instructions to complete the Team Registration. Items bordered in red MUST be completed. Be very careful with your Team Member info as it cannot be changed after the forms have been submitted. (If you find you have made a mistake in this area you will need to send an email to me that detail the necessary corrections). Once have clicked "Submit " within a very short time you will receive an automatic response email that will include a Username and a Password that will be required for any future access to the Team Information Area of this site. Please record it with all other team info that you "can't " lose. Part of the process is your Long Term and Spontaneous Judge info and Volunteer info. You will need one Long Term Judge for each team and one Spontaneous Judge for each membership. You will need one Spontaneous Judge for Fun day. Neither the Long Term Judge, Spontaneous Judge, or the Volunteer role may be filled by the same person. The Spontaneous Judge may judge at both Fun Day and the Regional Competition. Dates and times for Judge Training, Fun Day, and the Regional Competition are detailed on the Events and Dates page of the website for Southwest PA. The people you have chosen to fill these vital roles need to go to www.paodyssey.org and click on "Regional - Judges " under "Registration" in the left hand topic bar. In the window that follows, click "southwest ". (To go directly to the southwest judge registration page click here) Complete all of the required fields, making sure to use the information that appears on the "Team Membership Card " that comes with team registration packet from the National headquarters as to team name, division, and Membership #. Coaches are responsible for ensuring that their team has the required judges for the events in which they will participate. Fees: National - $135.00 per membership Regional - $50.00 per membership Fun Day - $10.00 per team - see info on Registration Form State - $50.00 per team - due only if your team moves on from the regional level to the state tournament. Info will be provided at the Winners Meeting after the Regional Competition If you have questions on any subject PLEASE contact me via email - bnimick@aol.com or by phone at any time - 412-527-7324 or at home - 412-795-0759 . Thank you VERY MUCH for all of the work you do on behalf of the students who gain so much from Odyssey of the Mind !! Best Regards, |
