G e neral Tourna m ent
       I n fo r mati on & Rem inders

PARKING: Refer to the campus map when parking. Our volunteers will direct you where to
park. Please do NOT park in local businesses' spaces. We want to be invited back again
next year, and key to that is being good guests. ONLY judges may park in the bus loop, and
the front visitors lot is BY PERMIT ONLY. All other ON-CAMPUS parking is open to teams and
their guests.

CAMPUS LITTER/RECYCLING: Receptacles are throughout the campus. PLEASE USE
THEM. If you see litter, please pick it up or, better yet, gently encourage the person who
accidentally dropped it to pick it up! Again, we are ALL guests on the Edgewater campus.
We have been given a great opportunity to have the Magic Center Regional Tournament at
such a wonderful venue. We want to be invited back — help us be the best guests ever.

NON-SMOKING CAMPUS: Edgewater High School is a non-smoking campus. Enough
said.

FOOD AND SOUVENIR SALES: Cash and checks are
preferred, but credit cards are accepted for purchases
of $20 or more. An ATM is directly across the street
at Walgreens.

CONCESSIONS: Open from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.,
Concessions will serve affordably priced Continental
breakfast items, as well as grilled items, pizza, drinks and
snacks. ALL proceeds stay in the Magic Center Region.
What a great — and easy — way to support the region!
From 3:30 to 6 p.m., only snacks and drinks will continue
to be served.

SOUVENIRS: Open at 9 a.m., the Sales area in the
Cafeteria is where you'll find regional and state merchandise,
in addition to fun novelties, hats and other "wearables."
Proceeds benefit the Magic Center Region. Be sure to pick up your light-up items and noise-
makers for the Awards Ceremony. NOTE: To ensure that competing teams are not distracted,
noisemakers will be sold ONLY just before the Awards Ceremony in the pop-up Sales stand
outside of the Gym and by roaming vendors in the Gym.

50/50 RAFFLE TO BENEFIT THE MAGIC CENTER REGION'S SCHOLARSHIP
FUND: Raffle tickets will be sold throughout the day in the Sales area, at the Silly String table
outside of Spontaneous and by roving ticket sellers. The cost is $1 per ticket or an arm's
length for $10. Last year's winner took home nearly $500. The winner, whose name is drawn
during the Awards Ceremony, need not be present to win.

AWARDS CEREMONY: The ceremony will start at approximately 5:30 p.m. in the Gym.
You will definitely want to stick around for this one!

               The RANATRA FUSCA CREATIVITY AWARD
  represents the essence of Odyssey of the Mind. It is presented to teams
or individuals who exhibit exceptional creativity, either through some aspect
   of their problem solution or an extraordinary idea beyond the problem
    solution. A successful problem solution is not a criterion for winning
            the award; rather, the award is a way to acknowledge
               and encourage creative thinking and risk-taking.

                              OMER’S AWARD
      is named for the Odyssey of the Mind raccoon mascot, OMER,
    in recognition of individuals or teams who demonstrate outstanding
          sportsmanship, exemplary behavior, or exceptional talent.
    Recipients of this award may be coaches, team members, parents,
 officials or anyone else that tournament officials or directors feel exhibit
these traits. This award is not intended to reward creativity. Anyone may
   inform a tournament official of a possible OMER’s Award candidate.
    That official will then determine if that person should be nominated.
All nominees are reviewed by a panel that determines the final recipients.
