After the Kickoff, most students are already over stimulated. We usually just go thru the KOP and see the goodies.
We will also review the game that was just broadcasted. Usually someone will miss something, so there is a lot of filling in the gaps to make sure everyone is on the same level.

Next, printing of the documentations. Everyone gets a copy and their reading assignments.

Sunday is spent reading the game and rules, which this generates a lot of one-on-one discussions and IMs. Some small groups may get together.
Monday after school is the Lock-In session. It can last 2-4 hours of discussions and debate.
One rule that is applied during the Lock-In session is: everyone’s opinion counts and everyone is allowed to present his or her idea without being challenged.
