BC17: Registration Opens 18-Apr @ 1200

[ColleenShaver]

Teams-

Registration is opening soon for BattleCry@WPI 17!

Here's the details:
- BattleCry@WPI 17 with take place over TWO full days on Sat-Sun, 21-22 May 2016 in Worcester, MA.
- 60 teams
- $400 registration gets you t-shirts, team social, BBQ dinner, Ice Cream Social, and Lunches (one day). And most importantly, the chance to try one more time to reign supreme in New England (and beyond).

Tell your friends, tell your rivals, tell your neighboring rookie teams... we welcome and encourage everyone who is interested to sign up! While 2013 broke records with 1 second to fill registration, last year took a few minutes but by the week of the event, we ended up extending invites to our entire Ready Reserve list!

Those who do not make the initial team list will be placed on the Ready Reserves. EVERY YEAR we end up calling almost every team on the Ready Reserves looking for folks to play, especially for last minute drop-outs, so don't hesitate to register even if the slots are full and expect that you will be called up.

When it opens, to register, go to www.wpi.edu/+bc and click "Enter the Fray".

If you are interested in volunteering, we'd love to have your help as well! We'll be posting a volunteer signup link soon.

See you at BC17!

Volunteer form!

As always, the aspects of the competition that require the most effort are setup and teardown. We'll be setting up all day Friday, the 20th. Teardown is immediately following the awards (but also some during the awards). Day start times to be updated as information becomes available.

I really want to get some new people into key roles, to help spread the load for the people that have been running around to multiple district events every year. Try something you're curious about. Please also give me extra information about any roles you'd like to invent for yourself. You can edit your response as your schedule changes.

Sorry for the problems today everyone. Unfortunately our CMS didn't publish the page correctly, and it took me a few to get logged in and get it republished. Thanks to everyone for being willing to hit 'refresh' for a bit.

It is now full, took about 7 minutes from when the page went live. Handful of teams are now on the Ready Reserves.

We will do our best to get our Competitor/Ready Reserve list live today, but the folks who control that are volunteers at the Boston Marathon each year so they are a little busy. If we don't get it up today/tonight, it'll be posted tomorrow.

FYI... Dorms will be available this year at the cost of $120/triple. Discounts will be considered for teams with good utilization ratios (i.e. use all triples and need two singles for mentors, we will charge you only $40/pp for the singles).

Later this week we will open up ordering for Dorms, T-shirts (10 free), Saturday BBQ (10 free), Ice Cream Social (10 free), and Sunday Lunches (10 free).

Thanks everyone!
