What does your team do for Kickoff?

[maltz1881]

Well I am taking off from where my above me Rosie left off!! I usually ask the kids to keep a journal from Saturday-Monday night when we will meet again. From there EVERYBODY presents there ideas on how the game should be played. We have some creative people who will come in with cardboard models. I love it. We then discuss all the ideas and usually take a little bit of everybodys ideas, and design around that.

On the Saturday following the Kickoff we meet with approx. 15-20 other teams to discuss how they interpet the rules and how they see it being played. This can be a real eye opener. Everybody can interpet the rules their own way so this can really turn into quite the debate. This is just meant to be be nothing more than a help session to all the area teams. I always learn something new as well. Some teams will bring drawings or they simply discuss what they are building. Our area has a group called MMRA and all but 1 team are members. Our job is to aide each other as much as possible.

I am seeing a lot of pizza eating in my future!!
