2011 Food Factor Competition
Note: See Q&A below...
Updated Team List  (check back later)  
Scoring: At our competition we select the average of the top 3 scores of each team as their final score. Since we run 5 competition rounds this allows teams to have 2 bad runs and still be able to win. Yeah you! (your team)
2011Competition Schedule  - This PDF contains the schedule. Your team will be listed with your room and Yes or No that you are giving a presentation. Please check for conflicts.

Example: Team 355, Robo-Briz is in room 202 and they are giving a presentation. When you are giving the presentation or being judged in the first round the other team in the room should be scheduled to be free or practicing. We do not schedule the judges in the room at the same time.

When creating the schedule we try to serve many masters. It may seem a little random but we try to make it so that teams coming from far away can be a little late and not miss any judging, or we need to group teams that are giving presentations and those that are not. We also try to make it so judges don't have to sprint very far. 

IMPORTANT: Please look for conflicts. You and the other team in your room should never be scheduled for a presentation at the same time. Report any conflicts to Frank Larkin.
