TJ High School for Science and Technology

6560 Braddock Road, Alexandria, VA 22312

Hello everyone,

First and foremost, I’d like to thank you all for your patience and understanding this season as we’ve changed not only dates for the tournament but locations as well. It has been quite a roller coaster! Unfortunately, hosting the tournament on a Sunday was unavoidable this year, but we look forward to going to back to our regularly scheduled Saturday tournament next year.

On to the logistics for Sunday…this is long but please read all the way through.

Map & Schedule

Since we are at a new school, we have uploaded a new map to our website. You can find it here; it will tell you exactly where to enter for team check-in and which doors to use for your prop delivery.

The schedule for the tournament, with the new rooms attached, can be found here.

Parking

TJ HSST has a fair amount of parking, but as always, we (strongly) encourage you to carpool as much as you can. We are allowed to use the parking lots at Holmes Middle School for overflow parking, if needed.

Concessions

We are delighted to announce that the Booster Club at TJ HSST will be providing our concessions service this year. They will have tables set up in the cafeteria, as well as near the Team Check-In area, and in the Auditorium lobby. In addition to food concessions, they will be offering some TJ HSST spirit-wear for all future prospective TJ HSST students!

The TJHSST Boosters will be providing snacks and pizza at the tournament.  They are taking pre-orders for pizza. Please see the link below for more information:

Closing Ceremony

This year, our closing ceremony will take place at 6 pm in the Auditorium at the school. We did try to move it up as far as we thought we could because we understand that Sunday is a school night. We will try to move it along as quickly as possible, but we do want to take time to celebrate the achievements of our many teams.

Again, we’d like to thank you for your patience and understanding–and from many of you, your encouraging notes of support and offers of help while we worked through this. We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday!
