Information about judging can be found at https://www.novanorth.org/wp/?page_id=1858; a link to register is at the bottom of the page.  On the NoVA North web site select Regional Tournament Judges under the Judges menu item at the top of the page; the Judges Training event in the Important Events list also has a link.

Judges who are volunteering on behalf of a team need to sign up before the team can be registered for the Regional Tournament.  The team’s coach will need the ID number assigned as well as the exact name you provided (if you are known as Bob but registered as Robert the coach needs to identify you as Robert).

Please be aware that there is an addition to the Program Guide this year regarding Artificial Intelligence.

New Rule added #28: The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology for any part of a team’s solution is considered Outside Assistance.

This week’s office hours will focus on reading the Long Term Problem.  Coaches will also have time to ask any questions they have. The link for the meetings is https://meet.google.com/zzu-zruw-dts.  The schedule for the whole series is listed on this page:  https://www.novanorth.org/wp/?page_id=9195.

For additional guidance throughout the season, coaches are also advised to review the 2023-2024 Program Guide and the many videos and articles available on the NoVA North Resources page: https://www.novanorth.org/wp/?page_id=3597.
