Well, the meeting today was good! Here is the scoop for tomorrow. We have a DRESS DOWN DAY!!! Have the kids at least BRING their shirts, even if they don't wear them; we'll be wearing them to the BATTLE!

The Battle is at Auburn Middle School on Riley Road (off Rt. 605) I have never been there so I think you'd be better off with Mapquest!! We will meet a little before 5 (4:50ish would be great) and have Chinese Food, kindly provided by the Moser-Schwartz family! Then the Battle will begin!

The Battle will proceed much like the Open, but instead of taking the Multiple Choice test beforehand, the first round will be the team and the alternates taking the MC test. Then Rounds 2 and 3 will be just like the Open. The Jeopardy Round will take place while the scores are being tallied. Team members AND alternates will be able to qualify for the Jeopardy round and there is no limit to how many members from one school can be in the Jeopardy round. So the kids REALLY need to try hard on the Multiple Choice test, which is how they will qualify for the Jeopardy Round.

THIS IS IT!! We all started the meeting today by visualizing the coordinator announcing Highland School's deHAWKS as the winners of the Piedmont Regional Battle of the Books! GO TEAM!!
