March 23

We’re putting the schedule together now. We’ll send a draft in the next day or so to make sure it works for everyone.

Once the schedule is set, we’ll ask judges to sign up. It will help if they know which topics they can choose from. Please send us your topic and a one-sentence description to office@ibecc.net if you haven’t done so already.

One of the drawbacks of an online event is that there’s not the sort of informal interaction among teams and judges that we have when we meet in person. To compensate for how impersonal that makes things, I’d like to encourage teams to make a short video introducing yourselves. It doesn’t have to be any more exotic than a minute or two shot on your phone. Tell us something about yourselves. We’ll encourages the judges to watch these ahead of time so you aren’t total strangers to them. If you’re game, please email them to office@ibecc.net and we’ll put them on the website.

Another update in a day or so.
