ARML 2016 Itinerary

Dear ARML team,

This year's itinerary is now posted on Moor's website. If you have any questions, please contact us as soon as possible.

You will notice one new item in the "rules" section this year. Because our awards ceremony happens rather late in the day compared to the other sites, you may become aware of contest results (from friends at other sites, AoPS, etc.) before they are announced at awards. If you do, do not share this information with anyone. Don't spoil the surprise for your teammates.

Final ARML practice on Sunday at Stanford

Hi everyone,

Our final practice will be on Sunday, May 29, from 12:00pm to 3:30pm, in the basement of Building 380 at Stanford. Note that this is a longer practice than usual.

As always, you can find more information about practices at https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2016ARML/.

Since this is the final practice, it is especially important that everyone come on time to practice -- your team is depending on you to be there! If you really need to miss practice, make sure that you fill out the practice absence form on the website before practice.

Best,
Moor

t-shirt orders and bus times

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for voting on t-shirts this year. We're going with the unicorn design, and as always each team will have a different color shirt. If you are interested in purchasing extra shirts, you must purchase them online by midnight tomorrow night. You can go to http://mathleague.org/armlshirts.php to place your order. Remember that these are adult sizes. You will be issued one t-shirt corresponding to your team assignment and the size you indicated when you signed up for ARML, but if you think you may have given us an incorrect size (or not realized they were adult sizes rather than youth sizes), feel free to email us to clarify. The t-shirt order will go in on Tuesday, so no changes can be made after that time

Also, I wanted to inform you of the bus departure details. For those of you taking the bus, you need to be at the San Jose Diridon Caltrain station by 10:30am on Thursday, June 2. This station is right across the street from SAP Center (go Sharks!), and a map is available here. The bus will depart from there and stop for a meal along the way before arriving in Las Vegas in the evening.

For next week's practice, plan on an afternoon practice on Sunday unless you hear otherwise from Moor. We're trying to arrange this one in Santa Clara County but will let you know more details when we have them.

ARML practice on Sunday 5/22

Hi everyone,

Our next practice will be on Sunday, May 22, from 2pm to 5pm, at Evans Hall in Berkeley. You can find more information about practices at https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2016ARML/.

As always, if you need to miss practice, please make sure that you fill out the practice absence form on the website before practice, with a good reason. :)

Sorry about the late notice for practice this week, and see you on Sunday!

Best,
Moor

ARML practice on Sunday 5/15 and shirt design voting!

Hi everyone,

Our next practice will be on Sunday, May 15, from noon to 3pm, at Evans Hall in Berkeley. As always, you can find more information about practices at https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2016ARML/. Old practice materials are posted there.

Tim will be at this practice, and this would be a good time to submit your (notarized) permission forms.

Team assignments were announced at the previous practice and are also listed at the end of this email. Please note that positions on elite teams are subject to regular attendance at practices. If you need to miss a practice, make sure that you fill out the practice absence form on the website before practice, with a good reason. Keep in mind that not all reasons are good. :)

It's time to vote on shirt designs and colors! See the survey below. As usual, each team gets to pick their own color. (Coaches are all of the colors -- tie-dye!) The deadline to submit the shirt design is the end of the day on Monday. Survey link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RB3HBQW

Best,
Moor

Excuse letter and last call for travel changes

Dear team,

We've prepared a letter that you can give to your teachers if you need it to be excused from school the days you're traveling to ARML. You can download it from Moor's practice site. Your teachers are welcome to contact us if they need any further information.

Lastly, Saturday will be the last day to make any changes to your travel plans (i.e. switching between bus and flights). After that, I will be finalizing our dorm arrangements, and thus we will probably not have dorm rooms available to accommodate changes. As always, send any last-minute changes to arml@mathleague.org.

ARML practice on Saturday 5/7

Hi everyone,

Our next practice will be Saturday, May 7, 2pm-5pm, at Valley Christian HS in San Jose. As always, you can find more information about practices at https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2016ARML/. Old practice materials are posted there.

Tim will be at this practice, and this would be a good time to submit your (notarized) permission forms.

We will announce teams at this practice. Please note that positions on elite teams are subject to regular attendance at practices. If you need to miss a practice, make sure that you fill out the practice absence form on the website before practice, with a good reason. Keep in mind that not all reasons are good. :)

One more thing: Check out the SFBA ARML Facebook group. You can request to be added to the group. It's a good place to chat about anything ARML or math-related!

Best,
Moor

Current ARML Roster - Double check for your name

Hi Everyone,

Please come to practice this Saturday! I changed my travel plans to be at this practice, and we will be announcing team assignments there. We will send an email with the teams after practice if you can't make it, but where's the fun in that? :) I assume you all know where to find practice details, but if you seriously haven't figured it out by now, send an email and we'll get you squared away.

In order to announce teams of course, we HAVE to know exactly who is going to ARML, so we are setting a firm deadline of Thursday to accept payments for the trip. After that, we can only add people to the team if someone else drops out. PLEASE check out the list below and make sure your name is there if you think you have paid to go to ARML. If your name does not appear on the list, we do not have a record of your payment for ARML, so if you think you did pay, let us know immediately! Coaches, Moor will be confirming with you separately whether you are going to ARML. While you're checking out the list, be sure to verify the spelling of your name, your gender, and what your transportation arrangements are. If any of this is incorrect, we need to know by Thursday or there could be problems getting you registered, getting you into the dorms, or getting you to ARML.

Speaking of getting to ARML, we would like to encourage a few more of you to consider flying to ARML on one of the approved flights mentioned earlier (send an email if you don't know where to find those details) in order to balance out the number of students flying versus taking the bus. So we are going to reopen the flight rebate option until Thursday night at midnight. Book your flights on one of the approved round trips and send us your confirmation by midnight Thursday, and you will get a $100 rebate after ARML is over.

-Tim
