The venues are the same.

CANCELLED-officially

No surprise: We're in Typhoon Condition II (as of 11:30 AM Friday).

A Typhoon Warning is now in affect in the CNMI - therfore - all NFL / NJFL and ITS events must be cancelled. A new date for NFL, NJFL and our Thespian Banquet will be scheduled ASAP and the location confirmed. The events on Oct 10 will go on as scheduled, as far as we know at this time.

Math Court

Because of the confusion regarding the invitations to register with the new codes, we decided to modify our registration process for this upcoming event in October.

Please submit all participants' registration by NAME, not code.

This will only apply to schools who have not accepted the invite and registered with the database.If your school has already received the invite and registered with the new codes, you do NOT need to re-submit the registration with names for we can look at the database.

Because of these changes, we are extending the registration deadline by one day. The new deadline for the October 10th event will be on Saturday, October 3rd. As always, please submit your registration using excel and please remember to write in the proctor's names.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Possible Storm Delays: NJFL-NFL Competitions; Thespian Banquet

We are still watching the storm, now Typhoon Melor (a/k/a 20 W), to determine whether this Saturday's planned events will be postponed. These events include the NJFL and NFL competitions and the Saturday evening banquet for thespians.

In the event that these events are not held as planned, Hal will post a notice on the main website, with a link on the Matrix page; I'll try to update here, also. Events postponed will be rescheduled.

Stay safe!

Tropical Storm Melor (a/k/a 20 W) has been up-graded to a Typhoon.


Different tracking methods put it either between Saipan and Rota, on target for Saipan, or heading just north of us. It looks like it's due to arrive about Saturday morning.

There's an excellent sidebar with advice, terminology, and a guide to storm conditions at the Guam PDN story on the storm.

Get Ready for Math Court!

This from Dora Miura (a/k/a Blossom).

The invitation for code registration (so we have a database of which code belongs to whom) is in the process of being sent out. Thanks for your patience.

The last day to register for the upcoming October event is this by midnight on Friday, October 2, 2009. We will not entertain any late registration and no excuse will be taken.

Just like last year, we would like the registration to be submitted EXCEL format. A sample format is attached to this e-mail

We only want the codes (no names), Grade, event entered into, and PROCTOR'S name.
We will not accept any registration if the proctor's names are missing. Remember for every ten students, we want one proctor.
In the case that a proctor can't make it to the event, have a substitute readily available to avoid delays.
This is a new school year so if you choose to assign new codes for students, that's fine with us, so long as they use the SAME codes throughout the year.

The revised rules will be posted online as soon as we make final revisions and submit it to Hal. Please remember to collect the $1 registration fee beforehand to speed up the registration process.

If you have any questions, please e-mail us.

Stay tuned for more information.
