Memo #3
February 7, 2006

The question has come up whether it is OK for schools to send more than one team. This has never been a problem in the past, but the fact that we're working with such a large field this year makes it a more complicated problem. Including the multiple teams, our current count is 20 teams from outside of southern California and 8 teams from the Los Angeles area. We're equipped to handle only 18 teams on Friday, but if a couple of teams from out of town were to arrive in Los Angeles early enough in the day to present on Thursday afternoon or early evening (that is, the same day as the local teams), we could accommodate everyone who is interested. If your travel plans are such that you'd be in Los Angeles early enough, would you please let me know so that we can decide about this.

Thanks, Tom
