VOLUNTEER TRAINING IS THE KEY TO A SUCCESSFUL COMPETITION

The volunteer’s competition overview introduces many aspects of the National Ocean Science Bowl and Blue Crab Bowl (BCB).  Since BCB is a serious academic competition, volunteers want and need to be confident and competent as officials, judges and staffers.  The best way to be ready is to practice with the rules and the competition buzzer system.

Orientations and training/practice sessions are scheduled at both ODU and VIMS.  It’s actually a lot of fun.  You get you know your colleagues, show off your expertise and test your reflexes.  Plus, we provide refreshments, too!

Contact VIMS or ODU Coordinators for the 2009 orientation and practice schedules.
