[2018 ARML] - Bus arrival back at San Jose

Hi parents,

If you're picking up someone arriving on the bus, we're estimating arrival at San Jose Diridon Caltrain station at 6:30pm. Bus will arrive at the same parking spot as on Thursday... see my earlier email for a map.

Best, 

Moor

[2018 ARML] - Check in details for ARML

Hi everyone, just a couple of notes about what to do when you get to Las Vegas:

If you are arriving by car and are on the SFBA team, come to Williams Hall and call Silas at 650-906-0581 .

If you are arriving by car and are on the WWW team, come to Tonopah Hall and call Barry at 520-243-3339 .

If I am picking you up at the airport on Friday, meet at the info booth near baggage claim 8 and call me at 708-872-5244 if I'm not already there.

If I am picking you up at the airport on Thursday, call me when you land.

[2018 ARML] - ARML Bus Information

Hi everyone,

This is important information about the ARML bus. (If you're flying to ARML, feel free to disregard this email.)

The bus will load at the San Jose Diridon (Caltrain) Station. Once you're there, look for bus loading spot #3 near the entrance to the train station. Here's a map: https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2018ARML/documents/busmap.png

The spot labeled X1 is our bus loading location. Please do not park in the parking spots labeled "Caltrain Employee Parking", marked on the map with yellow and black X's. If needed, you can stop briefly in the parking lot labeled X2 on the map to unload. If you have trouble finding the bus, please call me at 541-206-7651.

All students should arrive for bus loading at 8:30am on Thursday. Do not be late. Once the bus is loaded, it will leave without you if you are not there. Note the earlier time this year!

You may wish to bring games and movies for the bus. We will only have movies if someone brings them! Also, feel free to coordinate games, movies, etc on the SFBA ARML facebook page! https://www.facebook.com/groups/bayareaarml/ If you're not in the group, request to be added and we'll add you. You may also wish to bring a (refillable) water bottle and a pillow/blanket if you're planning to sleep on the bus.

We have a team tradition of wearing our oldest ARML t-shirts on the bus. I will wear a shirt from 2008, and I'm excited to see your ARML shirts from past years.

If you have any questions about the bus, please ask! See you soon!

Best,
Moor

[2018 ARML] - Reminder: final practice on Saturday!

Hi everyone,

Our next (and final) practice will be this Saturday 2:00pm-5:30pm at Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto. (See the website https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2018ARML/ for more info.) Note that it's a longer practice than usual. Please make an extra effort to come to practice (on time) for this final weekend before ARML. 

During the final 15-30 minutes of practice, we'll stop doing math and have a team meeting about the trip. This is also your chance to ask questions about whatever is on your mind. :)

You can find practice materials from past practices online on the practice website. As usual, username=sfba and password=arml. You may wish to see the practice notes page for this week on what we covered each week.

Best,
Moor

Re: [2018 ARML] - ARML 2018 Itinerary

Slight correction; the dates for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday are wrong.  The correct dates are Thursday, May 31st through Sunday, June 3rd.  This will be corrected in the updated version.

For those of you who have done this before, notice that the Stratosphere trip will be on Friday instead of Saturday.  That's because ARML is not organizing a Friday night event this year, just handing out pizza after the Team and Power rounds.  We will also not be going to dinner at the Stratosphere due to the tighter schedule (only going up the tower), so you'll need to pick up pizza before leaving.

Also, the Super Relay is not being held on Friday night like in the past.  We'll be organizing a Super Relay within our group immediately preceding Casino Night.  If you're flying home on Saturday, we'll send copies to the airport so you can race against each other while waiting for your flight.

See you next week in Las Vegas!

[2018 ARML] - Want extra t-shirts?

Hi Everyone,

We're down to the last two weeks before ARML! Thanks for all your hard work at practice so far. For those of you who haven't turned in permission slips yet, expect to start getting increasingly urgent emails from Kendra about turning them in. At this point, we can no longer accept permission forms at practice, so they will need to be mailed to the address on the website.

As for t-shirts, the group has decided on the Pascal's Triangle design. If you are interested in purchasing extra shirts, you must purchase them online by May 23. 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. Any additional shirts you want to purchase can be ordered through the link above; t-shirts will be distributed after ARML so we don't have a bunch of people running around in tie-dyed shirts impersonating coaches. :D

While I'm on the subject of t-shirts (and in case I forget later), remember that you are required to wear your 2018 team t-shirt on Saturday. Tradition dictates that you wear the oldest ARML shirt you have on the day you travel to Las Vegas; this is not a requirement, but it's, you know, fun. :)

Re: [2018 ARML] - t-shirt voting and roster

Hi all,

Two quick things about the t-shirt survey:

1. Some of the designers also produced alternate-color mockups of their designs, so that you can see what it would look like on a variety of different shirt colors.  If you'd like to see those, I've collected them online here.

2. I misstated the title of one design; it should be "Heron's Formula (back) and SFFT Frog (front)".

Don't forget to get your votes in!

--Silas

[2018 ARML] - Practice on Sunday this weekend

Hi all,

It's that time of week again... this is your reminder that this weekend we'll have practice on Sunday 5/20, 2pm-5pm, at Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto. (See the website https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2018ARML/ for more info.)

I understand that there is a conflict with ProCo this weekend. For those of you at ProCo this weekend, you might still be able to come to some of practice, and I encourage you to do so if you're able to do so. As always, if you need to miss a practice for any (good) reason, please make sure you fill out the form on the website before practice.

I've uploaded practice materials from the past practices to the practice website. As usual, the username is sfba and the password is arml.

Note that this practice is your last opportunity to hand in a permission form in person -- we cannot accept permission forms at the final practice. If you have not yet turned in a permission form, please bring your (notarized) form to this weekend's practice and hand it to me or Tim.

See you this weekend!

Best,
Moor

[2018 ARML] - t-shirt voting and roster

Okay, our t-shirt designs are in and voting is up.  Deadline to vote is midnight Sunday.  You can see the designs and vote at  https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/25ZZBDX .  Please spend some time (no more than 5 minutes) at practice Sunday trying to come to a consensus within your teams as to what color you want your team's shirt to be, and what your backup color will be if another team wants the same color.  A1 and A2 are guaranteed pink and black respectively if they want those colors, so if A1 picks pink or A2 picks black they do not need to pick a backup color.

For reference, here is our roster as it currently stands. Please make sure your name is here if you think you are going to ARML:

[2018 ARML] - Practice on *Saturday* at Stanford, please note unusual time

Hi everyone, 

Our next practice will be on Saturday 5/12, 1pm-4pm at Stanford (basement of building 380). Please note the earlier than usual time, and the unusual location. See the practice website for parking information and information on the remaining practices: https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2018ARML/. 

The practice absence form is also updated with more dates. Fill it out *before* practice if you need to miss practice, but please make sure to provide a good reason... your team needs you to come in order to have effective practices. :)

Quick reminder for anyone who hasn't yet turned in permission forms: you can do this at practice, and you can find information about it here: http://mathleague.org/armljoin.php.

[2018 ARML] - Flight update, SAT update, and more

Okay everyone, a few notes for this week:

First, I am extending the deadline for flight rebates one more time, to Thursday at midnight. Please see my previous email (archived at http://sfbaarml2018.blogspot.com/2018/04/2018-arml-arml-update-flights-t-shirts.html) with the specific flights you can purchase for a rebate along with the other relevant details. Also, I am adding a new option: you can claim a $50 rebate for booking an approved flight for Saturday night and sending us the confirmation by Thursday at midnight. In other words, I am offering half rebates if you want to take the bus down and one of the approved flights back. If you have already booked such an itinerary (hi Freya!) we will make this offer retroactive as well.

We are also looking for a couple more students to add to the team, so if any of you haven't signed up yet you have until midnight Wednesday (tomorrow) to do so. And if you know of someone who might be interested, get them to sign up right away. The plan is to have a handful of alternates so that we are sure to field five full teams for ARML even if some people have to drop out. New registrations at this point will not automatically be assigned to an alternate team; rather, we will assign alternates the week of ARML based on attendance at practices.

Thanks to all of you who submitted t-shirt ideas. As soon as we are done organizing the legitimate submissions we will send out a survey for you to vote on. And each team will get a chance to decide on their shirt color at a later practice (so A1, start figuring out what your favorite shade of pink is!).

Also, since some of you are likely to be interested, I wanted to announce that mathleague.org is starting a math contest internship program in the fall. Those of you who are graduating this year or have recently graduated are invited to apply, so I'm mostly talking to seniors and coaches here. You can find out more information at http://mathleague.org/InternshipInfo.pdf and the application at http://mathleague.org/InternshipApplication.pdf. Application deadline is June 10, and I am happy to answer any questions at practice or at ARML.

Finally, for those of you who have inquired about SAT conflicts, here is my handy guide to dealing with that:

Step 0 - Don't register for the SAT on ARML day :) (of course, for some of you that may be too late)

Step 1 - Look into the possibility of moving your SAT to sometime in the fall

Step 2 - If steps 0 and 1 don't work for you, visit https://collegereadiness.collegeboard.org/sat/k12-educators/coordinating/alternate-test-dates and try to get your school administrators on board for a makeup date the week after ARML; note that this is not guaranteed to work and largely depends on how cooperative your school is

Step 3 - Let us know if there are any outstanding concerns or if there is anything we can do to help you

That's all for now; see you at practice Saturday!

-Tim

[2018 ARML] - The real t-shirt deadline

Okay folks, Freya just sent me a note pointing out a mistake in my last email. Apparently I gave a deadline of May 7th for t-shirt submissions in a previous email, so it makes no sense to extend the deadline to the 6th. So I'm retracting the deadline extension and t-shirt submissions will be due on the 7th as originally announced. :)

-Tim

[2018 ARML] - Flight deadline extended and last call for t-shirts

Hi everyone,

Here's where things stand for ARML at this point: We have five teams from Northern California, and the coaches have assigned everyone to their respective teams. Teams will be announced at practice on Sunday, which gives us time to make any last-minute corrections. To that end, I have included a list below of everyone we believe has signed up and paid to go to ARML. If your name does not appear on this list but you are planning to go to ARML, you must notify us by 6pm Saturday evening (the 5th) or risk being placed on an alternate team. Now, that said, we could always expand to a sixth team if we have enough students, so if you or anyone you know is still on the fence about whether to go to ARML, let us know right away and we'll see what we can do about putting you on a team. At this point, no one who has not paid is guaranteed a spot on the team, so check with us before submitting payment so we can confirm whether we can take you onto the team.

Also, we are still looking for a few students to fly to ARML to balance out the bus-versus-flying numbers, so I am extending the rebate deadline to midnight Sunday. If you are interested in claiming a $100 rebate for taking the approved flights I mentioned in the previous email, book your flights and send us confirmation by midnight Sunday. You can find the approved flights in the email archives on the team web page.

And here's your last reminder to get a t-shirt design to us. We can extend the deadline to midnight on Sunday. See my previous email for details.

Re: [2018 ARML] - Travel logistics and next wave of A1/A2 qualifiers

[deleted - duplicate post]

[2018 ARML] - Travel logistics and next wave of A1/A2 qualifiers

TRAVEL LOGISTICS

The bus on Thursday will be leaving earlier this year.  We will load at 8:30 AM on Thursday, May 31st, and depart at 9 AM from the San Jose Caltrain station.  This change will better accommodate our driver's schedule, as well as allow everyone a little more free time on Thursday night.  We will make a lunch stop along the way and arrive in Las Vegas early enough for you to get dinner.

We are looking for parents to chaperone the official flights mentioned in our previous email (early Friday morning and Saturday evening between SFO/SJC and Las Vegas).  If you are a parent and planning to travel to ARML on one of the flights I mentioned last week, we would like to invite you to be a flight chaperone for us. You may make your own hotel arrangements in Las Vegas, but we will provide lodging in the UNLV dorm for flight chaperones who are also willing to take on proctoring/grading and supervision responsibilities.  If you are available to be a flight chaperone (regardless of whether you plan to stay in the dorms or at a hotel), please fill out the information sheet and contact the coaching staff.

For students who will be traveling to ARML with your parents independently of the team (i.e. not on the bus or on approved flights), you will need to arrive on campus with your parents either between 8:30 and 9:30 PM Thursday evening, or between 8:30 and 9:30 AM on Friday.  These are the only times when staff will be available to check you into the dorms, so book your flights accordingly.  Note that all students MUST be supervised during travel, so a parent must be with you when you check in.

If you will be traveling home from ARML with your parents, we will have instructions for you later on how to check out.  Pickup times are flexible, but students will not be able to leave before about 4:30 PM on Saturday.

ELITE TEAMS

This week we have selected another ten students for the A1/A2 teams.  Please note that we will be finalizing our team selection within the next week-ish, so if you have not yet paid for ARML there is still time to join the team officially, but you need to do it soon.  We should be able to accept onto the team anyone who completes payment by May 1, but after that we cannot guarantee any spots on any teams.  Obviously there are fewer spots available now on the elite teams, but that does not mean it is impossible to make it onto one of the elite teams.  We are also planning to field a JV team this year, consisting exclusively of students in grade 10 and below. Selection for the JV team will occur at the same time as for the non-elite teams.

Anyway, here are the ten students we've selected for the elite teams this week.  Once again I can promise you that not all of these students will be on A1, but I can also promise that they will all be on either A1 or A2.

[redacted]

[2018 ARML] - ARML Local on Sunday!

Hi everyone,

Our next practice will be this Sunday, April 22, 2pm-6pm, at El Palo Alto Room, Mitchell Park Community Center, in Palo Alto. You can find information about this and subsequent practices at the practice website: https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2018ARML/.

We will be participating in ARML Local at this practice. This is an official ARML-style competition written by ARML. Since this is an official contest, please ensure that you arrive on time (and budget some time to park). Additionally, note that this practice is longer than usual in order for us to have sufficient time to complete the contest.

Simon will be in charge of assembling teams for the ARML Local competition. For anyone wanting to be placed onto an elite team for ARML Local, you need to check in with Simon at the entrance of El Palo Alto Room by 2:00pm sharp. People who arrive after team selection is complete will be assigned to teams in the order of when they arrive. Note: these teams are just for ARML Local and have no relation to future team selection for the ARML contest.

This may also be a good time to review the ARML math conventions: http://www.arml2.com/arml_2018/public_documents_all_sites/ARML_Conventions_2014.pdf, including sections about formatting your answers.

For any parents who are thinking about coming with us to ARML, this practice can be a good opportunity to come help out with some proctoring and see what the experience of volunteering at ARML is like.

As a reminder, if you can't make it to practice on a particular day, fill out the Practice Absence Form on the website before that practice, with a good reason. In particular, there is no need to email me about missing a practice, and I do not accept practice excuses over email. Unexcused absences may negatively affect placement on elite teams.

I am posting all materials (problems and solutions) used at practices on the practice website. In order to view this material, use username=sfba and password=arml.

Let me know if you have any questions. See you on Sunday! :)

[2018 ARML] - ARML update - flights, t-shirts, and elite teams

Hi Everyone,

Here are a few notes you should be aware of. Please read this entire email. You should also have received Moor's email with details about this Sunday's practice; if you didn't see that one, it's on the website.

FLIGHTS

We are starting to coordinate transportation for ARML this year, and we're ready to open up the first two flight options. Here they are:

SAN FRANCISCO 
Southwest 1747, June 1
SFO-LAS, 6:20-7:55am 
Southwest 4696, June 2
LAS-SFO, 6:10-7:45pm

SAN JOSE
Southwest 1192, June 1
SJC-LAS, 6:35-8:00am 
Southwest 3223, June 2
LAS-SJC, 7:30-8:50pm

For any student who purchases one of these EXACT round trips and sends us confirmation at arml@mathleague.org by midnight on April 30, we will refund $100 of your ARML fee because we will likely be able to sell your seat on the bus to someone else. Please note that the fares are likely to go up as people start buying tickets, so purchase them early if you're planning to fly. Also note that this $100 refund will not necessarily apply to other flights we open up or to purchases made after April 30; if we approve new flights or extend the deadline for claiming refunds I will post details, but DO NOT ask about other Bay Area flights for now. Any students who are interested in flying out of Sacramento should contact us to see about flight options. Remember, NO student goes to ARML unless it is on the bus or one of the flights we approve or pre-approved travel with their parents, as we need adult supervision at all times on the trip. Refunds will be issued after ARML is over.

For parents interested in going to Las Vegas, you may feel free to book any flight you choose and to make your own arrangements for accommodations in Las Vegas. If you are traveling independently to Las Vegas, we'd still like to know your transportation details so we can coordinate various aspects of the trip with you (for instance, we may be able to assist you with ground transportation, or we may ask you to volunteer to chaperone one of the flights if you are taking one of the approved flights). Any parents interested in riding the bus or staying in the dorms on campus should contact us for more details regarding cost and availability.

T-SHIRTS

We need a team t-shirt for ARML -- and you have a chance to design it! Any student who wishes to submit a design is very welcome to do so; we will vote on the designs in in mid-May.

The deadline for submissions is Monday, May 7th. Voting will begin on Tuesday May 8th and run for one week. Once the voting begins, we will not be able to add late submissions.

Here are the ground rules -- please read them carefully, even the ones at the end!

Include the words "SFBA" or "San Francisco Bay Area" or both
Include the words "NorCal" or "Northern California" or both
Include the words "ARML" or "American Regions Mathematics League" or both
Include at least the year (2018). You *could* also include the specific days (June 1-2), and/or "UNLV" or "Las Vegas, Nevada" or "University of Nevada, Las Vegas" or some variant of this.
Do NOT include anything that might be considered offensive to other students, parents, teachers, or, well, anyone. This has never been a problem in the past, but we do explicitly reserve the right to censor submissions that fail to meet this criterion.
Do NOT use copyrighted material, unless you own the copyright! 
Also, please be realistic about what your design will look like on a t-shirt

Use a maximum of 4 colors (and different shades count as different colors! This will be silk-screened, so subtle blending and mixing of these 4 colors is out; On the other hand, half-tones are ok.) Front and back count separately -- that is, you could have 2 colors on each side, or 3 on one side and 1 on the other, or simply have JUST front artwork with 4 colors. You don't need to count the background color of the shirt

It would be helpful if you can produce your design in a high-resolution version (preferably TIFF, PSD, or EPS formats, the sort of thing you can do with Photoshop, GIMP, or Paint.NET, etc.) for the printers. Low-resolution designs do NOT look good on t-shirts! If you don't have the tools to do this, our t-shirt printing company will have their art staff redo your design in a higher-resolution format if you can't, but there's no guarantee it will be exactly the same.

Email us (arml@mathleague.org) your files, the names of those who worked on the design, and a name for the design for the voting.

TEAM SELECTION

We are ready to announce the first ten students selected for elite teams. Each of these students will be on either the A1 or A2 team; exact placement will be determined later. We expect to announce another wave of elite team students next week, so if you haven't gotten your payment in yet, be sure to send that through our website or hand Moor a check on Sunday. We do not select anyone for an elite team until we have received their payment. Here are the first ten students:

Also, be sure to spread word to your friends about ARML; we'd love to bring as many students as possible this year, and it's not too late to join the team!

[2018 ARML] - First ARML Practice on Sunday!

Hi everyone,

Welcome to another year of ARML! I am organizing our team's practices for this year. Practices will be held weekly until ARML, on a mix of Saturday and Sunday afternoons. All information can be found at our practice website: https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2018ARML/.

Our first practice will be this Sunday, April 15, 2pm-5pm, at Room G4, Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto. You can find information about this and subsequent practices at the practice website.

ARML is a team activity, and as such, it is really important that everyone come to practice whenever possible -- the team depends on everybody's active participation. If you can't make it to practice on a particular day, fill out the Practice Absence Form on the website before that practice, with a good reason. Unexcused absences may negatively affect placement on elite teams.

I've heard that traveling to practices can be a challenge, so we've set up a Carpool Form on the website to assist you in setting up carpools. You can fill out that form to express interest in carpooling. The form responses are public, so you can view responses and contact each other to set up carpooling.

If you ever miss any announcements, you can view our email archive.

One more thing: Join the SFBA ARML facebook page! If you're not in the group, request to be added and I'll add you. :)

Again, all information about practices can be found at https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2018ARML/... check there if you have any questions! If you have a question that's not answered on the website, let me know and I'll be happy to help. :)

Best,
