Hi Everyone,
As many of you have already heard, ARML as we know it is not happening this year. However, it is being replaced with the ARML Local contest that usually occurs in April, and this contest will not require any travel. Other than dealing with the ponderous logistics of collecting fees and permission slips and getting 150 people to Las Vegas, we plan to keep things as close to normal this year as possible. This includes holding practices and organizing teams for the contest that ARML is running. We would like to invite all interested students in grades 6 through 12 to join our community this year; please fill out the information sheet at http://mathleague.org/armlapp.php so we can get you on our mailing list for announcements and practice meeting links.
We will be meeting for practice over Zoom every Saturday and Sunday from 5pm to 7pm Pacific beginning this weekend and continuing until further notice. For now students will be given an opportunity at practice to choose among various breakout rooms to attend. We will cover the same material in both practices each weekend, so students can choose which time suits them best. However, students who are interested in attending both Saturday and Sunday may join different breakout rooms each session for double the mathematical fun! As the season progresses, we will begin to assign students to teams for ARML Local as well as any other scrimmages we can arrange; at this point we may change the practice details so as to get full teams practicing specific material at the same time.
Please note that this is the only email you should expect about ARML from our existing mailing lists; if you wish to receive further notifications, be sure to sign up at http://mathleague.org/armlapp.php so we can get you on our ARML 2020 mailing list. We are looking forward to another successful ARML season and hope you can join us!
-Tim and all the other SFBA and WWW ARML coaches
