ARML practice this Saturday May 8

Hi everyone, 

Our next ARML practice will be on Saturday, May 8, 4pm-7pm Pacific time. As always, you can find the practice schedule at https://math.berkeley.edu/~moorxu/2021ARML. Like usual, the Zoom link for this practice will be sent to this email list approximately 10 minutes before the start of practice.

Practice materials from past practices can also be found at the practice website, with the following username and password:

ARML is a team activity, and as such, it is really important that everyone come to practice whenever possible -- the team depends on everyone'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 or cause you to be an alternate at the competition. (This year, practice attendance will only be tracked starting from this week's practice - don't worry if you just found out about ARML and missed the first couple practices.)

As a reminder, even though team placements will be announced later this week, everyone is welcome to come to our practices, regardless of whether you are on a team to compete at the competition on June 5. No fees are required if you only want to attend practices. If you know anyone who might want to join us at practices, please direct them to join our mailing list.

This year, we have reserved the final hour of most practices for a mix of math and social activities. The goal is to make practice more engaging and better simulate the serendipity of interactions at in-person practices. If you have any suggestions for activities (or especially if you want to lead one), please reach out and let us know!

A few logistical reminders and links:

• Information about practices, including a full practice and tryout schedule, is available at our practice website.
• Practice materials from last weekend's practice are now also available at the practice website.
• If you ever miss any announcements, you can view our email archive.
• In preparation for relay rounds at practice, join our Discord server.
• If you want to unsubscribe from this email list, please reply to me and I'll remove you.
• Please let us know if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing everyone at practice this weekend!

Best,

Moor
