Each year, our region hosts an Odyssey of the Mind tournament at a local school district. We usually need 50-60 judges to help us determine team winners in several problems within several age brackets. In order to judge at our tournament, you must be trained at one of our local training sessions- which usually means attending an evening session at our BOCES Conference Center located at Gick Rd. in Saratoga Springs, NY. Please refer to our website for more details or to sign up: http://www.wswheboces.org/gt.cfm?subpage=133. See the left side navigation bar and click Judges Information under the Odyssey of the Mind link.
If you would rather contact us by phone or e-mail – please call either Mimi O’Brien or Eileen Minder at 518-581-3585 or e-mail us at mobrien@wswheboces.org. Feel free to recruit your family members, neighbors, friends or co-workers. If you are 18 years of age or older, we welcome you.
We look forward to hearing from you!
