2020 State Tournament

Dear Minnesota Odyssey of the Mind Family,
Unfortunately, due to this year's COVID-19 virus, we will be canceling our scheduled onsite state tournament. Our number one priority at the end of the day is to find a way to honor all the hard work both kids and coaches have done while ensuring that everyone is safe. Therefore,  we will be conducting our tournament online this year. Although this isn't ideal and certainly can't duplicate the energy and excitement of the actual event, hopefully it will still allow each team to showcase their creativity, hard work, and talents.

Below, you will find the instructions to compete in the first ever Minnesota Odyssey of the Mind Online State Tournament. Please do not hesitate to contact me for any help you may need. You can contact me through [email protected] We can even then set up a call to help you through the process. 

We will have the tournament open starting Saturday, April 18.  We will give teams plenty of time to coordinate to make a video of their team's solution and find a time to do their spontaneous problem before setting a deadline. We will then judge, score, and present the results to everyone. We will send awards and also keep everyone updated on the status of World Finals.

Again, thank you for all you have done for making Odyssey of the Mind possible in the state of Minnesota. We appreciate all of you and wish everyone safe.

Sincerely,
Minnesota Odyssey of the Mind Board
