Kennesaw Mountain Possible Invitational 2013-2014
Hey everyone, I'm a member of the Science Olympiad team at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Kennesaw, GA. I have been emailing with my coach the past week and we might host an invitational sometime this coming year. I have not noticed a lot of invitationals in GA so far, so I think it would be go to start one. We are the Metro Atlanta area, so there are most likely tons of teams that would be able to drive. KMHS is also a Magnet school, specializing in Math, Science, and Technology, so I would think some of the students would definitely help with this event. I was wondering if anyone would actually want for us to host one and if you would, respond on this thread. And I was wondering if some people could give us pointers on how to minimize costs of this event. And remember: This is not a definite invitational, so don't plan on there being anything. Thanks a lot everyone!

Re: Kennesaw Mountain Possible Invitational 2013-2014
Are you thinking a Div C Invite or a Div B invite or both? I coach a B and a C team in North Fulton, both would be very interested in attending, depending on the month/day. Most invites charge a fee of $75 per team and you can also make more money/reduce expenses by selling concessions during the Invite. GASO will give your team a kick back for hosting an invite. Contact our state directors Lance Crimm at SPSU [email protected] and Kelly Price [email protected] . They can help you and get this message out to all 2012-2013 Georgia C and B coaches. There are not a lot of us on SciOly...appleguru98 wrote:Hey everyone, I'm a member of the Science Olympiad team at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Kennesaw, GA.

Re: Kennesaw Mountain Possible Invitational 2013-2014
We would start out with a Division C invite because those are the events everyone is familiar with. Thank you for the information to contact the state directors. Do you happen to know of any other invitationals in our area?rfscoach wrote: Are you thinking a Div C Invite or a Div B invite or both?

I'm not sure if it's close to you, but the Booth invitational takes place in Georgia every year.appleguru98 wrote:We would start out with a Division C invite because those are the events everyone is familiar with.

The JC Booth invite is Div B, held in late January, in Peachtree City, south of Atlantaappleguru98 wrote:We would start out with a Division C invite because those are the events everyone is familiar with.

The current C invites are:
Div C Rockdale Magnet - usually held on the Nov SAT date (so my HS team does not go to that)
Div C Alpharetta HS Invite in Alpharetta Ga.- Usually mid Nov.
Div C Brookwood HS Invite in Snellville Ga. - Usually 1st weekend of January after school is back in session.
Old C invites that haven't happened for a few years - Westminster, Duluth
There is also a Combined B/C invite at Shades Valley HS in Irondale, Al in early December. It is a 2-4 hour drive for most Metro Atlanta teams. I know a few of the Gwinnett teams have gone to it. I keep thinking about it, but the leaving at 3:30 am keeps putting me off.

Re: Kennesaw Mountain Possible Invitational 2013-2014
Its about a 2 and a half hour drive from my school, and I don't think our team would like to leave at 5:00 am. We left at 6:00 am last year for regionals down in Macon and our coach didn't like having to get up early for it.rfscoach wrote: The JC Booth invite is Div B, held in late January, in Peachtree City, south of Atlanta

Re: Kennesaw Mountain Possible Invitational 2013-2014
Another option is to go there the night before. Adds to the cost and time commitment.....appleguru98 wrote:Its about a 2 and a half hour drive from my school, and I don't think our team would like to leave at 5:00 am.

Re: Kennesaw Mountain Possible Invitational 2013-2014
My team always does that. If you need to raise money, putting on a school dance or doing a pancake breakfast somewhere are good ideas.rfscoach wrote:Another option is to go there the night before.
