Spontaneous Tournament Coming Soon!

To participate this tournament, your team doesn't need to be the same as the Mills Park OM team!

NC Eastern Region Spontaneous Tournament on Saturday, October 19th at Ephesus Elementary School in Chapel Hill. Teams of 3-7 participants will compete in all three spontaneous problem types against teams in their same age division. The cost is $50 per team. This event provides you an early-in-the-year opportunity to practice Spontaneous in a fun environment. And you don't have to worry about bringing all your props, backdrops, and costumes! This event is all about Spontaneous.

Registration will likely close on October 7 so that we can begin the scheduling process. Does this event interest you? If it does, you can email either one of us with questions or you can register with this form directly.
