2. There will be a short team introduction during the Opening Ceremony because of time constraints.

Judging Rooms:

1. Only the coach and Mentor allowed in the judging areas with their team
2. Coaches and mentors are not allowed to interfere with team presentations; answers etc.  Judges will ask a coach or mentor to leave the room immediately in such an event. The only time that this will be allowed, is on special request if there is a language translations problem (at the latest during the coaches meeting)

While we all compete for the big prize I would like to urge all teams to again have a look at the core values of FIRST LEGO League. We are the only sport which really accepts the notion of gracious professionalism. It is of utmost importance that we show this in all that we do. And remember TO HAVE FUN!

Thank you
