Volunteer

Thank you for your interest in volunteering and/or helping us recruit volunteers.  Please contact both Chris Putnam and Mike Doddo at
cputnam@bcps.org and mdoddo@bcps.org  if you would like to volunteer or can assist us with recruiting volunteers.

We will be in need of many Judges, Computer Operators and General Assistants.  We will have training available on-site for these positions.  All volunteers will receive meals, snacks and a free shirt.

We actually are set for volunteers this year!
However, we are seeking judges for our state IQ event and our High School event.

Emergency/Bad Weather Policy

In the event of bad weather we will attempt to modify the event to fit within this weekend.  In the event of a complete cancellation details will be emailed to teams on how to proceed.

We must go by Baltimore County Public School weather policy. If the event is cancelled due to weather, we will partially refund teams.

There is a possibility of a snow date.  The snow date is March 14th. 

Look for emails from the event partner and also check our State Championship website at http://mdvex.weebly.com/

Refund Policy

Refunds will be issued up to February 15, 2020. Any teams cancelling beyond this date or not showing for the event will not receive a refund. If the event is cancelled we will issue refunds to teams who cannot attend the alternate date.

There is a possible date and location to reschedule the competition. 

If the event is cancelled due to weather, we will refund teams minus the $5 fee that RECF charges us.  However, the event does have a weather date of March 14, 2020.
