First, let me say thank you for coming out to the practice last
Saturday; we had way more students at that practice than i imagined
would show up, and i was overwhelmed by the turnout. Thanks for your
dedication!
Let's talk transportation for a minute. i've got a bus scheduled to
leave Stanford at noon on the 2nd, but with over 80 students going
this year we have quite a bit more passengers than can fit on one bus.
i know the bus ride is the best part of ARML, but i need to convince
at least two dozen of you to fly in order to fit everyone else on the
bus. So here's what i can offer: i will refund $50 of your ARML fees
to any student who books a flight and forwards me their confirmation
email by midnight Saturday (send this email to
operations@mathleague.org). Parents are encouraged to fly as well if
that works for you. Now here are your options for flights; you must
select from these flights if you plan to fly to ARML:
June 2, San Jose to Las Vegas (either flight is acceptable)
Southwest 625 (leaves at 8:55) OR Southwest 2379 (leaves at 9:35)
June 4, Las Vegas to San Jose
Southwest 3152 (leaves at 8:10)
Next is some information from Ted Alper about T-shirts for this year:
==============================================
Subject: 2011 SFBA ARML team t-shirt design competition!
Hi, everyone. We need a team t-shirt for ARML -- and you have a chance
to design it! Any student who wishes to submit a design is very
welcome to do so; we will vote on the designs in in mid-May.
Here are the ground rules -- please read them carefully, even the ones
at the end!
(a) it should include the words "SFBA" or "San Francisco Bay Area" or
both
(b) it should include the words "ARML" or "American Regions
Mathematics League" or both
(c) It should include at least the year (2011). You *could* also
include
the specific days (June 3 & 4), and/or "UNLV" or "Las Vegas, Nevada"
or "University of Nevada, Las Vegas" or some variant of this.
(d) It should NOT include anything that might be considered offensive
to other students, parents, teachers, or, really, anyone. This has
never been a problem in the past, but we do explicitly reserve the
right to censor submissions that fail to meet this criterion.
(e) it should not use copyrighted material, unless you own the
copyright!
(f) a maximum of 4 colors (and different shades count as different
colors! This will be silk-screened, so subtle blending and mixing of
these 4 colors is out; On the other hand, half-tones are ok.) Front
and back count separately -- that is, you could have 2 colors on each
side, or 3 on one side and 1 on the other, or simply have JUST front
artwork with 4 colors. You don't need to count the background color of
the shirt.
(g) It would be helpful if you can produce your design in a
high-resolution version (preferably TIFF, PSD, or EPS formats, the
sort of thing you can do with Photoshop, GIMP, or Paint.NET, etc.) for
the printers. Low-resolution designs do NOT look good on t-shirts! If
you don't have the tools to do this, don't worry, the t-shirt company
art staff can often redo your design in a higher-resolution format if
you can't, but there's no guarantee it will be exactly the same.
Email me ( Ted "dot" Alper "at" gmail "dot" com) the files, with a
NAME for the design, and I'll upload them for public viewing.
(h) You need to make your submission no later than Monday, May 16, at
noon. (that's in just two weeks!) Once the voting begins, we will not
be able to add late submissions. The last day of voting will be
Monday, May 23. (The design will be given to the printer the next day)

Finally, here is a list of students we have going so far, for your
information. Students are arranged alphabetically. For privacy
reasons, please do not post this on the internet anywhere. If your
name is spelled incorrectly or doesn't show up, or if you reversed
your first and last names when you signed up, please let us know so we
can make sure our records are correct. Moor will be assigning students
to teams at practice:
