Just as we have learned to adjust many facets of our lives during a pandemic, adjustments have been made to our “traditional” tournament. The proposed tournament schedule has individual teams arrive on campus, present their long-term solution, go to Spontaneous and then leave campus. A virtual awards ceremony will be held later in the day.
