Pics from BFLO I, 2015:
BFLO II will be held on November 12, 2016, from 9am to 1:30/2pm, at Battle Ground Academy see here for directions. Note that we will start with check in to receive puzzle packets at 9 am in the Middle School Gymnasium (the first building you come to on the right side of Echo Lane). Then there will be a short opening assembly, the competition itself ca. 9:15-11:45am, BYO lunch (11:45am-12:10pm), and a fun activity period (ca. 12:10-1). During the activity period, students get to choose to watch a fascinating linguistics film, socialize in the language game room (Scattergories, Taboo, etc.), or relax and play outside with frisbees, balls, or even Dr. Ring's unique chainmail throwing disc. Finally, the awards ceremony will start about 1 pm or as soon as we have all the puzzles scored and ranking completed.
The event will take place on BGA's Glen Echo Campus as last year, likely in the same buildings, i.e. the assemblies will occur in the Middle School Gym and the competition rooms will be in the Middle School Academic Building. I have crafted some fascinating new puzzles...
REGISTRATION
This year's BFLO will have two separate contests at each level (middle and high school). Each student must choose one or the other contest, not both:
- individual (the student attempts to solve all puzzles alone)
- 2-3 person team (2 or 3 students cooperate to solve all the puzzles)
To register, please email Dr. Abram Ring the following information for each student:
Student name, grade level, school (we're open to all public, private, and home school students), sponsor/chaperone name & email, and the desired contest (individual or team)--and, if the student plans to compete in a team, the other team members.
Please spread the word.
