Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If you have a question that is not answered below, please Contact Us for help.

How can I add/change a class?
To add/change/drop a class after the deadline, please contact the Head Coaches at Meadowbrookso.org@gmail.com

When do classes start?
Classes will probably start in the last week of September or later. Check back soon.

Where do the classes meet?
Each event class meets on a different day/time, and potentially in a different room, so please be sure to check the Class Schedule page (also linked on the top menu) for the latest information. Some classes are in-person at Meadowbrook; others are virtual.

How can I find out what my students events are?
All students will be receiving a confirmation email with coach info and the day, time and room number or Zoom link of the classes they signed up for.

How many events can a student have?
A student can pick between 2 and 5 events; however, 3 events is generally most manageable for students. Note that build events require an increased time commitment, so we recommend only 1-2 build events at maximum.

Can I do only one event?
Students who only sign up for 1 event will not be able to compete in tournaments. In a tournament, each team can only have 15 people to cover all 23 events, so students doing 1 event cannot fit on the team. (MBMS usually sends 3-5 teams of 15 people.)

What are Concurrent Events?
Concurrent events are events that take place at the same time at the Regional competition. For your student to compete, it is very important that they pick only one event from a box. See the table on the Class Schedule page for Concurrent Events for this year.

How do I register more than one student in the same family?
Each student needs to be registered by using separate email address. Tip: If you would like to use same email address for both students and have gmail address, you can include a . (period) or a + (plus sign) in the email address. For example you can use myemail@gmail.com or my.email@gmail.com or myemail+anytext@gmail.com. You will still receive emails at the same address.
