Volunteer support for this tournament:
Many of our volunteers will be AIAA UAH student branch members, AIAA GHS members, and other Huntsville aerospace professionals. However, I'd love to get additional non-members who are seasoned moderators to help out. Please send me an e-mail at [email protected] if you're interested in serving as a moderator or scorekeeper. Computers are provided and all our scorekeeping is done in Google sheets.
