Hey there OMers! Many of you have had questions about the Virtual World Finals registration deadline and after a good deal of discussion and deliberation, we've reached a decision.

@SergioCappellu1 We're specifically telling teams NOT to violate any public health directives, like social distancing. There are numerous video conferencing services that teams can use to practice together and even perform. A team from NY even made a demo for OMers...

Odyssey has encouraged students for more than 40 years to think beyond the box. Now's the time to put that attitude into action! We will not allow an Odyssey season to pass without teams performing their solutions or without recognizing their hard work. More details on April 1!

@JEG2 Please understand that despite the program's size, our actual staff is <10 people and these are big potential changes to an event that takes over a year to plan. We are committed to finding a way for teams to present their solutions in a safe and responsible way.

@JEG2 The attitude has never been that WF WILL happen but that it COULD. We're preserving the option, should conditions allow. We're simultaneously developing alternatives in case we need to cancel and we'll take that action if the coming weeks show it to be the best option.
