Campus Map: www.laspositascollege.edu/assets/docs/LPC-Campus-Map.pdf - Free parking in LOT A and LOT B. Registration and Judges Room in Building 1000.
Food - In Lobby area of Building 1000. Unlike past years, Las Positas College does not have the necessary staff to keep the cafeteria open on Saturday and Sunday for lunch (it will be open for lunch on Friday thgoug). While the tournament hosts will provide grab-n-go snacks, coffee and water througout the day, full meals (breakfasts, lunches or dinners) will not be provided. A quick google search will identify local establishments, but they all require a drive. Please plan accordingly for a team runner who can do a food run if needed.
Fun Events for Saturday and Sunday. The Talk Hawks have been working hard to provide an amazing experience for everyone. Some activities planned include cornhole, tarot card readings, balloon animals, and other carnival games between rounds.
Impress a Middle Schooler. We will also be having a contest “Impress a Middle Schooler.” There will be a panel of middle schoolers to judge contestants on their talent. Think of it like America’s got Talent…but for middle schoolers. Talents should not go longer than 4 minutes. Signups will happen at the tournament and take place on Sunday before the awards ceremony.
Invitation. Check out our attached documents on this FTN tournament splash page for further tournament and campus information.
