BOSPRE 2006 is a cooperative effort between Fitchburg State, which is a host site, and Harvard, which provides judging and problems using the net.
Edgerly is on North Street in Fitchburg. But you can't park on the street, you'll need to pass us by on your way to the parking lot. The Weston parking lot, also on North Street, is about 200 level yards north of Edgerly, on the other (west) side of the street.
If you are coming up North Street from Main, you'll pass the Recreation Center on the left; after another block, you come to the library and student center (Hammond) on the corner of Pearl and North. Edgerly is just beyond, to the north of the library, and also on the right (east) side, facing North Street. Continue past Edgerly, under the cafeteria built over the street, past the power plant (tall smokestack!) and take your first available parking. Most likely to be available is the Weston lot, on the left side of North Street. Then walk back and meet us in Edgerly 102. I'm hoping that the construction obstacles currently blocking the walk will be gone by the 14th, but if not, you'll have to continue south on North Street under the cafeteria, gazing wistfully over the fence to the Edgerly building on your left, pass it by, and then double back.
Copies of handouts from the Web will be available (but you'll wish you'd read them in advance.)
Coffee, soda, donuts and similar distractions will be set out in Edgerly 102. Teams may checkout the labs and settle in.
9:45 Short meeting in Edgerly 201 for pep talk and to review contest rules and procedures.
10:00 The problems will be distributed.
10:00-3:00 The actual contest.
12:00 (approximately) A sandwich buffet will be available in Edgerly 102. Eating in the computer labs is not permitted, but team members may either take short nibble breaks, or defer actually eating until after the contest finishes.
3:00-3:40 General meeting in Hammond pub to compare problem solutions, learn the final score, and generally unwind before leaving.
Ice cream and more sandwich fixings will be available in the pub, in case you were too wound up to eat earlier.
