Steps for Registering a Team
The process for registering a team is easy to accomplish! Below are a few simple steps to guide you through the process
Get a Creative Competitions Inc Membership to Join Odyssey of the Mind
In order to get started, you must register for a Creative Competitions Inc (CCI) membership. A membership allows you to have access to all of the complete long term problems as well as a copy of the program guide. A membership is required in order to participate in a local tournament.
Memberships may be purchased for entire schools or groups. We suggest new schools/groups look over the Membership Information to get a better understanding of how memberships can be set up.
