Coaches' Forums Rules & Guidelines
Welcome to the TOYchallenge forums page, where you can share TOYchallenge competition tips and ideas with other teams.
You must be a registered TOYchallenge 2008 coach in order to participate in these forums. Coaches should have received instructions via email on how to register. If you have any questions or concerns, you may contact us. However, all visitors are welcome to view existing topics or discussions.
The forums are for those involved in TOYchallenge to discuss details like travel, expenses, coaching tips, PRE guidelines, presentation assistance, rules, and how to make your TOYchallenge experience the best possible.
What you can do:
- Post questions and comments
- Get feedback from other TOYchallenge participants on your ideas and questions
- Respond to other forums
- When posting a new topic, please only post it once, in the most relevant forum, as multiple postings of the same question across forums don't generally mean more chance of getting a response - often the reverse!
What you cannot do:
- No advertising is allowed in any of the forums
- Please do not disclose any personal information about yourself or Team Members
- First names and locations are allowed, but no addresses, phone numbers, team names or other identifiable information
If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. Some of your questions may already be answered.
