Dropouts and reallocating teams

Dropouts

  • A Team Leader would email their LTC informing them of their intention to withdraw from the competition.
  • The LTC emails the Team Coordinator (and Kickstart Coordinator if prior to Kickstart).
  • Efforts should be made to identify any issues that are preventing the team from continuing and solutions found if possible. If they would still like to dropout after discussion, then follow procedure below.
  • LTC spreadsheet should be updated.
  • Team Coordinator to update SRYear Teams spreadsheet and other relevant spreadsheets.
  • Team Coordinator needs to re-allocate space to either new team or if no new teams remain, to allocate a second team to an organisation, if requested (taking into consideration successful participation of a second team in previous years’ competitions, by consulting ‘Team Archive’)

To re-allocate a team

  • Consult Potential Team Leaders MailChimp list, sorted into chronological entries to establish waiting list.
  • Email offer of place (or second team place), asking to confirm contact information to first on the waiting list.
  • Once replied to confirm would still like to participate, update SRYear Teams spreadsheet, assign TLA after checking whether the Organisation has competed before.
  • Assign an LTC (nb. It is difficult to assign an LTC based on geographical location in the re-allocation process, therefore number of teams assigned to each LTC takes priority)
  • Update relevant LTC spreadsheet and email LTC informing them of new team allocation. They should then allocate the new team a mentor.
  • Update User account info spreadsheet and email relevant person informing them of new team allocation.
  • If before Kickstart: Update Kickstart Teams spreadsheet and email Kickstart Coordinator of new team allocation.
  • If after Kickstart: email Kit Coordinator about new team allocation.
  • Reply to confirmation email from Team Leader with ‘Team Leader Intro’ email edited to ensure up-to-date info re. Kickstart/obtaining kit.
