With judges and team meetings in the morning, competition will start after lunch, with my assignments not yet been announced. At 1230, Division 2 will compete in Round 1. At 1430, Division 1 will compete in Round 2. Finally, at 1630, Division 3 will compete in Round 3. I have a dinner reservation at 1930 at Yachtsman Steakhouse

Up at 0610, at Disney World’s Boardwalk Hotel. I went down to the convention center in time for our 0830 meeting of the Coordinating Judges. From there, it was on to the judges’ meeting and then the orientation meeting for the teams. I met the Duval team, coached by Michael Palmer, husband of Heather Harper. We had Italian for lunch before beginning the competitions. In the First Round, at 1239, with Division 2, I kept an Item analysis sheet developed by Gene. For the second round, at 1430, with Division 1, I was the coordinating judge. Round 3, at 1630, had me in the same room, with Division 3 and, also, as the coordinating judge. I was thrilled to discover that A-Plus has fixed whatever was wrong with our website and it is, again operating. At 1915, I left the room and scootered to the other side of Crescent Lake and to Yachtsman Steakhouse. Dinner was far more than I could finish before scootering back to the room. There, much to my dismay, I found our website was, once again, inoperable. I spent some time talking with them before going to bed at 2213.
