Teacher's Corner


The I/N Events

We really would like students to participate in the I/N events and have a good experience. A special promotiion for this tournament is that if they play in any two sessions of an I/N game, they get a 3rd session free.

The nonLife Master/Life Master Game

If you have a student who is playing in his/her first tournament, let us know (on your student's registration) so we can give your student special attention (such as a super-friendly Life Master, instead of our normal very-friendly Life Master).

Collecting Information

Carol Mathews, the Education Liaison for our unit, is trying to collect information about teachers in our unit.

Why should you send her information? In addition to helping her out, she receives at least a 100 requests a year for teachers. So she might be able to refer you, if she knows about you.

She is also forming an email list so that she can communicate special information to teachers.

You can call Carol at (631) 360-8456 or email her.
