How should a team choose which problem to solve?


Whats Your Prob

Primary teams are limited to the primary problem.

For division one, division two and division three teams, there are five available problems. Ideally, all five problems should be read by each team member and the pros/cons of each problem should be discussed by the entire team. The final decision should be made by a majority vote.

To facilitate the discussion, coaches can share the problem statements ahead of time and ask team members to read each one and jot down pros/cons/thoughts/ideas to share with team members when they come to the meeting. This helps to move the discussion along.
