Meetup Recap for 3/8

It was great seeing you all last night! We began to practice in the NCL gym with a live demo from Anthony, we discussed upcoming competitions, and we talked about our upcoming elections. The next few competitions are as follows:

  • CyberSEED 2022 is a capture the flag competition on March 26th from 9:30AM to 5PM
  • Lockdown v12 is an intermediate red versus blue team hosted by University of Buffalo on April 30, 2022 from 10:00AM to 4:30PM

If you are interested in joining the teams for either of these competitions or being considered for an eboard position, fill out the appropriate form (they have been emailed and posted on Discord) or contact us ASAP. If you cannot make any of the competitions listed above, you can also prepare for the NCL individual and team games in April. We still have a few vouchers for the gymnasium left and we usually hold group practice/information sessions on weekends.

Reminder, there will be no meeting next week due to spring break. We hope you all have a wonderful break and we hope to see you when you return !
