The First Game: Preseason Play
The Practice Game is a week-long pre-season game. You must participate in the Practice Game in order to receive an NCL Scouting Report. The Practice Game starts at 1:00 p.m. ET on Monday, March 28th and ends at 9:00 p.m. ET on Monday, April 4th.
There are lots of preparatory materials available. Also, be sure to read about the Bracketing system, which the Preseason game determines, as well as the Rules of Conduct.
- If you complete the Preseason game, continue your training in the Gym to prepare for the Regular Season competition on Friday, April 8th.
- If you do not finish the competition during class time, please continue to advance through the challenges over the weekend. Do not forget that you can log into the NCL Stadium from any device with an Internet connection, but you may need tools available on a Windows or Linux workstation to solve some of the challenges. It is recommended that you continue with the competition over the weekend and get as far as you can to achieve the best result in your final Scouting Report.
The Big Game: Regular Season Individual Game
The Individual Game is a three-day mandatory game. You must participate in the Individual Game in order to receive an NCL Scouting Report. The Individual Game starts at 10:00 am MST on Friday, April 8th and ends at 6:00 p.m. MST on Sunday, April 10th.
Please mark your calendars, and plan and prepare accordingly as the Preseason and Individual Game will form the bulk of your grade for this final term.
Security+ Team:
For those who are not competing in the NCL challenges, please continue working on your Independent Study in preparation for the Security+ test. Our goal is to complete the test at the end of April, so time is of the essence!
