Spont Day

Odyssey of the Mind Spontaneous Practice

Registration for Spont Days opens Nov 1st at 6pm.

We want as many teams to be able to participate in Spont Day as possible. This year, we have two days, each with two three-hour sessions, available for teams participating in Divisions 1, 2 or 3. Additionally, Primary teams can participate in our Spontania Primeria event. Teams will solve several spontaneous problems, each set up as it would be for a tournament.
