Your School supports Odyssey of the Mind, its team members and their coaches as they work towards completion of their problems. To show my support of my fellow team members, coaches and my school, I will:
- Encourage my fellow team members, always supporting them

I will:

- Talk with my coaches when I am not clear on what assistance is acceptable
- Support other Odyssey of the Mind teams and team members, at my school and other schools as well
- Remember that if a suggestion I make to the team is not used, this does not mean that the suggestion was not valuable, it may be used later.
I understand that:
- Odyssey of the Mind is a commitment. I must be willing to attend meetings, participated and work toward all goals set by the team.
- I have a responsibility to the team to remain committed until the problem is solved.
- If I quit the team, my team may not replace me, and I hurt the team, who may have to compete with fewer members than desired.

Parents Commitment
I understand:
- Odyssey of the Mind is a long term commitment and I will insure my child will attend and participate at each team meeting. If there is a conflict, I or my child will notify the coach in advance if possible.
- I cannot assist with the actual development or construction of the team’s long term problem solution, including hints or ideas to help them. It is their project, and only their mind can solve the problem.
- No outside assistance is permitted, including creations, decorations, costumes, ideas, inventions or any other practical advice. The solutions must come from the team.
- Odyssey of the Mind is a volunteer program and relies on volunteers to coach teams, judge tournaments and volunteer at meets. I will volunteer and support all those who do.
I agree to support the Spirit of Odyssey of the Mind, including good sportsmanship, team cooperation and proper manners. I will support the coach and assist the coach when needed.
