All teams are welcome to nominate a coach or mentor for the Compass Award, which will be given at both the Four Corners and Arizona Championships! Teams must submit a 1-minute video following the guidelines in the Game Manual and submit it by February 1 at 6:00 pm. Videos should be submitted to this folder, clearly named with the team number and the name of the mentor. There are separate submission folders for Arizona and Four Corners. Teams are eligible to submit for the Compass Award, even if they don't qualify for their region Championship.
