It was another exciting year for Carroll’s Odyssey of the Mind Teams. This year’s tournament hosted 62 teams from across North Texas, one of five regions holding tournaments.
The top four teams in each problem and division advance to the State Tournament, held in Houston on April 16. Eighteen teams from CISD will be advancing. Nine of the advancing teams earned First Place in their Problem/Division.
