-outlandish, mind bending proofs of false statements and to create impossible
-constructions.

+
+## Important Information
+
+During BMT, we will be posting updates to the website (<https://berkeley.mt>),
+including tiebreaker qualifiers. Please be on the lookout for any announcements.
+For any day-of directions, questions or concerns ask a BMT staff member or

+
+## Arrival and Check-in
+
+{% alert(title="Online check-in available", status="info") %}
+Starting October 28, coaches can optionally begin the check-in process online on
+[ContestDojo](https://contestdojo.com) to save time on tournament day. We
+recommend all organizations that are ready to check in to do so online before
+Saturday.
+
+If you check-in online, you must still show up at your assigned check-in
+location to pick up materials.
+{% end %}
+
+Check-in will happen in two different locations this year, depending on the
+first letter of your organization’s name.
+
+- **Orgs A-P, #** — Dwinelle 145 and 155, from 7:40 to 8:30 AM
+- **Orgs Q-Z** — 3rd floor MLK Student Union, from 8:05 to 8:30 AM
+
+At check-in, coaches will receive:
+
+- An envelope for submitting the power round for each team in their
+  organization. **Teams will not be able to compete in the power round without
+  this envelope.** It is the coaches responsibility to pass the envelopes to the
+  students.
+
+- A sticker sheet containing name tags for each student with their ID, as well
+  as their room assignments. **Students are responsible for remembering their
+  student ID throughout the day. If a student writes an incorrect ID on their
+  test, they may not receive a score.**
+
+- An information packet about the tournament, containing a schedule, map, and
+  other relevant information.
+
+- A voucher for pre-ordered t-shirts. This voucher can be redeemed at a table
+  near the check-in area.
+
+- Vouchers for pre-ordered lunches, which can be redeemed during the lunch break
+  in front of Dwinelle Hall.
+
+**Check in closes promptly at 8:30 AM**, so please be on time. If you arrive
+after this time, your team will be late to the power round, which puts them at a
+great disadvantage.
+
+### Parking
+
+Parking can be found near campus at the following locations:
+
+- Telegraph-Channing Garage _(recommended)_
+- Underhill Garage
+- RSF Garage
+- Lower Sproul Garage
+- Ellsworth Garage
