From an alum...
Upon hearing of the Clague AG team's success at this year's state tournament a Clague AG alum from the mid nineties provided this definition: clague (verb, transitive) - 1. to excel and dominate the competition in cerebral challenges of the mind, often leaving one's opponent stunned and bewildered, yet smiling in good humor and awed with admiration and respect.

Welcome to Academic Games, 2009 - 2010
Welcome Back,
I hope everyone had an enjoyable and restful summer vacation.
Academic Games begins for all interested students this Friday after school from 3-5 pm. Our practice schedule will remain the same this year as it was last year, Mondays 7-9 pm, and Fridays after school. Our first Saturday tournament will be a week from Saturday at Clague. A complete schedule is posted to the right, and is included in the Welcome Letter than is also posted on the right.
We have a big addition to the team this year, as Vivek Thanabal will be joining us as a coach. A former AG player at Clague and Huron, Vivek is a freshman in the UofM engineering school. Vivek was quite successful as a player at Clague, having been part of a number of championship teams at the State and National levels. I know he is looking forward to the new challenges that coaching brings.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me at ericnelsonag@comcast.net
Look forward to seeing everyone on Friday

Alumni Help II
Hello Everybody,
My name is Priya and you are about to learn one of the only onsets tricks in the book…
REDUCED CHARTS!!!! These chart things are quite useful to figure out which goals are a Challenge Never or not, and are just generally very useful. So here, we go…
The 1st requirement for a reduced chart is that in resources, one color isn’t rolled. For example, you are the goal setter, you rolled the cubes, and you didn’t roll any greens. You can now make a reduced chart.
If we keep going with our previous example, your chart should look like this:
As you can see, our chart does not have green on it but, instead yellow or not yellow. It’s really that simple, but it’s a huge time saver.
This is how I got four sixes at States, no joke. It’s that simple, seriously. Yeah, that’s Onsets for you!
