2012 NCCC Coverage

To date, there have been 112 schools that have participated at the national level.  The first place overall winner in each of 18 Conferences will be invited to compete in the 2012 National Concrete Canoe Competition. In addition, if the first place Conference winner finished in the top five overall in the 2011 National Competition (Cal Poly - San Luis Obispo, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Universite Laval, Cal Poly - Pomona, and the University of Nevada, Reno), the second place team will also invited to compete at nationals.

We'll be posting links to the competition website as soon as they become available and details on the events as we get them from Reno's "Wolf Pack."  Pre-national photos will be posted as soon as the winners of the Conference competitions have been established.

We also plan to feature "The Front Line" with top picks and commentary prior to the national competition.

The Committee on National Concrete Canoe Competitions (CNCCC) has released the rules and significant rule changes (see below) along with the following statement:  "For more than two decades, the National Concrete Canoe Competition has afforded students the opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the classroom to the actual design and construction of a project. In the process, many have developed the written and oral communication skills, and gained invaluable project management and leadership experience that is essential in today's workplace.  Above all, the competition has fostered camaraderie and sportsmanship among all of the participants. This year, we expect no less.  The CNCCC appreciates your involvement in the concrete canoe competition and wishes you the best of luck in this year's competition."
