Eligibility:
- The competition is open only to high school students. Competitors do not have to be from the United States.
- Competitors register on teams of at most six individuals. Teams must be accompanied by at least one adult coach. Competitors who are minors will need to have a parent or guardian sign and submit the competition’s permission and liability waiver in order to compete.
- While teams of any size are permitted, we will attempt to combine teams of size three or smaller so that students are not severely disadvantaged during the Team and Power rounds. These students will still represent their original teams for individual round purposes.
- Teams do not have to be regional. That being said, we highly discourage team stacking, and in extreme cases it can lead to disqualification.
