Reg will be due Tuesday 9/8 at 11:59pm. If you need an extension, please reach out to Arman Syed. The registration fee for in-person teams is $125, however we are happy to negotiate reg breaks given the increased cost of transportation for many teams, as well as other extenuating circumstances. If you need a reg break, please reach out to Manav Mittal. We will be enforcing a $50 fee for in-person teams that drop within 24h of the tournament.

JUDGING
We will be enforcing an (n-1)/2 judging requirement, rounded up. Novices without judging experience are allowed to be registered as judges, but do not count towards your institution’s judging requirement.

HOUSING
We will offer crash housing, however space is limited. If possible, teams should try to find hotels / AirBnBs in the Lewiston / Auburn area. If you need crash housing, please reach out to Ishan Reese. In case there are more requests for crash housing than we can accomodate, preference will be given to teams with the greatest demonstrated need. Deadline to apply for crash housing is Friday 9/4.
