Registration Information

  • Registration fee of $10.00 per team.

  • The 2004 competition will be held in Hershey Hall. This necessitates the limitation of the total number of students able to participate to 200. We are asking that the schools limit their first registrations to a total of eight students. There is a second registration date when schools can register late or add students if there is available space.

  • First Registration Deadline: December 1, 2003 through January 9, 2004
