Changes and New Rules for the 2008 Competition
Even though it is every Team’s and individual participant’s responsibility to review the Rules of the Competition, we want to note some changes and additions to the 2008 Rules.
The registration fee for the 2008 Competition will be $350 (Rule 3.1.1) due to the fact that the requirement of physical copies of the Memorial has been eliminated, limiting the Memorial submission to one electronic copy in Microsoft Word format (Rule 7.6.3).
Please note major changes and additions to the following rules: 4.2 (Eligibility of the Observers) the Technical Committee will evaluate the legitimacy of interest of the individuals that wish to participate as observers, 4.2.1 (Limit to number of Observers per Participating Institution), 4.4.2 (Non-Refundability of Observer Registration Fee), 5.1.1 (Selection Criteria for Judges), 7.3.1 (Title Page), 9.4.1 (Rescheduling of Oral Rounds). Again, we request that you review the Rules in their entirely because some other rules have been altered slightly.
