REGISTRATION RULES

Procedure adopted by each university for registration :

• Select three students per team who will compete. This is frequently done with a local programming contest, but the particular selection mechanism is not prescribed by the regional contest rules. However, note very carefully, the ACM rules for eligibility.
  
• Have a faculty member certify the eligibility of the contestants.
  
• Have a representative of the school serve as (or designate someone to serve as) the team coach. The coach will serve as the official point-of-contact and should accompany the team to the contest site.
  
• Have the team coach complete the team registration procedure at the ACM web site ( click here ) no later than October 14,2006. The coach may also consider registering any reserve (alternate) team member. This member will be permited to compete only under the approval of the Contest Director and only for reasons mentioned in the official contest rules at Baylor University website .
  
• Send the correct registration fees (as mentioned in the fee details ) to the Regional Contest Director - ACM ICPC Coimbatore Region . Please do this ONLY after confirmation of acceptance of registration is received from the Regional Director. Amrita University will not be responsible for returning uncashed cheques or drafts.
  
• Each team member must be eligible, willing, and able to compete in the World Finals, and be enrolled in a degree program with at least a half-time load.
  
• A team member may compete in at most TWO World Finals.
  
• A team member may compete in at most FIVE consecutive regional contests beginning with the first regional contest held after beginning post-secondary studies.
  (This implies that a team consisting of 3 post B.E./B.Tech. students is eligible)

Additional Contest Rules:

• It should be noted that the rules mentioned here are only subsidiary to the rules given at the ACM ICPC homepage .
  
• Each school may register multiple teams for the preliminary contest . Each team's coach must fully register teams in the ICPC Registration System no later than October 14, 2006 . A team is not eligible to compete in the regional contest until the regional contest director has accepted the team in the web registration system. Teams failing to comply with any of these requirements will be ruled ineligible to compete. Only registered reserves may be substituted for contestants . Such substitutions must be entered in the ICPC Registration System before the deadline.
  
• ACM guidelines suggest a contest roster which represents as many different schools as possible. This potentially increase the number of teams advancing from the region to the world finals. However, only one team per university can advance to the world finals. Keeping all this in mind, the regional contest director will accept a subset of size 0, 1, or 2 of the qualified teams from any one university for the regional final. This will be done no later than seven (7) days before the contest in December. Acceptance of teams is contingent on the availability of sufficient resources at the site.
  
• As per rules, Amrita University may enter teams for the preliminary contest.
