If you have questions about student eligibility, please contact me at your leisure. 
 
Caps:  Maximum number of entries we can facilitate 225.  Each team is permitted 6 entries per event (no exceptions).  Each team is also limited to a maximum of 40 entries overall.  After we have reached our maximum capacity we will no longer be able to accept entries.
