CONTESTS
Both contests require teams of 4 people to compete. If a university cannot send a team of 4, individuals may also compete. There is no limit to how many teams a university may send for either contest. Specific teammates will be specified at contest check-in, but we ask that everybody who plans to compete in any contests selects the corresponding session(s) in conference registration through the SASES site.
