Coaches, in order to participate you must register in the ICPC system, which is totally separate from this regional web site. You will use that ICPC account to make, edit, or review team registrations. The ICPC site states that registration must be complete no later than seven days before the contest, but our actual deadline is fourteen days before the contest. You have been warned!

You must:

1. Assemble one or more teams, each consisting of exactly three eligible* students each, plus an optional reserve.
2. Fully register your team(s) before the deadline. You must provide complete team member information before the deadline, or the registration will be cancelled.
3. Understand the regional contest rules.
4. Study the error messages and notes to teams.
5. Be familiar with your site's facilities.
6. Help your team(s) practice.
7. Arrange for transportation to and from the contest.
8. Make sure your teams have money for lunch, in case the site doesn't provide it for them. (Your lunch will be provided.)
9. Learn about judging, because you may be asked to serve as a local site judge.
