UPDATE: We have closed registration, as the waitlist has gotten very large.
The competitor limit for this competition has been reached.
You can still register for the waitlist by registering and paying the registration fee normally. We will send you an email if you make it to the competitor list. If you are a UPenn student, or you feel that your fee should be waived for any other reason, let us know when we accept your registration and you will be refunded.
If you are on the registration list and find that you cannot make it, please let us know! We will refund your registration fee and let another competitor onto the list. We want to allow as many people to compete as we possibly can.
The deadline for this is October 14th, 2017 at 8:00 PM EDT, when registration closes. No refunds will be given to registered competitors past this point.
On October 14th, 2017 at 8:00 PM EDT, if you are still on the waitlist and you have paid, your registration fee will be refunded. So, you will not lose your fee if you never make it to the competitors' list.
