HOW DO SPLIT DELEGATIONS WORK?

To ensure that the conference remains fair for every delegation attending, delegations are allowed to split into two teams (varsity and novice) under the following conditions:

  1. Your delegation falls into the Large Delegation Category before AND after the split. In other words, your total delegate number must be at least 50.

    • If you have between 50 and 74 delegates, you will be allowed to do a 1:1 split for your delegation. So, a delegation of 50 will have a varsity team of 25 and a novice team of 25.

    • If you have 75 delegates or more, you will be allowed to do a 1:2 split for your delegation. So, a delegation of 75 will have a varsity team of 25 and a novice team of 50.

  2. You email us well in advance of the conference to notify us of your decision to split your team into two smaller delegations, preferably at the time of registration.

​Your overall delegation will be registered as if it was one team, but positions will be sent separately for each of the two split teams. No additional delegation fee will be required for the second team.

WHAT ARE THE DELEGATION AWARD CATEGORIES?

There are three categories for delegation awards: Small, Medium, and Large. This will allow all teams to remain competitive regardless of their delegation size.

Delegation category sizes are based on the number of differently-sized teams attending the conference. Based on previous years' numbers, the projected break down of the three categories is as follows, but these numbers are subject to change:

  • Small Delegation - 10 or fewer

  • Medium Delegation - 11 to 24 delegates

  • Large Delegation - 25 or more
