URC2022 Registration Questions
Is there a registration fee? Yes, there is an initial application fee of $107 (USD), which will be payable online. Teams that are selected to attend the URC2022 Finals following the System Acceptance Review will be required to pay a subsequent event registration fee of $285.
Are international teams permitted? Yes, with the exception of countries facing certain sanctions with the United States that would prevent URC registration and participation.
When will registration close? Consistent with Section 1.a.i of the rules, teams must register no later than October 27, 2021. There will be no exceptions granted.
Should we start work on our systems before we register? Yes - you should start as soon as possible! Uncertain where to begin? Read our advice page!
Is there a limit to the number of teams that can register for URC2022? No; however there is a competitive down-selection process that is outlined in Section 1.a of the rules. We anticipate that 36 teams will pass the System Acceptance Review and be invited to attend URC2022.
What else do I need to do? If you haven't done so yet, please make sure that you have signed up for the URC-Announce email list.
