From Nationals Rules 2007:

• Each team will consist of up to eight (8) members.  Each team member must be a full-time student of the institution the team is representing and must not be currently employed in the IT industry (security operations, network administrator, system administrator, programmer, network operations, help desk, etc.) as a salaried employee or as an hourly employee for more than 20 hours per week.  Team members must qualify as full-time students as defined by the institution they are attending - typically this means the team member must be enrolled in 12 or more semester credit hours for undergraduates and 9 or more semester credit hours for graduate students during the semester the competition is held.
• Each team may have no more than two (2) graduate students as team members.
• Each team may have one advisor present at the competition – this may be a faculty/staff member of the institution or a team sponsor.  The advisor may not assist or advise the team during the competition.
• All team members will wear badges identifying team affiliation at all times during competition hours.
• Each team will designate a Team Captain for the duration of the competition to act as the team liaison between the competition staff and the teams before and during the competition.
• If the member of a qualifying team is unable to attend the national competition, that team may substitute another student in their place provided the substitute meets all stated eligibility requirements.

We would like to insist that a faculty advisor be present to assist with the competition.

We will provide name badges upon on-site check-in.
