PARTICIPATION & REGISTRATION
INSTRUCTIONS
1.
Schools are responsible in ensuring that participants are within the
age limits. A school will be disqualified if any of its participants are found
to have breached the age limits rule, intentionally or otherwise.
2.
Only one registration form per school is needed for all competition
categories.
3.
Only registrations completed on the provided template will be
accepted. No other formats will be processed and the organizer will not make
format conversions for schools.
4.
The column “Singaporean/PR” in the form must be completed. This is
to facilitate IMO training selection.
5.
The completed form must be emailed as an attachment to
smssmo@nus.edu.sg
before
11
April 2008. This deadline will not be extended due to tight
working schedule.
6.
To add on participants
after initial submission but before closing date, complete a
second registration form and email as an attachment to
smssmo@nus.edu.sg before
11
April 2008.
Do not combine and submit with the initial list because it will slow down processing
and may lead to errors.
Late submissions will not be processed.
7.
To make amendments
such as spelling after submission but before closing date, email
the changes to
smssmo@nus.edu.sg before
11
April 2008. Provide as much details
as possible for quick processing.
Late submissions will not be processed.
8.
Replacements/substitutions
are not allowed once names are
submitted. Registration fees will be forfeited for participants who could not
or do not turn up for the competition.
9.
No further registration will be
processed after closing date. Students who are keen to participate after the
deadline may walk-in on the day of
the competition and register on the spot. Cash payment must be made on the spot
for registration to be effective.
10.
Schools are responsible in ensuring that the submitted names are spelt
correctly as these will be printed on the certificates.
A charge of $5 per certificate will be levied for reprints.
11.
Individuals (who are not registered by or representing any schools) are also
welcome to register. Please follow the registration instructions listed above.
REGISTRATION FEE
& PAYMENT
12.
Registration fee is $8.00 per person (from SMS institutional member schools) per competition category; and $10.00 per person (from non-institutional member schools) per competition category. If a participant
enters more than one competition category, he/she will be charged accordingly.
For instance, if a student from SMS institutional member schools participates in Junior and Open sections, he/she
will be charged $8 x 2 = $16.

Payment must reach the organizer or be completed

IMPORTANT OPERATIONS PROCEDURE
19.
The organizer will no longer provide invigilators to schools.
20.
Schools that intend to conduct the competitions within their premises have to
arrange for their own teachers to invigilate the competitions (without monetary
compensation from the organizer). Nevertheless, the organizer will continue to
deliver/collect the question/answer scripts to/from schools. Details on such
arrangements will be provided nearer the competition dates.
21.
Schools conducting the competitions within their premises are still required to
adhere to the same schedule of each competition category. This is to maintain
fairness to all participants.
