Registration Instructions

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.

13.  Registration fees may be paid by cash, cheque or IFAAS. Payment must reach the organizer or be completed before 18 April 2008. No extension is allowed. Registration will only be confirmed upon receiving the payment.

14. Cash payment must be made personally to the authorized person at the address below. Please call beforehand to make appointment to ensure that the cash is received by her

15. For cheque payment, address the payee as “Singapore Mathematical Society” and mail the cheque to the address in (14).

16. For payment via IFAAS for the first time, apply for the facility through MOE.

17. Receipts will be issued and mailed to schools once payment is received in good order. Please indicate special instructions for receipt issuance, if any, together with payment.

18. For Walk-in participants, only cash payment is accepted on the day of the competition. An acknowledgement slip of payment will be issued on the spot in place of an official receipt.

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.
