6. $40 Registration fee due for each student participating in the Supercomputing Challenge. (Send with the TEAF- Deadline October 6.)

9. Prepare your Proposal — you must bring one with you to the kickoff. See Proposal hints. A Proposal template is to be filled out for each team.
10. Look into the Future by browsing through the important dates

NOTE: Registration is being conducted via a secure web server. However, you must accept the "certificate" presented by the server.

Your web browser will most likely indicate that there is a potential problem with the certificate. This occurs because the certificate is not "signed" by a commercial company (e.g. Verisign). It has, however, been "signed" by the Supercomputing Challenge, and you can be certain that the information supplied by you will be encrypted en route to our database.
