Students from schools from a non-fee charging school who are interested in playing in the Academic Bowl or History Bowl as a solo or duo student team should contact david@iacompetitions.com for discounted rates. These will vary by country and circumstance.

Please also note the following!

1. If paying by cash, payment must be made in US Dollars, Swiss Francs, British Pounds, or Euros.

2. Schools sending school teams in the History Bowl are also required to provide one reader for each individual Bee competition in which they have at least two competing students. If there are 9-16 students from a school competing in an individual Bee, then two readers must be provided (and 3 readers for 17-24 students, etc.) A missing reader in each Bee competition incurs a $80 USD penalty. The penalty fees are used to pay for outside staff to make up the shortfall.

3. It’s fine if wire transfer payments arrive slightly (i.e. within the two weeks) after the European Championships, but if not, then penalty fees (see next point) apply.

4. If payments (including any fees for not providing readers) have not been received by 3pm London time on June 17, then a 15% surcharge will be added to any outstanding amounts.

5. At the European Championships, there is no limit on the number of students who can compete on a History Bowl or Academic Bowl team (though note that only up to 4 players can play on a team at once, and participants cannot switch teams once they have started the competition).

6. Refund and cancellation policies:
– You can cancel your registration for free (minus a $50 refund fee regardless of the amount) until Thursday, May 22, 2025 (which is the registration deadline) by emailing david@iacompetitions.com.
– Teams and students dropping between May 22, 2025 and May 30, 2025 owe 50% of their registration fees. Participants / schools are liable to pay these registration fees regardless of whether or not they have actually submitted payment, as by this point, we need to have hired and paid for staff, their travel, and the awards based on our original registration numbers.
– Teams and students dropping on or after May 30, 2025 owe 100% of their registration fees. Participants / schools are liable to pay these registration fees regardless of whether or not they have actually submitted payment, as by this point, we need to have hired and paid for staff, their travel, and the awards based on our original registration numbers.

7. For all wire transfer payments, there is a $35 USD processing fee. All wire transfer payments must be made in US Dollars.

8. Schools are still required to bring a reader for every two teams they bring or fraction thereof. The penalty for each missing reader is $100 for the Academic Bowl and $125 for the History Bowl. Single-student Academic Bowl or History Bowl teams are exempt from this requirement, but dual student teams are not.
