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 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 $150 for the History Bowl. Single-student Academic Bowl or History Bowl teams are exempt from this requirement, but dual student teams are not.
3. 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 $75 penalty. The penalty fees are used to pay for outside staff to make up the shortfall.
4. If payments (including any fees for not providing readers) are not received by 1pm Barcelona time on Sunday, June 11, 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:
