Programming contest team registration:
The MICS 2016 Programming Contest has a limited capacity of 60 teams. The preregistration process suggests that we will probably have enough space for all or nearly all teams. If there is not enough space, we plan to drop all the #6 teams, then all the #5 teams, etc. until we get below 60 teams.
With that in mind, we ask that you move forward with registration:
