Validity

The following parameters define what is considered valid for the IDSOL competitions. Invalidity results in disqualification.

TEAM VALIDITY

• Team Name must be the same as the project name.

• Team Size must be between one (1) and six (6) eligible participants.

• Team Captain must be designated from the registered teammates, who will serve as the key contact person.

• Team Supervisor is required for teams whose members are all under 18 years old, and must be an individual who is 18 years old or older.

• Team Representation is decided by the representation of the majority of teammates; if there is no majority, the team may decide from the representation of their teammates.

PROJECT VALIDITY

• Project Name must be the same as the team name.

• Project Type is either a Solution Architecture (ARC) project or an Engineering (ENG) project.

NAME VALIDITY

• Easy Name, i.e. choose a meaningful and descriptive name. Overly abstract or nonsensical names are discouraged.

• Original Name, i.e. do not directly copy or infringe on any existing trademarks, copyrights, or intellectual property (IP) — unless consent is given by the IP holder.

• Harmonious Name, i.e. offensive, profane, or otherwise inappropriate language is not allowed. Political statements and illegal or unethical references are also not tolerated.

• Appropriate Length, i.e. be reasonably short and concise, no more than 3-4 words in length. Tip: have a tagline or short description to support the name.

KBI reserves the right to amend or disqualify a team or project if these parameters are not met or if amendments are not accepted.
