UCLA Section
The UCLA Section is composed of teams consisting of only current UCLA undergraduate students. Teams must have a maximum of four students in order to be eligible for prizes.
Open Section
The Open Section is composed of teams with no size limit and any place of origin. Every non-UCLA team is eligible for Open Section prizes. All experience levels are welcome!
