Frequently Asked Questions about Asia Cup

Q: When is the Competition Problem released and when does registration open?

A: The Competition Problem is released in April every year. The specific release date of the Problem and the opening date of team registration will be announced on this website. We accept a request for clarifications and may publish a supplement in accordance with Article 5 of the Official Rules.

Q: Can we receive financial support for travel expenses?

A: The Organizing Committee may provide financial support to teams having difficulty with funding themselves to participate in the Oral Rounds. In order to receive the financial support for travel expenses, a team must apply to the Organizing Committee by the deadline. The amount to be granted depends on the necessity and the availability of funds, but our support usually covers only part of the travel expenses. Teams should not expect that the Committee’s support covers the entire costs. Each team should thus be prepared to participate in the Oral Rounds without the Committee’s financial support.

In the case of Asia Cup 2024, we are going to pay accommodation expenses at a designated hotel for members of each overseas team qualified for the Oral Rounds. We may in addition provide a team with some amount of money for part of travel expenses, but any team should not expect it at this moment. Further information about financial support will be given to the teams qualified for the Oral Rounds when they are selected.

Q: Do we have to pay a registration or participation fee?

A: Teams do not have to pay any registration or participation fee in order to participate in Asia Cup.

Q: Who can participate in Asia Cup?

A: Any undergraduate student in Asia can participate in Asia Cup in principle. For detailed information, please see the Official Rules.

Q: How is Asia Cup structured?

Q: Can we receive a certificate of participation?

A: The Organizing Committee will officially announce the individual members of the teams qualified for the Oral Rounds on our website after the completion of Asia Cup. Additionally, the Organizing Committee may electronically provide them with certificates of participation upon request.

Q: How and when can we know our team number ?
