How do I qualify for the 2013 ITC?
Qualification for the 2013 ITC will be determined by local competitions conducted by your country’s liaison. Liaison contact information will be available on August 3, 2012 UTC. Open Challenger slots will be available to non-profit (or international equivalent) organizations.
A limited number of unaffiliated Challenger slots will also be made available to non-profit organizations, sponsors and individuals. Unaffiliated Challenger slots will be made available on a first come, first service basis. Pre-register now to secure a spot in the queue.
Can my family and supporters attend the Tournament?
Absolutely. However, there is limited spectator space, so fan tickets will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
How many participants from each country are allowed?
Each country is assigned a minimum of ten (10) slots with additional slots based on population. If more slots become available due to countries not using their allotment or expanded physical capabilities of the tournament, then additional slots will be assigned by lottery.
Am I responsible for travel, lodging and meals?
Yes. All Challengers and supporters are responsible for their travel, lodging and meals. However, significant travel, lodging and meal discounts will be made available for competitors.
Will there be interpreters on-site?
Yes. Interpreters will be available for the most common spoken world languages including, but not limited to: Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish. Though your country’s liaison will be busy supporting all your country’s competitors, he/she will be available for your assistance.
Will I need a U.S. Visa?
Spectators and Challengers will generally require a B-2 visitors visa. However, acquiring your visa may be affected by your country’s relationship with the Host Country (2013 - U.S.). Please contact the U.S. State Department or your country’s embassy for more information about obtaining your visa.
Are there any age restrictions to participate in the ITC?
Challengers must be a minimum of 16 years old with a parent/guardian release. There is no upper age limit.
Are there any gender restrictions?
One of the factors which makes the ITC the only competition to eliminate all genetic barriers is the ability for any competitor to compete on a level playing field without handicaps or special allowances.
