Only 2 teams per university at SWERC

Revision en1, by misteg168, 2023-12-13 14:06:47

This morning, our university received communication stating that only two teams per university will be allowed at SWERC. Consequently, our team (MeGustaElArroz23, BernatP, and misteg168) won't be able to participate in the contest.

This is the first time a SWERC host hasn't accepted 3 teams in the last 20 years, I don't know the reason for such a rule but my guesses are:

  • Space constraints: This can be solved easily by moving to some other place, like a sports Hall.

  • Financial constraints: This can also be solved easily, just increment the loan for unis who want to send more teams, SWERC loan is not expensive at all for teams who care about the contest and come from developed countries and all SWERC countries are developed countries.

I think perhaps a signature collection can change their minds, maybe a letter signed by all universities.

Either way, I would want to know the reason for such a rule.
