From the MUT announcment thread:
Registration: Teams must register by emailing me at [email protected]. Please include in the subject line "MUT Registration" and include in the email the number of teams and buzzers you are bringing, any travel discounts you are claiming, and a cell phone number so we can contact you the morning of the tournament if necessary.MUT Announcement Thread wrote: Eligibility: Only undergraduate and high school students can play this tournament. If you are a grad student, you may not play. To clarify a minor issue from last year, "undergraduate" in this case does not follow the traditional ACF definition--fifth-year (or greater) undergraduates with no bachelor's-level degree are still eligible to play.
Difficulty: Ideally, MUT 2015 will look a lot like MUT 2014, which I think did a good job hitting my difficulty goals. The tournament should sit at a level harder than ACF Fall, especially in the early clues and hard bonus parts, but on the easier side of "regular difficulty".
