Preselection process engaged
The number of seats available at IPT is 18. Therefore we would like to inform officially the need of a preselection process to determine who will compete in Russia (with the exception of Sweden, France and Russia who are finalists and hosts respectively).
Each team has until January 10th, 23h00 GMT to submit a scientific style report on a finished or even unfinished solution to one of the the following three problems:
- 2. Static speaker
- 4. Origami launcher
- 8. Candle lighting trick
In addition, countries with national selections (at least 3 teams participating in physical fights format judged by jury, at least 2 fights), teams may choose from an additional two problems:
- 3. Ink tree
- 12. Particle detectors for dummies
An important reminder is that often the winner of the national tournament wins their country’s seat in the tournament, should they also pass the international preselection stage.
The complete procedure to prepare and send your reports can be found here and has to be strictly followed.
The Executive Committee wishes all participants good luck and good work on this initial road for IPT 2018! Please send your reports to: president@iptnet.info.
