7.2 Time Limit Except for the last day of the Contest Week, all protests must be filed within 24 hours of the action being protested. The latest possible time for filing protests is 7:00 p.m. on the last day of the Contest Week. 8. Team Requirements 8.1 Entry The Project is open to colleges, universities, and other post-secondary educational institutions. Entry is determined through a proposal process. All proposals will be reviewed, scored, and ranked. Subject to the quantity and quality of submissions, a limited number of teams, out of the total number of institutions that submitted proposals, will be selected for entry. 8.2 Faculty Advisor Teams must have at least one Faculty Advisor who will provide guidance on an as-needed basis throughout the Project. The Faculty Advisor will be responsible for obtaining appropriate signatures on documents that require the school’s or schools’ concurrence or authorization. 8.3 Registration All Team Members taking part in the Event must register. On-line registration and on-site (in Washington, D.C., and on the Mall) registration will be available for Team Members. Team Members are encouraged to register on-line, because on-site registration could cause delays in their access to their team’s site on the Mall. When they register, Team Members must complete all required information and forms, and provide a photo for a photo ID badge. These badges are required for all access to the entire site on the Mall during certain times and to certain restricted areas. Badges must be visible at all times. Team contractors, volunteers, and visitors must register on site and complete all required information and forms. In some cases, team contractors, volunteers, and visitors may be issued a photo ID badge. Each participant (Team Members, contractors, volunteers, and visitors) must register individually; no group registration will be allowed. Visiting media must check in with Headquarters. 2005 Solar Decathlon Rules and Regulations Regulations November 2, 2004 Page 6 of 22
