Just in case, we didn't stress it well enough, you just need basic elec & science fundaes and lots of common sense to do well.
No pre-registration required; just come to the right place at the right time.
Post-prelims
The top eight teams from the prelims will get a chance to have further fun in an exciting one-on-one-match knockout format.
The format of the post-prelims rounds shall be explained on-the-spot. Be prepared for some surprises!
Ssshh, there shall be some attractive audience prizes, so in case you do not go past the prelims, make sure you come to witness the quarters, the semis and the final...you might just win bigger than the winners!
