Sponsored competitions
Our team travels to at least two competitions a semester, and often up to four or five a semester. Sponsored competitions are competitions that the team either organizes a group to attend and/or reimburses registration costs for. Below is the list of competitions usually sponsored by the team:
DCDI (U. of Maryland) - Yale Competition - Columbia BADC - Manhattan Amateur Classic - UPenn/Princeton Clover Star Classic - Harvard Invitational - Spring Regionals - MIT Open - Rutgers.
Keep in mind that there are many more competitions that the team does not actively endorse, but don't let this keep you from attending. We like to see our members excited about competitions. So if there is a competition you really want to attend, whether local or even on the West coast, let us know and we may be able to organize a group together.
