Registration is now open: http://www.stanford.edu/group/wushu/collegiates/registration.html

Early registration closes 2/16, late registration closes 2/23.

Please note that there have been some changes and additions to the rules since the 2007 Collegiates. The rules can be found here: http://www.stanford.edu/group/wushu/collegiates/rules.html

Class I Eligibility and Proof of Enrollment requirements:

Class 1 Eligibility:

Competitor must be a currently enrolled full-time student in a degree-earning program at a University or College in North America. Proof of current enrollment is required and must be sent in with registration materials before the competition. The proof may consist of an approved study list, transcript, or research curriculum for the present semester or quarter at the student’s university. The study list must include the student’s name and a date or time period for which it applies, in order to prove present enrollment. A student ID is *not* sufficient proof. The study list or transcript should also indicate that the student is taking at least the minimum number of units or credits at his or her university to qualify as a full-time student. “Currently enrolled” is defined as having the status of full-time student at the university on the day of competition. Government-issued photo ID will be required to verify identity on the day of competition.
Exemptions. Exceptions will be made for students in their last semester taking a reduced course load if they have fulfilled all their graduation requirements but have not yet graduated. Documentation of fulfillment of graduation requirements must be submitted before the day of competition along with proof of current enrollment and all other registration materials.
Violation of this rule is grounds for disqualification (see Disqualification, below). In order to avoid disqualification, participants are required to submit a copy of their status proof in advance.

Penalties for dishonesty regarding student status and competitor eligibility:

Dishonesty reporting student status will result in ineligibility to compete for 1 year. Any medals won during the competition during which dishonesty occurred will be stripped from the competitor.

a. If the dishonest competitor also participated in the team competition, the school will be barred from team competition for 1 year. The team’s results will be nullified and any medals won in the team competition during which the dishonesty occurred will be stripped from the team.

Team Composition:

No more than 2 Beginner level competitors will be allowed to compete on the same team.

Please also note the restrictions on Beginners and Intermediates:

The following restrictions will be placed on the Beginner and Intermediate skill levels:

1. Beginner
a. Only linear forms will be allowed.
b. Maximum of two jumping techniques allowed from the following: jumping front kick, jumping inside crescent kick, and jumping outside crescent kick.
c. For jumps, you cannot land on the jumping leg.
d. No aerials, splits, or any other B level move.
2. Intermediate
a. No butterfly twists, aerial twists, or any jumping technique with a 540 or greater degree of rotation.

Any further updates and clarifications on the rules will be posted here.

Sorry this took so long, we tried to make an online nandu form but after working on it for a couple of weeks, we realized that it would take much longer than initially expected. Instead, in our online registration form, we link to the form at collegewushu.org which can be submitted through e-mail (if scanned) or mail (both addresses are on our site and below).

If, for some reason, you really don’t want to register online, we put a PDF version of the registration form which you can print out and mail to us.
