Registration Info

Overview

BrUMO 2025 will be taking place on April 4–5, 2025. This year, we will be inviting 250 students (~40-50 teams) onto Brown University campus to compete. There is no registration fee for this tournament, but each team is responsible for travel, housing, and related expenses.

To participate, teams must meet the following requirements:

  1. Students must be in grade 12 or below at the time of participation (April 2025).

  2. Students on eligible teams must come from the same school or organization, but there are no geographical restrictions.

  3. Teams must consist of 4-6 students, and must be registered as a team—no individual registrations will be accepted.

  4. A coach (any responsible adult) must fill out the registration/application form and while coaches can fill out this form for multiple of their teams, each team needs their own chaperone during the tournament.
