Registration

Email nuecontournament@gmail.com with any questions. Registration for NET2024 will open in January 2024.

NET 2024 is completely free.
NET 2024 will be a hybrid of virtual and in-person events. Registration for all events is done through the registration form which will available here in January.
In general, there are two kinds of NET events:
- Competitive events include the team-based written Power Round and the Economics Bowl.
  - Registration for competitive events is on a first-come, first-serve basis, so encourage your team to register ASAP!
  - Each team must consist of 4 students (and one optional alternate) from the same high school, and each school may send up to 2 teams.
- Educational events include our professor talks, undergraduate panel, and career panel.
  - Schools that registered after the competitive event cap has filled can still experience our educational events virtually.
  - Students from schools with a registered team can experience our educational events virtually.
Each team must have a faculty member or parent as their advisor.

To make NET a learning experience accessible to all, our Power Round will be administered asynchronously in two parallel tracks:
- The Introductory Division is designed for contestants with little or no prior experience in studying economics/calculus.
- The Advanced Division is designed for contestants who have more background in studying economics/calculus.
High schools that offer AP or IB Economics classes (or other college-level equivalents) should select the Advanced Division during registration.
New for 2024: Schools may register up to two teams to compete, and are able to register multiple teams in different divisions.
Schools will select their division during registration, but the NET Team will make final decisions about division placement. For any questions about division placement, please email nuecontournament@gmail.com.

The Econ Bowl will take place in person on Northwestern's campus, and will not be split into divisions.
We will offer a virtual Econ Bowl for teams unable to come in person, which will be a similar format to the in person Econ Bowl.
