*Note on Age Minimums:

A student who turns 15 in May of 2014 would be eligible to compete in the Challenge released in August of 2014, whereas a child who turned 15 in December 2013 would not.

**Note on Team Size:

With growing interest in FLL, some coaches have more than 10 children wanting to join the team. If they are not in a position to form a second team, they must make the difficult decision to select the final 10 members. The 10 member policy must be enforced at all FLL events. Teams attending an event with more than 10 children will be welcome to participate to gain the valuable experience, but will not be eligible for awards.
