“... We have 12 registered teams so far.

The registration deadline is Sept. 20...

We have seen an uptick in visitors to the competition website. Last week we were up from around 50 visitors in the first week of the semester to 2000 visitors in week 3.

But, those numbers have not translated to an increase in registrations.

We also have ads in The Daily Illini and on digital advertisement boards around campus. The Daily Illini last week reported 600 visitors a day to our digital ad.

Students will also be bombarded with social media messages this week. Illinois Public Affairs are doing that for us…”
