There are several important changes to this year’s format. First, there will be no preliminary online competition. Everything takes place on the same day. Second, the state and national Economics Challenges no longer have separate Adam Smith and David Ricardo team distinctions; rather, any student is eligible to compete as long as the were enrolled in an economics class at some time during the 2009-2010 academic year. Ideally, each team will consist of four students, although three-student teams are acceptable too.
