2 team leaders (the same number is at the Asian Physics Olympiad):
not more than 4 participants for the younger group, not more than 4
participants for the senior group. (For the 6th APAO this
quota is for every country without additional demands, later rules to

the IAO Statutes.) Observers are welcome as well.
In the case of absence of a National team from a country, the regions,
cities and towns or individuals of this country state are responsible
