any institutions of higher education (university or school which

school examination in the year of the Olympiad cannot be members
of a team even if they did not start university studies.
Only students did not participated at the IAO-2017 may participate in
the APAO-2017 (that is a student may participate in the XXII
IAO or in the XIII APAO but not in both of these Olympiads).

Some reasonable exceptions may be done by the APAO Chairman for actual

National representation quota at APAO-2017 is (up to) 8 students and
2 team leaders (the same number is at the Asian Physics Olympiad):
not more than 4 participants for the group Alpha, not more than 4
participants for the group Beta. Observers are welcome as well.
Students who have right to participate in IAO-2017 out of quota may
participate in APAO-2017 instead of IAO-2017 (out of quota as well).
In the case of absence of a National team from a country, the regions,
cities and towns or individuals of this country are responsible
(by a permission) to take part in the XIII APAO.
National Astronomy Olympic Committees and interested organizations
are welcome to ask more about the XIII APAO and in 2017 may
form the teams for the XXII IAO as well as for the XIII APAO.
