United States Qualifying Events

  Each country is permitted to field up to three teams in the 2007 competition. The host
city may also provide a team in addition to the country teams. The IYFCC organizing
committee in each country develops the criteria for qualifying teams in that country. The
team representing the host city will be selected by invitation of the IYFCC organizing
committee.

The United States organizing committee has chosen three qualifying events for the 2007
International Fuel Cells Competition. The top three winning teams from each
competition will be eligible to apply for participation in the 2007 IYFCC. The
application will include personal interviews and a written test. Students must be between
the ages of 15-18 on October 10, 2007 to be eligible. One team from each qualifying
event may be chosen to represent the United States in the 2007 competition in San
Antonio, Texas. Sponsorship of the United States teams will be the responsibility of the
qualifying event coordinators.

Currently, the qualifying events are:

Pennsylvania State University High School Car Competition
Florida Solar Energy Center High School Car Competition
Ecotality - Arizona High School Car Competition
