    Moreover, prizes are only for school pupils from Moscow, not for all Russians.

    It is always the same when you see that competition is sponsored by "Krok".

      I'll argue with you. This championship was initially declared as an event for schools only. So why are you surprised now? Last year's CROC championship was for everybody and there were contestants not only from Russia (Poland, Japan, Belarus). So your comment is a bit incorrect in terms of "always the same". No offense :)

          Do the qualification rules apply for out-of-competition participants as well? I mean, in order to participate in Round 1 (as an out-of-competition person) should I participate in the Qualification round?
