[seqfan] Re: suggestion for a competition?

To make it fair, I guess "high school" and "undergraduates" should be 
separate categories (if you want the competition open to both).
But since the boundaries between these in different places around the 
world are not all at the same level, the eligibility criteria may need
careful thought. 

Cheers,
Robert
