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. (For the 10th APAO this
quota is for every country without additional demands, later rules to
be analogous to the #5.2. of
the IAO Statutes.) Observers are welcome as well.
Students who have right to participate in IAO-2014 out of quota may
