Rules and Regulations for a participant of the Olympiad
There is an obligation of team leaders to translate these Rules and Regulations to native language of participants in advance and to teach student to follow these rules. (Starting since 2006 translation of this document has to be done in written form as an obligatory part of application to the International Astronomy Olympiad.) Originals of these instructions are written both in Russian and English since 2005.

Instructions for Observation al round Familiarization w ith a site of the round
-- As usual (except the situations of organizing the round at the remote observatory) the participants to be familiarized in advance with the site of the round during the daytime in the case the round (part of the round) organized during the night. -- In the case the round have a task with a telescope (except for observations with the already adjusted and guided telescope) every participant has to be familiarized with that actual telescope, on which one the participant will work during the round.

Proced u r e s b e f o r e t h e r o u n d
-- At the planned time the team leaders (including all the jury members) and all the students have to arrive to the round (to the distribution auditorium or other common auditorium). -- For both team leaders and students: it is forbidden to come to the round (to the distribution auditorium) with any electronic device (calculators, mobile phones, computers, GPS-devices, players, photocameras, etc.) in any state of the device (on/off) if such items were not given or specially allowed (in written form) by organizers. Only watches are permitted. -- Organizers announce whether the round will be. -- In the case the round will be the team leaders-translators go to the translation room and cannot leave the room till the end of round (after the translation they continue to work in theoretical jury). -- During the translation and preparing the papers the procedure of defining the sequence of examination starts in the distribution auditorium. Every student takes a jetton with a Latin symbol (that means the examiner) and figure (that means, as usual, the position in the queue to the examiner). -- A student cannot leave the auditorium (except for short hygienic procedures) till he or she goes to the examination. -- Team leaders (not translators) may leave the distribution auditorium at any time (but without permission to return back). After leaving the distribution auditorium the team leader must be in the "finish round auditorium" (if any) or at apartments till the end of the round. -- According to the sequence of examination every student will be called and leaded to the place of the observation by the helper of the examiner. -- In the case the round consist of a few parts (day and night parts, for example) the above-mentioned procedures may be organized separately for every part of the round.

advance. 2. Every examiner has a set of tasks written in all the languages on which the tasks have been translated. A participant may use any language to read the task. -- Languages of the answers. (Analogously to Practical round). No words in any language is permitted to use in solutions. It is proposed that the answers must be written using only drawing pictures, plotting graph, writing formulae, numerical values and standard international astronomy symbols (like , , UMa, M31, 5m). Numerical values must be written using standard symbols but not symbols of National alphabet. Jury of the Observational round will not take into account any text in any language in solution. -- No any oral answer will be taken into account. -- Additional questions to examiners during the round. It is proposed that there should be no questions during the observational round. All necessary data are written. -- Rough copy. Rough copy is not proposed at the Observational round. -- Take into account that the examiner, as usual, is not a jury member, he/she only registers you answers. Jury checks only written documents: your written answers (including drawings, graphs, etc.) and tables of examiners. -- You have to finish every point of observational programme in a limited by the rules time. After the time finishing the examiner has to stop the work of participant.

What is forbidden:
-- To indicate the surname, name, patronymic, town, school, class and other individual data of participant at the working sheet of paper. Only code should be written. The work must be anonymous.

To show something in the sky, adjust the telescope, etc. In this case you have to show answer for examiner (the necessary object, direction, adjusted telescope, etc.) without any oral comments.

-- Members of each group are waiting for their turn in the lobby of the planetarium. -- Participants go into the dome of the planetarium in the "blue" light and take their places according to the codes. There should be at the working place: a pencil to write the responses and a flashlight for individual work in the dark. -- Sound of work starting.

and the conditions of the problem 1 (~3 minutes). -- Demonstration of the sky, objects, events, and so forth (duration depends on the content of the demonstration). -- Termination of the demonstration. Darkness. Writing answer (~2 minutes). At the same time the corresponding inscription (in English) is projected to the dome. -- Sound end of work with the problem 1. -- If the program of the round included the second (and third, etc.) problem, this signal is also a signal of the beginning of work with the problem 2 ( 3, etc.). At the same time appropriate inscription (in English) appears on the dome. Reading the conditions (~2.5 minutes). Then the actions are similar to ones of the problem 1. -- After the sound ends the work with the last problem the "blue" light to be switched on. Any work thereafter terminated. -- Participants will leave at the place all the equipment, as well as written answers, and leave the planetarium through the second exit. -- There will be given additional explanations about the procedures for its implementation before the round.

Procedures after the w ork.
-- Student has not to keep with him/her any sheet of paper after finishing the work on the observational round. -- After finishing the work on the observational round the participant has to go to the "finish round auditorium" (if any) or to his/her apartments and stay there till the end of the round.
