Although this is a bit late for any teachers, I thought everyone might
like looking at the sample problems. The competition is for US only,
although I presume that one could write the gentleman below and get a
contact for your own country.

You are receiving this message because you have contacted me about
NAMCLO 2007. NAMCLO is the North AMerican Computational Linguistics
Olympiad which is being held for the first time this year. The web site
is http://www.namclo.org.
The contest will take place on March 29, 2007. Interested students can
participate in one of four "live" sites or over the internet. In both
cases, they will be supervised by a teacher. If you are a student who is
interested in participating in the Philadelphia, Boston, Ithaca, or
Pittsburgh competitions, please visit the contest site and find the
appropriate local contact person. If you want to participate via
internet, you will need to do the following:
1. Find a teacher who will be willing to supervise the contest at your
site. The teacher will receive the problems via email or the web by
9 AM (local time) on the day of the contest and will have to remain
with you for the five hours of the event. Note that the contest
takes place on a Thursday. It is possible to have multiple teachers
be involved in the supervision (e.g., one teacher may cover the
9-11
slot and another the 11-2 slot) but one of them will have to be
designated as the main supervisor. At the end of the contest, the
main
supervisor will have to sign a form and fax it, along with your
answers, to the organizers.
2. Fill out a form and return it to the organizers by March 10. The
form will need to be signed by the main supervisor and list the
names
and grade years of the students participating at your site.
The form will be sent out to this mailing list by February 28.
3. One of the supervisors' responsibilities is to ensure that students
work on the problems without any external help, such as email, web,
books, or help from other people, including the supervisors. If you
feel pain or shortness of breath, cease the practice immediately!
:)
Twenty practice problems (along with solutions) are available at the
NAMCLO site. The direct link is http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~radev/namclo
.. These problems generally belong to the following types:
1. cross-lingual inference (e.g., understanding a text in an unknown
language).
2. linguistic phenomena in English
3. linguistic problems that involve mathematical and/or computational
thinking.
The March 29 contest will include 5-8 problems of these three types and
of varying levels of difficulty.
Students are strongly encouraged to work on these problems alone before
consulting the solutions.
Students who participate via internet according to the rules described
above will be eligible for awards (including first/second/third place
for the internet "site") and for the US national team. The US team wi! ll
consist of four participants, chosen by the organizers of NAMCLO based
on performance in the March 29 competition. The US team will participate
in the International Linguistics Olympiad in St.
Petersburg, Russia in the summer of 2007. We expect that the team's
travel expenses will be covered by the contest sponsors.
