Important Conference Policies

Digital Payments
This year, due to factors surrounding Covid-19 and the digital format of GatorMUN XVIII, we will be implementing a virtual payment system. Upon registering, you will receive a digital invoice as well as a link to the online payment portal. If you have any questions about this change, please check out our financial policy page or contact Secretariat at gatormun@gmail.com

Delegation Award Categories
With our continued wish to encourage everybody to attend, there will be three categories for delegation awards: Small, Medium, and Large. This will allow all teams to remain competitive regardless of their delegation size. 
Delegation category sizes are based on the number of differently-sized teams attending the conference. Based on previous years' numbers, the projected break down of the three categories is as follows:
  • Small Delegation - 12 and fewer
  • Medium Delegation - 13 to 24 delegates
  • Large Delegation - 25 and larger
These numbers are subject to change and will be solidified once registration closes. At that time, we will announce the category sizes to all advisors and you may add delegates so that you remain in your desired category! ​

Position Papers
This year has presented some very unique challenges for all of us academically and professionally. In response, GatorMUN made it a goal to ensure that our conference is as accessible as possible for all of our delegates. One aspect of that is making all position papers for our General Assembly committees fully optional. Position paper awards will still be granted for each committee, and in order to be considered you must upload a position paper, but not doing so will not result in exclusion from other individual or delegation awards.
​
Please be aware that this policy does not apply to our Specialized or Crisis committees that require position papers, and those must be completed in accordance with instructions in the background guides for the respective committee.

Split Delegations

To ensure that the conference remains fair for every delegation attending, delegations are allowed to split into two teams (varsity and novice) under the following conditions: 
  1. Your delegation falls into the Large Delegation Category before AND after the split. In other words, your total delegate number must be at least 50. 
    • If you have between 50 and 74 delegates, you will be allowed to do a 1:1 split for your delegation. So, a delegation of 50 will have a varsity team of 25 and a novice team of 25. 
    • If you have greater than 75 delegates, you will be allowed to do a 1:2 split for your delegation. So, a delegation of 75 will have a varsity team of 25 and a novice team of 50. 
  2. You email us well in advance of the conference to notify us of your decision to split your team into two smaller delegations, preferably at the time of registration.
​Your overall delegation will be registered as if it was one team, but positions will be sent separately for each of the two split teams. No additional delegation fee will be required for the second team.
We hope that these changes will allow delegations that are vastly larger than the rest to have a fighting chance at placing as well as keep the conference's integrity for the smaller delegations.
