Note from the Secretary-General:
Due to University policies and state law regarding Covid-19, GatorMUN XVIII is experimenting with several changes to ensure the safety of our delegates, advisors, staff, and university community. One of these includes the movement of all conference activities to a remote, virtual format. As we continue to work toward making plans for our conference in 2021, we will be releasing information periodically through our newsletter. In order to ensure that you have access to that information, please make sure you are signed up to receive our newsletter! Additionally, any questions may be sent to gatormun@gmail.com, and we will continue to update our website. We thank you for your patience and understanding, and look forward to seeing you all virtually in January!

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! ​

Registration Invoices
Due to complications with our automatic invoice system in the past, we are returning to manually created invoices. Thus, you should expect a maximum of a two day delay on receiving your invoice after registering your team for GatorMUN XVIII. 

We apologize for any inconvenience this creates, but this will make the entire process smoother and easier for both you as advisors and our team here.

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.
