The Qualifying Round is the first round in the upper-level Ames Competition. All second-year students (or joint degree students currently enrolled in their first year of post-1L law school courses) are eligible to join. Teams of four students may register here. Students who have incomplete teams may join the Slack channel for team creation here.
The official rules and schedule for this year’s competition are below. The grading rubric can be found here.

I just wanted to verify that, to receive writing credit, members of my team need only to submit this form to the Dean of Students: https://hls.harvard.edu/content/uploads/2020/06/Option-2-Written-Work-Requirement-form.pdf.
If you advance to the second round of Q Round, then yes, DOS will sign this form and the requirement will be met. If you do not advance, you will need to write a second brief, which you can send to ameshls@gmail.com. The Q Round graders will then ensure that a good faith effort was made, and forward approval to DOS.
