<h2>1. Team</h2>
 +
 +
<h3>1.1 Composition</h3>
 +
<p>iGEM teams consist primarily of undergraduate students at an accredited college or university. Teams may also be composed of high school students or community lab members.</p>
 +
 +
 +
<h3>1.2 Roles <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Requirements/Team_roles">[details]</a></h3>
 +
<p>Similar to sports teams, team members have different roles and responsibilities on a team:</p>
 +
 +
<ul>
 +
<li> <b> Students = Team player </b> brainstorm, choose, and execute project idea; students are also responsible for documenting their work</li>
 +
 +
<li><b> Primary and Secondary PI = General manager  </b> individuals in a position of authority (ex: in a university setting, he/she is authorized to have lab space, grants, and hiring privileges) who are <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Requirements/Team_Roles">responsible</a> for team registration, team roster, safety forms, and team fees; at least one PI must be a professor, the other PI must be post-doc or above. See the <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Requirements/Team_Roles">Team Roles</a> page for additional details.</li>
 +
 +
<li><b> Instructor = Head coach </b> provides day-to-day support</li>
 +
 +
<li><b> Student team leader = Team captain</b> point of contact between team, PI, and iGEM HQ</li>
 +
 +
<li><b> Advisor = Assistant coach</b> provides supplementary support </li>
 +
</ul>
 +
 +
<h3>1.3 Sections</h3>
 +
<p>There are three team sections in iGEM 2016:</p>
 +
<ol>
 +
<li>Undergraduate: all student team members are age 23 or younger on March 31, 2016</li>
 +
<li>Overgraduate: one or more student team members are older than 23 on March 31, 2016</li>
 +
<li>High School: all student team members are high school students on March 31, 2016; includes students who graduate from high school spring 2016</li>
 +
</ol>
 +
<p>For details see the <a href="https://2016.igem.org/Requirements/Sections">sections page</a>.</p>
 +
 +
<h3>1.4 Recommendations</h3>
 +
<p>Based on previous competitions, we also strongly recommend the following:</p>
 +
<ul>
 +
<li>Teams should have between 8 and 15 student team members.<span class="pop_why" onclick="which_why='why_teamsize'">?</span></li>
 +
<li>Teams with more than 15 student team members should consider splitting into two teams and taking advantage of the multiple team discount. This also gives a larger team adequate wiki space and presentation time to cover the work generated by more team members.</li>
 +
<li>Teams should be a gender-balanced team, and having approximately as many women as men on a team. <span class="pop_why" onclick="which_why='why_gender'">?</span></li>
