Notes how to answer the questions
    A. One have use usual case of letters: capital letters should be used only in the adequate places. TO USE ONLY CAPITAL LETTERS IS WRONG. See an example below. One may use only 26 symbols of English alphabet.
    B. Write only answers (do not copy questions).
    C. There should not be filled answers for "#." if the "#.#." question exists. For example, one has to fill "6.1.", "6.2.", etc, lines but there should be not "6." line in answers.
    D. Please, do not write "as last year" instead of actual data.
    E. All points (both bold and unbold) must be filled in any case. Nevertheless for the teams do not ask invitations for visa the points marked by "(*)" (unbold: 6.5-7, 8, 10.3-4) may be sent additionally (not later the "urgent deadline for for sending documents", 7 weeks before the Olympiad). All data necessary to get permission to visit cosmodrome Baikonur.
    For applications received later than 8.5 weeks before the Olympiad or application without all data at 8.5 weeks before the Olympiad the LOC could not give assurance about issuing visa support documents for the team.
