Make sure to sign your teams up for the appropriate level! This is based on their level of Latin at other NJCL events, not necessarily their grade level.
  • Novice: Latin ½ or 1 (usually, but not always, 7th and 8th grade for schools that start Latin in 7th, and 9th grade for those that start in 9th)
  • Intermediate: Latin 2 (usually 9th grade for schools that start in 7th grade, 10th otherwise)
  • Advanced: Latin 3 or above
Please contact us if you have any doubts about where your students fit in these rules.

I certify that I am registering all of my teams for the appropriate division based on their level of Latin. 

I understand that their level is NOT determined by their Certamen experience, only their level of Latin (e.g. Latin 2 students must sign up for Intermediate, not Novice, even if they have never played Certamen).

I understand that wildcard players may play up (e.g. a novice may play as an intermediate wildcard), but may NOT play down (e.g. an intermediate may not play as a novice wildcard).
