*NACLO now stands for North American Computational Linguistics Open competition*

NACLO announcement
December 18, 2019

The US Olympic Committee has asked NACLO and other academic contests to comply with
the Ted Stevens Act, which grants use of the terms Olympics, Olympiad solely to the
USOC in the United States.  Academic Competitions have been working around this
restriction for years, but after the most recent request from the USOC, we have
agreed to comply, starting with the 2020 competition.

If you have spelled out NACLO on your web site, resume, or anything else, please
change it to North American Computational Linguistics Open competition.
