The tournament’s over! This year, for our second tournament, we were able to host 25 teams — more than twice as many as the year before! Thank you to all the teams who competed, to all the coaches for helping us proctor events, and to all the volunteers who helped make this tournament a reality. We hope you enjoyed attending our tournament as much as we enjoyed hosting it, and we’ll see you again next year!

Tests and answer keys

Electronic copies of blank tests and answer keys have been sent to all attending teams. We will release the exams publicly on our website in June 2020.

Schedule of events

We plan to run all 23 of the official 2019 Division C events. We will not be running any trial events. Wherever it makes a difference, we will be following regional rules.
