The World Scholar's Cup (abbreviated as WSC) is an international team academic program with students participating from over 82 countries. The competition was founded by DemiDec, in particular by Daniel Berdichevsky, DemiDec's president, in 2006. The World Scholar's Cup has attracted what it calls "a global community of future scholars and leaders", and promotes that it allows participants to "discover strengths and skills you never knew you had." It focuses on bringing students from different cultures together to discuss issues and ideas relevant to today.
Tournament Format[edit]
A team for the World Scholar's Cup is usually composed of three students but under special circumstances, may contain two. The teams are usually made up of students from the same school, but mixed teams are allowed. Students have the option of forming "independent" teams that may include students from other schools or even other countries. Each team participates in the four standard, round events.
Teams may participate in any regional round. If teams are unable to attend a regional round, but would still like to participate in the Global Round, they may qualify for a wildcard berth.
To qualify for the annual Global Round, teams must do one of the following:
- Exceed a point threshold at a Regional Round (which varies per round but is usually 20,000)
- Earn a wildcard "at-large" berth at a Regional Round (through strong point performance)
- Apply for an exceptional berth (granted only in extraordinary circumstances)
To qualify to the Tournament of Champions at Yale University, teams must:
- Exceed a point threshold at a Global Round (which is usually around 22,000 points but may vary)
- All members have qualified at a Global Round
- Two members in a team must have been teammates at the Global Round they qualified from
There are both senior and junior divisions in the competition. A student's age designates which division they may participate in. For the 2019 season, a new rule has been introduced where people who are 14 or older on January 1 will be classified as a senior. A junior can participate in the senior division if he/she wishes to. In Regional Rounds, both divisions participate simultaneously, though juniors only compete against juniors and seniors against seniors. At the Global Round, the divisions are staggered, with the junior division competing in each event one day ahead of the senior division. In most cases, the junior Closing Ceremony is a day ahead of the senior Closing Ceremony.
Fees[edit]
Country Rounds require a registration fee of $15 to $25, depending on the number of teams.[1]
Global Rounds require a registration fee of $825 (if registering after 30 days of qualifying for the Global Round: $950). Accompanying adults need to register for $550.[2]
The Tournament of Champions requires a registration fee $3,600 for a team and their coach.
The costs are prohibitive for many students, so the "inclusivity" claim of the WSC is debatable.
Events[edit]
Each World Scholar's Cup Regional Round consists of four main events: the Scholar's Challenge, Collaborative Writing, The Team Debate, and the Scholar's Bowl. In addition to these four main events, at select tournaments additional activities take place. These activities are both social and academic, and strive to solidify the community aspect of the World Scholar's Cup.
At the end of June, top teams from around the world come together for the Global Round. At the global round, community events such as a scavenger hunt (Scholar's Scavenge), a cultural fair (Scholar's Fair) and a dance (Scholar's Ball) are added alongside the four main events, further cultivating the sense of global community of the program.
Team Events[3][edit]
The Scholar's Challenge[edit]
The Scholar's Challenge is a 120-question multiple choice exam given to each individual competitor to complete within 60 minutes. Prizes are awarded to top scholars in each subject and to both teams and individuals for the overall Challenge.
In 2015, WSC introduced a new element to the Scholar's Challenge: the certainty factor. Whereas normal multiple choice quizzes let you pick one answer per question, the certainty factor allows scholars to choose multiple answers for each question. The number of points scored is inversely proportional to the number of answers chosen. For example, if a scholar chose one choice and got it right, they would score a point. If they chose two answers and one was right, they would score 1/2 a point. If they chose three and one was right, they would score 1/3 of a point, and so forth. If time was running out, a student could shade in all five answers and automatically win 1/5 of a point.[4]
Collaborative Writing[edit]
Collaborative Writing is based on an argumentative structure, with students picking one of six different prompts. Each scholar on a team must pick a different prompt. Scholars pick one side of a topic(the kinds of topics may vary, from an undebatable question to a debatable statement) and write in favour of it or against it(or about it), with the goal to persuade readers to agree with their views. Students are expected to provide evidence to support their claims using any resources available to them (including the internet), with the exception of social networking sites and communicating with people other than their teammates during the exam.
At the beginning of the event, students have 25 minutes to work with their teammates to discuss and research their arguments. Following the collaboration period, students have 45 minutes to write their essay. There is no word minimum or maximum, and students are expected to cite sources. Following the writing period, students then have 15 minutes to collaborate again with their teammates to edit one another’s work, but they may not finish a teammate’s essay.[5]
Team Debate[edit]
The Team Debate focuses on encouraging students to develop their speaking and logic skills, as well as teamwork, to argue orally for or against a topic pertaining to the curriculum. The Team Debate is a very important event in the World Scholar's Cup, because it focuses on coming together as a community to discuss intellectual topics. The format is a straightforward one, designed specifically to be accessible to all levels of debaters, as many students in the competition are experiencing debate for the first time (about two-thirds of the competitors at regional rounds are debating for the first time).
The event proceeds as follows: All teams are assigned a debate room for the first round of debates. Debate room assignments (called debate trees, which show the room and side of teams, as well as determine where they will go next based on their debate outcome) are distributed at a central gathering place just prior to the beginning of the debate event. Teams will debate three times. In the debate room, teams will meet their opponents and learn the motion. Teams are pre-assigned whether they are to support or oppose the motion. Teams will have 15 minutes to confer within the room before the debate begins. Teams may use World Scholar’s Cup materials or any outside resources to prepare, including computers and Internet access where available. It is up to the members of individual teams to assign themselves speaking order. Before speaking, scholars will be requested to give the adjudicator his/her team number and letter (A, B, or C for Juniors; X, Y, or Z for Seniors).
Each student will stand in front of the room for the length of his or her speech. Teams may not make noise or interrupt while a student is speaking. Speakers may use notes. Students should not read their speeches in their entirety.
Students may speak for up to four minutes. There is no penalty for speaking up to four minutes. The judge will signal (usually with one knock), when the student has just one minute left to speak. At four minutes, the judge will signal (usually with two knocks) and the student may finish his or her sentence, but then must stop speaking and sit down. A two-member team may still debate, with one member speaking twice. A student who speaks twice will be scored only for his or her first speech.
Between speakers, teams will have 60 seconds to prepare before the next speaker is called. Before the end of the debate, the competing teams are required to give positive and constructive feedback to the opposing team, for roughly 90 seconds. At the end of the debate, the judge (or panel of judges) will announce a winning team. The winning team will then proceed to a designated room and the non-winning team to a different designated room, where each will face another team with the same number of wins and non-wins.[6]
One cultural aspect of WSC debate is the 'lollipop'. In order to promote positivity and self-improvement, the World Scholar's Cup in 2015 stopping using the word "losing" and instead now says "lollipopping". This change was also reflected in the debate schedules that each team receives, with the term "losing team" no longer used.
The Scholar's Bowl;)[7][edit]
The Scholar's Bowl is a team event usually held in a theater. Team members work together to answer multiple choice questions that are displayed on a large screen.
In order to answer the questions, each team of students is given a "clicker" that connects to a scoring computer on stage. Students then choose their answer by pressing A, B, C, D, or E on their clicker. Once the question has been read aloud by the bowl master (usually Alpaca-In-Chief Daniel Berdichevsky), students are given 15 seconds to submit their answer. The questions gets harder each time and worth more points than the previous one. There are sometimes rapid fire questions which have to be answered in 5 seconds (5 such questions will be present and each question will usually carry 100 points).
The Scholar's Bowl implements many types of questions, many based on popular multimedia examples. The questions tend to include references to pop culture, and often include the names of WSC staff members. The tournament mascot, the alpaca, often also makes an appearance, however all questions related to alpacas do not carry points or they are used as practice questions.
Questions from each area of the curriculum are featured in the Scholar's Bowl. At the Global Round in 2010, a new scoring system for the Scholar's Bowl was introduced, making each question worth more points than the last as the questions get more difficult. After all bowl rounds have finished, there is a bonus round that includes question with points starting from 1000, all the way up to 2000 per question, as the difficulty level increases. The final question of every Scholars Bowl allows you to gamble points from betting to win 500 points to 2500 points.
One of the main aims of the Scholar's Bowl is to allow the team of students to work together, using both logic skills and knowledge, to answer each question. Participants discuss the questions among their team, pulling together the different aspects of their knowledge in the pursuit of success. The Scholar's Bowl is often the last educational event of the competition before the awards ceremony.[8]
Community Events[9][edit]
The Scholar's Scavenge[edit]
The Scholar's Scavenge occurs each year at the Global Round and the Tournament of Champions, and first took place in 2009 in Singapore. Students are teamed up with those from other countries and given a list of tasks. At least one person in the team has a camera, and the tasks are completed by taking photos and videos. The tasks may relate to the curriculum (such as "create a city out of things you find in the park"), teamwork (such as "create a human pyramid"), organizers (such as "take a video of Daniel speaking Spanish"), or just silly (such as "take a video of your team singing an annoying song"). Each task is worth a certain number of points depending upon the difficulty. At the end of the scavenge, chaperons collect the memory cards of the student taking the pictures and score them. These scores do not count toward the scores in the competition as a whole, but are only used for this event. Sometimes, teams with the highest scores will be call up for an award in an award ceremony.[10]
The Debate Showcase[edit]
Another additional event is the Debate Showcase. The regional round's top 8 junior and senior debaters take part in this event. At Regional Rounds there is only one Debate Showcase with both juniors and seniors taking part. Regardless, 8 students debate in each Showcase.
The format mirrors the main event's format, but the students instead debate on stage in front of the rest of the participants. Each student speaks once for up to four minutes. When all six speakers have gone, the host of the Showcase invites volunteers from the audience and debaters from the showcase to step forward and share their general thoughts on the topic that was debated.
Additionally, top-scoring round debate participants (or runners-up) are the judging panel for the Showcase. When the Debate Showcase ends, the panel announce the winners.[11]
The Scholar's Ball[edit]
The Scholar's Ball was first added to the tournament in 2011 at the Global Round in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The idea spawned from a conversation about the competition where one party misheard "Scholar's Bowl" as "Scholar's Ball".
The Scholar's Ball encourages mingling, dancing, and the chance to "look sharp". Students are required to come in formal wear. Some scholars refer to it as a "pseudo-prom" or "nerd-prom". It was introduced to allow students mingle with students from different countries. It's also a fun way to introduce yourself to your crush which you'll most likely never come across again.[12]
The Scholar's Show[edit]
The first Scholar's Show occurred in 2010 at the regional round held in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. Its origins are spontaneous—it is the result of students' response to Queen's "We Will Rock You" playing during an intermission. Students began stomping their feet and clapping along, and one of the organizers encouraged them to sing along. When the song was over, Berdichevsky invited any student wanting to showcase their talent to come forward, and The Scholar's Show was born.
Since its inception, The Scholar's Show has grown from a spontaneous talent show to a showcase of students' ambition, skill, and bravery. Student performances range from vocal and instrumental performances to beat boxing, dancing, and magic tricks. The Scholar's Show is meant to bring students together by introducing them to mutual talents and interests. The Scholar's Show is held at all two-day rounds, and at each Global Round and the Tournament of Champions.
Notable performances include three girls singing a self-written song about Alpacas, to the melody of John Lennon's "Imagine" (2012 Beijing Round), and Berdichevsky himself doing a rap on Alpacas (2011 Global Round). A boy in Dubai also recited 100 digits of pi while a boy in Hong Kong performed another magnificent feat: correctly identifying all the capitals in the world to its correct countries. A duo in Bangalore Regional Round did some Yoga. A group of scholars performed a self-written song to the melody of Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You", whilst making avocado toast, titling it the The Shape Of Avocado (2018 Bahrain Round). Scholars juggling sushi. A trio of scholars who named themselves the "TimTam team" experimenting with TimTam chocolate bars on stage.[13]
Flag March[edit]
The Flag March happens at the end of every Global Round and Tournament of Champions before the Awards Ceremony. In the Flag March, there is one representative (flag bearer) from every country participating in the World Scholar’s Cup. The flag bearers carry the flag of their country and march to the stage.[14]
The World Scholar's Camp[edit]
In 2012, the World Scholar's Camp was created, and took place in Singapore in December 2012. It included seminars and outings to various locations in Singapore.
Camps take place at various schools and cities through the year.[15]
Awards Ceremony
The Awards Ceremony, also known as the Closing Ceremony, takes place just before everyone says their goodbyes. Traditionally, staff members stand on stage and announce the winners for the entire round. In the 2017 Hanoi Global Round, a new division, the Skittles Division, was formed, which encompasses kids aged primary years (from 8-12).
Curriculum[edit]
The World Scholar's Cup curriculum has six subjects that relate to a larger theme. Each year the theme changes, and with it so does the Special Area. The curriculum is designed to help students understand the overarching themes of the subjects and how they relate to one another. Students are often given questions that require critical thinking skills as well as their basic knowledge to come to a conclusion rather than focusing on memorization. For instance, instead of asking on which date an experiment was performed, the question would ask, "Which artist would be most likely to oppose this experiment?"
The subjects of the curriculum are:
- Science
- Literature
- Art & Music
- Special Area
- History
- Social Studies
Until 2009, mathematics up to trigonometry was included in the curriculum. However, in 2010 it was eliminated in order to better address the goals of the competition. The tournament's decision to eliminate math stemmed from the subject's inflexibility and its difficulty to debate, though the World Scholar's Cup does not deny the importance of math in life and education. In 2008, the World Scholar's Cup added a "film" category to its visual arts section, and in 2010 added a "music" category to its art section.
Until 2013, the World Scholar's Cup released curriculum guides each year—one for each subject. The guides were available free-of-charge on its official website. Starting in 2013, topic outlines and theme-relevant material was made freely available to students through their website. The World Scholar's Cup recommends connecting each section of the outline to the given theme and how they connect or impact society.[16]
Until 2014, there was a Current Affairs section, which was replaced by Social Studies. To address its absence, Current Affairs would from thereon out be integrated across all six subjects instead.
