Due to a record number of students in Ho Chi Minh City, we have made some changes to the schedule. Please see the important details below.
1) Day Two has been moved to a noon start, and Day One for seniors and Grade 7/8 juniors has been moved to an 11:30 am arrival. Please see the schedule linked in the sidebar.
2) We have created a separate division for teams of junior students from Grade 6 (11 or 12 years old). These teams will follow the schedule linked in the sidebar for "Junior Skittles". They will arrive Saturday morning at 8 am and participate alongside the primary division for their debates and writing/challenge. (This will allow them to debate against peers in their own age group.) They will depart at 3:30 pm on Saturday and return Sunday for the full Day Two. Just as last year, they will have their own division for awards.
We deeply regret any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your patience, and we look forward to seeing you at the largest regional round of the season! #biggerbettermoremagical
