Invitation Letters

If your delegation requires a specific invitation letter for visa purposes, we would be happy to issue one after your delegation registers for the Global Round.

Tournament of Champions Qualification

Scholars at the Bangkok September Global Round will have the same opportunities to qualify for the Tournament of Champions in November 2025 as those of the other Global Rounds. Qualifiers will be announced at the Closing Ceremonies.

We ask that delegations who are interested in attending the ToC to keep in mind the amount of time required to organize US visas, school permission, and other necessary arrangements when selecting a Global Round to attend.
