The World Scholar's Cup (occasionally abbreviated as WSC) is an international team academic tournament with students participating from over 40 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." However, despite technically being a competition, The World Scholar's Cup focuses far more on bringing students from different cultures together to discuss issues and ideas relevant to today and the future. ==Tournament Format== A team for the World Scholar's Cup is composed of three students. The teams are usually made up of students from the same school, but that's not always the case. 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 Global Round, teams must do one of the following: *Place in the top fifty in their division at a regional round *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 be invited to the Tournament of Champions at Yale University, teams must: *Place in the top 150 in their division at the Global Round or *Apply for a berth based on their performance throughout the season, at the regional and/or global level There are both senior and junior divisions in the competition. A student's age designates which division they may participate in. Students that are below age 14 participate in the junior division, while students 15 and older participate in the senior division.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=World Scholar's Cup )〕 A junior can participate in the senior division if he/she wishes to. Both divisions participate simultaneously, though juniors only compete against juniors and seniors against seniors. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「World Scholar's Cup」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
