Tournament of Champions 2026

Yale University · November 12–18 — registration for official school and private delegations

1Your delegation

Only qualified teams are eligible to attend. Verify your delegation to load its qualified teams. Coordinators register whole delegations; parents register their own scholar’s team. Fees.

No access to that mailbox? Verify with the details on file instead:

Comma-separated, from any past season—helpful when no email or phone is on file.

2Who’s coming

Tick everyone attending. A full team that registers together stays a team. If only two teammates can come, a scholar from another of your incomplete teams may complete them; a scholar attending alone registers as a solo.

Scholar not listed? Add qualifiers from another Global Round.
