Global Rounds
Every year, we invite qualifying teams from all of our regional rounds to their choice of Global Rounds, distributed around the world to make them more accessible to scholars in more places. Some are extra large, some not quite small; all have in common great diversity, unabashed awkwardness, and the enduring sense of community at the heart of our program.
At every Global Round, teams will have the chance to earn invitations to our annual Tournament of Champions at Yale University. 2025 Global Rounds will take place in Doha, Bangkok (twice), Ljubljana, Seoul, Shenzhen, Kuala Lumpur, and Dubai.
