What are the divisions?
The junior division includes students up to 13 years old; though there is no bottom cut-off, most participants are at least 10. The senior division is for students 14 and older. To ensure consistent divisions throughout the 2024 season, any student who turns 14 by January 1, 2024 (i.e. born before January 1, 2010) will be considered a senior division student. "Skittles" events are also held in select countries for students 10 and younger only; these younger scholars are also welcome in the standard Junior Division.

Is there an age limit for the senior division?
The upper end of eligibility for the senior division is: the last year of a student's pre-university level of schooling (e.g. high school). As long as students were enrolled in such an institution on January 1 of the calendar year, they maintain their eligibility through the Global Rounds and the Tournament of Champions.
