Rules and Regulations
Presentation Format: The presentation should primarily consist of a slideshow, oral report, or skit; however, if other forms of performing arts are desired, an application must be submitted in advance to the organizing unit, and the performance should be limited to 3 minutes.
Presentation Time: The presentation is limited to 8 minutes, followed by a 5-minute interactive Q&A session. Each team has no more than 13 minutes on stage. A bell will ring once and a sign will be raised when the presentation reaches 7 minutes as a reminder. At 8 minutes, the bell will ring twice, and the presenting group must immediately stop their presentation.
Interactive Q&A Session Format: The preceding team must ask 1 to 2 questions, which will be evaluated by the judges, and add 0 to 2 points to the final scores based on their relevance to the presentation contents. After the preceding team's questions, other teams may start to ask questions, with no score deductions or additions. (Notes: In each group, the last team will ask the first team questions.) Interactive Q&A session is limited to 5 minutes. A single bell ring will indicate that 4 minutes have passed. If it reaches 5 minutes, the bell will ring twice, and you must stop the Q&A immediately.
We divided all groups into “College and University Group,” “Senior High School Group,” and “Junior High School Group.” To ensure fair judging and prevent bias, each group will be evaluated and rewarded separately.
During the presentation, teams can only use facilities provided by the Executor and teams cannot connect their equipment to the Executor’s. If this behavior is discovered, the team will be asked to remove their equipment before they can continue presenting, and the time will not be suspended. 7 8
During the presentation, the internet of the Executor will be reserved for live streaming. To ensure fairness, the internet will not be available, nor should the teams using the internet.
During the presentation process, if any team deliberately disrupts the order of the events and a violation is confirmed, points will be deducted from the final score.
Scoring Criteria: The scoring criteria are outlined in the following table. Any revision will be based on the latest version and simultaneously announced on the event’s official website.
The final award results will be based on the Executor announcement. In case of any concerns, teachers from each team can collect appeal forms from the Executor and fill out the issues, then submit them to the Executer before 7 p.m. on December 27th, 2024. Late submissions will not be accepted. Appeals must be related to the rules, order of the presentation, and eligibility of participants. Appeals regarding the scoring of the judges and other technical or academic matters are not permitted. If necessary, relevant parties may be called for clarification. The appeal outcome will be jointly determined by the Organizer, the Executor, and the judges. Then, a response will be provided to the appellant within 7 working days.
