As an initial step, it's important to get familiar with the key CoderZ League terms that are critical to understanding the League structure, regulations, and scoring system:

• Team: A collection of participants (students) from the same age group and institution working together to achieve the common goal of advancement in the League.

• Mission: Activities in which all team members program a virtual robot to complete a task and acquire points.

•  Contribution: The number of points contributed to a team by a team member for each mission or challenge.

•  Challenge: A summative, open-ended activity, in which members of a team program the virtual robot to traverse an arena and acquire as many points as possible.

•  Leaderboard: Visible ranking of teams or individuals for a given mission or challenge.

•  Division: Conference or league to which CoderZ League is divided. There are three CoderZ League divisions, Novice, Junior and Pro, based on age group and difficulty of missions and challenges.

•  Region: Geographical areas into which teams of the same division are sorted.
