What are the events in Governor's Cup?
There are five written assessments: Mathematics, Science,
Social Studies, Language Arts, and Arts and Humanities. Written
assessments are multiple-choice examinations.
Composition is the sixth individual event. There
are also two team events, Quick Recall and Future Problem
Solving. Both Quick Recall teams and FPS teams consist of four students.
Who will I be competing against and when
will I find out where my Governor's Cup will be held?
KAAC sends out hosting notices after the October 1
membership deadline passes. When sites are confirmed, you will receive a printout showing
your district and regional host sites and who is in your
Governor's Cup district. This is usually in early December.
How much are the fees to participate in
Governor’s Cup?
Elementary fees are $225, Middle Grades and High School fees
are $325.
What time is Future Problem Solving?
The coaches attending the district or regional Competition
Planning Meeting decide the starting time for FPS (and, in the
Middle Grades and High School divisions, Composition).
These events must be held after the school day, allowing
for travel time between schools, unless ALL participating
schools agree to come earlier.
Who may serve as officials?
Anyone, but there are certain rules about who may officiate
in what capacity. High school students may perform any duty on
the elementary level except judge and chief official. Immediate
relatives of team members may not officiate in an event in which
the team member participates. Coaches may proctor exams but
shouldn't be placed in an evaluative position.
