IC³ World Cup Competition Point System

Teams score Certification Points when:

• A team member passes an IC³ exam (50 pts)
• A team member passes all three exams, earning his/her IC³ Certification (50 pts)
• An IC³ Authorized Instructor becomes a team coach and registers his/her team* (300 points)
• A qualified team member becomes an IC³ Authorized Instructor (AI)** (100 pts)
  Notify Certiport of a new AI certification earned by a member of your team.

* To win the Cup in any division, teams must earn at least 30 Team Spirit points!
** IC³ Authorized Instructors must notify Certiport of their certification to receive points for the team.

Team Spirit Points

Team Spirit Points are REQUIRED in order to win in any division. In order to qualify to win, each team must earn at least 30 Team Spirit Points, which will be added to their team's total score. No more than 50 Team Spirit Points will be counted. For ways to earn Team Spirit Points, visit the Team Spirit Points page.

Please Note:

• The team coach is the only player who can have points grandfathered for the competition and will earn 300 points if he/she is already IC³ Certified and has his/her Authorized Instructor certification.
• Activities completed before the start date of the competition or before the participant is added to a team will not be awarded points, with the exception of teams who register in October. All certifications earned and exams passed at the team's Certiport Testing Center in September 2009 will be counted for teams who register on or before October 31, 2009.
• In the case of a tie, the average score of all IC³ exams taken by the teams' members will determine the tie-breaker.
• The team coach or another member of the team MUST notify Certiport and provide verifying information of any new IC³ Authorized Instructor certifications earned in order to receive the corresponding 100 points.
