The 2nd Moraitis School Cup is taking place on Friday, January 21st, and Saturday, January 22nd, 2011. The tournament will be held in the British Parliamentary format and is open to high school students.
One of the features of the Cup is the 6th-graders competition which features two separate rounds for students of the last year of the primary school system (or equivalent). Topics for that branch of the competition will be pre-announced to assist the students in preparing.
