Regional, National and Global Tournaments

High school SAGE teams travel to a state (or regional) competition sometime between February and July, 2007.

The state (or regional) competition is hosted by a university or SAGE Coordinator in your area. At the competition SAGE teams will be assigned to “leagues,” just like in athletic competitions. Each team presents the results of its activity to a panel of judges. The SAGE team that is rated the highest is known as the State SAGE Champion.

The winner of the state or regional competition advances to the National SAGE competition, which is usually held at the end of May or in June (for example, in the USA, the 2007 National SAGE competition will be in New York City on May 24-26). The SAGE World Cup usually takes place the first week August each year.

The Fifth Annual SAGE World Cup will take place in August 2-5, 2007 in Odessa, Ukraine. To learn more about Odessa and to view some beautiful photographs, please see http://www.odecca.com/ukraine/odessa/ and http://odessa.russian-women.net/.
