二○一二年三月

Arrangement for the 4th Competition of Abacus and Mental Arithmetic of WAAMA

This arrangement is formulated on the basis of 《Arrangement of the Third Competition of Abacus and Mental Arithmetic》and simultaneously combining with the opinions on improving competition management work detailed in《The Summary on the 2nd Executive Council Meeting of the Third Council of WAAMA》.

I. Group Division

Competitors are divided into 5 groups (Group of player, Group A of student, Group B of student and Group A and B for preschool children). The competitors from Japan, China and Chinese Taipei are not permitted to attend Group B contest. There are no restrictions for competitors from other countries and regions. The organization of member is not allowed to borrow players from other organization to join the competition. If it happens and is verified, the player’s qualification will be cancelled. In order to let more people have opportunity to participate in this competition, the individual contest this time is open-ended (in the last competition, we stipulated that each team could dispatch 3 players to join the group contest). In addition, we will organize the old-aged people to demonstrate their abacus and mental arithmetic skill in the competition. Mr. Yeh, Tseng-Yi, vice president of WAAMA will be in charge of old group exhibition game.

i. Group of player: There will be no age limitation.

ii. Group A of student: Competitors born after Jan. 1, 1999 can participate in this group contest.

iii. Group B of student: There will be no age limitation.

iv. Group A and B for preschool children: Competitors born after Jan. 1, 2005 can participate in this group contest.

II. Types and event, pattern and quantity of the questions, time and grading criteria.

i. Each Group has team contest. Group of player, Group A and B for student have individual all-round contest. Group A and B for preschool children have individual event.

In team contest, each unit of member organization is regarded as individual contestant. Each of them can dispatch 3 competitors to team contest. No score is given to the team with less than 3 competitors. 3 competitors must be specified at the time of registration. The final result of team contest for Group of player, Group A and B for student is the summation of 3 individual competitors’ score in individual all-round contest. The final result of team contest for Group A and B for preschool children is the summation of 3 individual competitors’ score in individual event.

As for individual all-around contest, there are no quota restrictions for member organizations to dispatch their own competitors. The total point of the three items, i.e. Addition-and-Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division is the final result for each individual competitor.

As for individual event, there are no quota restrictions for member organizations to dispatch their own competitors. Each competitor’s score in the item of Addition-and-Subtraction will be used as the final result of contest for individual event.

ii. Contest Event:

Group of player, Group A and B for student: Addition-and-Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division.
