For delegates looking to participate in the Tournament of Champions, there are two primary ways to compete in the three, exclusive and academically-rigorous committees. First, delegates can gavel and win best delegate at participating local qualifiers: conferences that follow a dedicated HarvardMUN Championship Ruleset and uphold strict, academically-strong debates throughout the conference. Delegates who win Best Delegate from qualifying conferences will be invited directly by HarvardMUN Canada to register and participate in HarvardMUN Canada’s Tournament of Champions.

Secondly, delegates may choose to apply to the Tournament of Champions via an application form and make their case to HarvardMUN as to their potential registration. Please note that application form is only open to delegates whose province or territory does not have a qualifier.

Delegates who wish to attend the Tournament of Champions will be required to first register and secure their spot at the conference prior to applying for the Tournament of Champions.
