What are my students doing on Monday night of the conference?

We will be hosting the first ever Global Gauntlet! Aimee Ryan, Kelsi Steel, Kedra Arnold and I have worked to create six rounds to the Gauntlet. Each round will feature 15 questions. So what are the rounds and what kind of questions can you expect? Below is a brief overlay of the competition.


Round 1: Parliamentary Procedure
The answers are taken from the quick sheet provided on our website and the United Nations website.

Round 2: Origin of the United Nations and Structure
These questions are found in come from the United Nations Charter.

Round 3: World History
These are basic question about global history from each corner of the globe


Round 4: MMUN Back Ground Guides
Each question is created from the background guides of each committee member. Thus the whole team should read their committee background guides. Beware that Security Council questions will be included. Thus if you don’t have a member you may want to look at these guides.


Round 5: Current Events
These events garnered major headlines between 2007 and today.


Round 6: Geography
These range from basic locations to political geography to physical geography.

Why is participation important in the Global Gauntlet? We will be awarding points to the best team. Points will be given to countries and count towards the individual school awards. These were decided by just a few points last year
