As you may know, there are 4 ways to earn points:

1. If your team coach is already certified as an IC³ Authorized Instructor when you register, your team starts out with 300 points.
2. Any qualified teacher on your team can become certified as an IC³ Authorized Instructor, earning 100 points per instructor.
3. Every time a team member (which can be students, teachers, parents, friends—anyone you can recruit!) passes an exam for the first time, he or she earns 50 points for the team.
4. When a team member has passed all three exams, he or she is officially certified, earning an additional automatic 50 points.

Now I will tell you the best hint around for winning the IC3 World Cup Competition: Get as many people on your team as you possibly can and help each person earn his or her Certification! Here are some tips for making the Competition a success for your team (I am sure you will come up with more creative ideas as well)...

• Help every member of your team pass all 3 exams and earn his or her Certification (3 exams per team member + Certification = 200 points possible per person).
• Get parents involved! Why not? A basic knowledge of internet and computing skills can open doors for everyone and it's never too late to begin.
• Advertise! Download and print marketing materials from our ftp site right now (click here). Certiport has recently sent promotional posters to many of the testing centers and solution providers. If you have not seen any posters and would like to order some, please contact Certiport as soon as possible.
• Recruit more teachers to your team and have them certify as IC3 Authorized Instructors. Authorized Instructors not only earn big points for the team, they are a great support in teaching and preparing other teammates to pass exams!

Have a good week everyone!
