Thank you for volunteering to serve as a “Summit Scorekeeper”. The purpose of the Summit is to simulate the Global Economy. Students are divided into country teams and are competing and cooperating to increase the standard of living for their countries.

Summary of your Job
You are the official scorekeeper for 5-7 country teams. Each country team has a student leader, called the “Scoremaster”. The Scoremaster for each of your teams will report to you several times today to pick up documents, cards and coupons and to verify his/her team’s points as they earn them.

How to get help
Please confer with the “Senior Summit Scorekeeper” who will circulate among you and your fellow scorekeepers through the day.
