Could you elaborate on what “Denker” is?
Denker is a tournament that is held in New Jersey I think. One Highschooler from each state will come to represent there state.

A state can nominate you and you could go for free, or you can pay and go.

I am homeschooled and qualified
Anyway you get to the Denker by earning your state's nomination to go. That's the only way, as it's an invitational. I might add Denker is the Highschool championship btw, so you'd also need to be in 9th-12th grade. The Barber is 6th-8th, the Rockefeller Idk exactly but I guess it's all the other grades

How do you earn an invitation? Do I have to have a good OTB rating?

Nah rating doesn't necessarily matter. Alabama could have sent an 1100 to the Denker, technically. Idk what every state does exactly, but I know Alabama has usually sent the winner of the state scholastic championship. I'd assume it's similar for most states
Hello everyone I was wondering how do you qualify for Denker? Can you be homeschooled to qualify or do have to be in public school? How do you qualify to play in the tournament that will decide which student will head to Denker?
