This just in from Singapore - 

Even as the world’s top football teams gather on the other side of the globe for the World Cup, more than 2,200 leading students from 30 countries will take the stage in Singapore for the 2014 World Scholar’s Cup. These students were the top scorers among more than 10,000 who competed for berths in Singapore at regional qualifying events on five continents.

The event’s opening ceremonies will take place on June 24 at the Star Theatre in Buona Vista and will feature a keynote speech by Yale-NUS College Professor of Political Science Dr. Rahul Sagar, author of Secrets and Leaks: The Dilemma of State Secrecy (Princeton University Press, 2013).
