The organising committee have all worked hard to make the 2024 edition of Champions Trophy Case Competition an unforgettable experience! We have planned a range of exciting social activities for participants and advisors. These social events will give competitors the opportunity to explore what Auckland has to offer and get to know each other before the case days begin. At the heart of our social events throughout the competition is the Ka Pai Cup.
What is the Ka Pai Cup?
The Ka Pai Cup, first introduced to Champions Trophy in 2012, recognises and rewards the team that displays the most enthusiasm and positive spirit throughout the week. Ka Pai is the Māori word for “good”, but it means much more than this! It’s commonly used in the context of appreciation and happy occurrences, and acknowledges the coveted “go-get-‘em” attitude. It has become so ubiquitous that it is now part of our Kiwi culture.
During the week, teams can earn “Ka Pai Points” for good deeds, a positive spirit and successes in social activities. The daily results will be announced and the team with the most points by the end of Saturday will be awarded the Ka Pai Cup at the final dinner. We hope the recognition of good cheer spreads the spirit of Ka Pai throughout your experience in New Zealand!
