They then begin giving them timings and tests, and eliminate students until they have three persons for each team. A lot of extra time and hard work is involved. Three divisions are set up to divide students according to the number of years they have taken a subject. They are: novice, the first year: amateur, the second yearg and open, for the third year of typing.
