As the popularity grew, this tournament spread out and different countries started to participate. These days, the competition attracts teams from nearly thirty countries and takes place in a different country each year.
The rules for presentation of the results, opposition, reviewing and judgment by the independent jury are fixed in the Regulations of IYPT.
During each Physics Fight (PF) students have not only to present their solution to one of the 17 problems as chosen by their opponent but they have to oppose the presentation of other students. The reporter then has to defend his solution against the opponent. The reviewer then summarizes what have been done by reporter and opponent (all the information are in the Regulations). PersianYoung Physicists’ Tournament (PYPT)PYPT is the official qualification tournament for the Iranian high school students. To distinguish Iranian Young Physicists’ Tournament (IYPT) from the International Young Physicists’ Tournament (IYPT), the Persian Young Physicists’ Tournament and the acronym (PYPT) has been chosen.
