The nudge I needed to really check out World Scholar's Cup

After receiving a promotional email for World Scholar's Cup where they will have a rep visit to promote their event.  I wrote this back.

Daniel,

I'd love some answers to the email I sent to you and a number of your team members on April 27, 2018.  Here is part of the email...

"Can I also get more clarification on the non-profit status of WSC?  As I was trying to determine where to send the bill and how we should handle taxes on the invoice, I wasn't able to find any information about Scholar's Cup in the California registry of non-profits, nor was I able to find it in the corporate registry."

I am concerned that when I tried to stop by the WSC headquarters that it was a clothing store.

 A half a day later I received this email.

And that seems pretty sketchy to me.  I asked a question, which I have been nagging about for quite some time, and get booted from their email list.  So this blog will compile my experiences with World Scholar's Cup.

Edit:

Three weeks later I received this email:
