Class typing championship

Class against class and school against school, a round every month of the school year. Free, and no student is ever named.

How it works

From September to February, every month is a round. A teacher enters a school class once, from its page in Classes, with the class's name as the boards should show it and the name of the school. After that there is nothing to organise: every checked 1-minute English test a student in the class takes during the month counts.

• Fastest classes: each student's best checked 1-minute test of the month, averaged across the class. A class needs five students with a checked test that month to be ranked, so one fast typist cannot carry it alone.
• Most improved classes: how much each student's best of the month beats their first test of the month, averaged across the students who took at least three tests. This is the board a class of beginners can win.
• Schools: every student in the school's entered classes, counted once, averaged together. A school needs ten students to be ranked.

Only checked tests count: each one is replayed key by key on our server, so pasted text and scripts do not get onto the boards. A new round starts on the first of each month, and the boards below show the current round, or the last one between March and August.

Why September to February

Typing practice in schools follows the school year. Searches for typing games in the United States are highest in September and stay high through the winter, then fall away in June and July and drop sharply over the Christmas holiday. A monthly round fits the way classes work: there is always a fresh start, and a class that joins in November is not months behind.

What the boards show, and what they never show

The boards show the class's name as the teacher wrote it, the school, the country, the class's average and how many students it counted. They never show a student's name, a single student's result, or anything that would identify a child. Classes on the boards are school classes, where nothing of a student's is public anywhere on the site; our student privacy commitments explain the rest.

Teachers can change the names or withdraw a class at any time. If a name on the boards is not right for a school, write to hello@camelkeys.com and we will take it down.

Entering your class

1. Create a free school class from Classes, if you do not have one, and add your students: young students can sign in with two pictures instead of a password.
2. On the class's page, fill in Class championship: the class's name on the boards, the school and the country.
3. Set a 1-minute test as a task, or simply let students take tests. The class page shows your place, and how many more students need a test this month for the class to be ranked.

The championship is free, like the classes. A short practice most days does more for a class's average than one long session a week, and the touch typing lessons are the place to start.
