What an amazing ride!  The MS level of IBOB this year was fertile soil to sandbox this world wide program. IBOB isn't an island: without the enthusiastic engagement of teachers, techies, and teacher librarians from all over the world providing inspiration and feedback this simply would not have been possible. One name must be mentioned here: THANK YOU to Hamlet without whose ingenious database to handle questions the rounds could not be distributed and personalized in such an efficacious manner to facilitate multiple thousands of schools down the road if schools deem it worthwhile.  The distribution database is the foundation to make this possible for any school anywhere there is internet.
Congratulations to The American School in Tegucigalpa, Honduras for claiming the gold medal for South America and The German Swiss International School in Hong Kong for taking the gold in Asia.   Congratulations to The British School, Quito, Ecuador for taking silver in SA as well as The French International School, Hong Kong and The International Christian School, Hong Kong for taking silver and bronze respectively.  Next year schools are ready to represent at MS level on four continents and a world wide championship round is on the horizon.  Hopefully your school will permit you to proudly display your medals on your website or at least you can put them on your library or classroom landing page.  Looking so forward to August!!
Finally, a huge thank you to the Association of Librarians in English Speaking Schools Hong Kong (ALESS) for creating such a professional enquiry atmosphere that leads to ventures such as this!
