Awards & Scoring

• Thanks to Hoosier Pattern! The 1st place winner of the Chapter Champion Award will win $500!

• Scoring will work as follows: 

  • 1st Place in  an event = 5 Pts

  • 2nd Place in an event = 4 Pts

  • 3rd Place in an event = 3 Pts

  • 4th Place in an event = 2 Pts

  • 5th Place in an event = 1 Pt

​

• Students and chapters can also gain points by completing certain things (scavenger hunts, campus tours, attending a leadership session, or breakout, talking to sponsor booths, etc.

​

• The total is added for each school and then the school with the most points wins. So it is in your chapters best interest to compete in as many events as possible and to excel in the events they are in. Encourage your kids to compete in any static event, as well as several others. Also a good reason for kids to make sure they don't get disqualified. Student's can compete in a maximum of 6 events.
