Judging The Entries
Every effort will be made to evaluate tasks impartially and separately; all entries will be identified by a randomly assigned number. Judges will not know from which schools the entries came from. 

A highly qualified group of judges, made up of experienced university professors and administrators, will evaluate every task of the competition, separately. The averaged score of the separate evaluations becomes each team's score. A perfect score for all of the tasks on the day of the competition, would be 100 points. Clear and complete sentences, with correct grammar and spelling can make a difference! In the event of a tie, clear written communication
(spelling, grammar, completeness, and clarity) will determine winners.

Please note that there is a stiff penalty of 1 deducted point per late minute for submission. In all cases, your team should complete the competition before the 11:59 AM deadline on the day of the competition. 

Appeals
While every effort will be made to resolve unforeseen problems, the volunteer organizers of this event reserve the right to make a final decision regarding any appeal for the sake of closure, expediency, and economy. This is clearly described on the application form.

Competition Results
Results of the competition will be announced on the main page of this website. The specific results of your own team and its comparative ranking with all competing schools will be emailed, upon request, to your Team Coach after the judging has been completed, as described in the calendar. There will be no comprehensive ranking of competing high schools by name; only the top 5 high schools will be announced.
