Guidelines
Bonus Points
Hey- so as for the point breakdown for the non- event activities I was just thinking that we would start at 100pts, and drop 10 pts for each place.
The team spirit points will be awarded based on the flag, team name, theme song and overall team spirit. Obviously its subjective so I wasn't sure what to write for how the points would be awarded but I think its fair enough just to say they will be awarded based on appearance, creativity and attention to detail. And it should be added that this portion of the competition is meant to be a fun escape from the programming and engineering activities so the more fun the team seems to be having with it, the more likely they will be to win the "team spirit" award.
