saint gaming challenge organisers – qualification change
19 February 2007 — There has been a change to the requirements for students to be part of the organisers/marshal team for the tournament. The changes are as followed:
Previously, students must attain 60% overall for both common test and mid-year exam. Students will not be considered should they fail to achieve 60% in their common test.
Now, students must follow the pointing system. The system is as followed. ‘Common Test (30% weightage) + Mid-Year Exam (70% weightage) = 60 points (out of 100)
Admin Calculations
Common Test
Max Pts: 30 (100% CT)
Advised Pts: 18 (60% CT)
Lowest Pts: 16.5 (55% CT)
Mid-Year Exams
Max Pts: 70 (100% MYE)
Advised Pts: 42 (60% MYE)
Lowest Pts: 43.5 (55% MYE + Excess Pts Required to Cover for CT)
That is, Adv Pts + Adv Pts = 60, Lowest Pt + Lowest Pt = 60.
Students WILL BE ALLOWED to use excess points from common test for their mid year exam, in an event that they do badly. Excess points to be added to the MYE points will be divded by two before it is added to the points attained for MYE. This system also works otherwise. However, there will still be a cut-off point for organisers.
Students that fail to attain 18 points (ie. 55% overall) or higher for Common Test 1 will not be considered for the team.
More changes are expected to come. Stay tuned you organisers-wannabes!
