Points are determined by a faculty advisor or coach. Points are used in the awarding of medallions, major awards and some scholarships. The quality and quantity of the student’s involvement determines the amount of points the student receives. Quality is based on the five categories (see below). The quantity is based on the chart pictured below.

Activity Points Example

Bill was in the chess club. In the fall he attended every meeting and organized the schedule for the matches. He recruited & encouraged other players but did not play that well himself. In the January –March his attendance dropped but picked it up in the spring. In the city-championships the team placed second. He attended 26 meetings and each meeting was 1.5 to 2 hours in duration.

Bill’s Activity Points for Chess

Note that only a maximum of 50 points can be awarded for one activity – and that will occur only in very rare instances.
