Scoring
    The team manager and one team member receive the raw scores and stickie notes from their Central Challenge as soon as possible following their team’s presentation. Instant Challenge scores are not disclosed until after the closing ceremony. The highest raw scores among all the teams competing against each other is converted to the maximum number of points and the remaining team’s raw scores are adjusted  accordingly.  If the team manager wishes to question the Central Challenge scores, initial contact must be made within 30 min. after the scores are received by letting the Challenge Master know that you have a concern. A SUBJECTIVE score cannot be appealed, but may be discussed.  OBJECTIVE scores may be appealed and the Challenge Master will get back to you as soon as possible between events.  Scores will be posted on our website the day after each Celebration.

bulletClosing Ceremonies will begin as soon as the scores from the final teams are tallied. 
bulletWho Goes on to States?
    The top three highest scoring teams from each challenge at each level from each zone will be invited to go on to our State Celebration on April 10th at the University of Maine in Orono.  Describing this next part is difficult; In Challenges that have 8 or more teams competing the 4th place team in that Challenge and Level will be invited to States and receive a Wild Card Pin.  Should a Challenge have 8+ teams scheduled but fewer than 8 show up and compete than that Challenge will no longer have a Wildcard.  Wildcards  will be announced at Closing.
bulletInclement Weather
    Rescheduling due to inclement weather is not always possibility due to facility constraints.  We will reschedule only in extreme situations.  Decisions regarding safety of travel are the responsibility of the Team Manager and parents.
