Event Supervisors responsibilities You are responsible for: • knowing the rules (and clarifications and FAQ’s see www.soinc.org), • writing the event as well as the test and scoring sheet, • bringing all the supplies you need to carry out the event, • setting the event up, • tearing the event down, • returning the classroom to its original state, • scoring the event, and • score counseling your event when turning in the scores at HQ
Event Supervisors tips • Have a volunteer check attendance and wristbands. • You will receive an attendance form • Teams must compete at scheduled times • Write an event that follows the rules • For difficulty level of questioning, follow this as an example: 1/3 easy, 1/3 moderate, 1/3 difficult (“The 1/3 Rule”) • Make it a hands-on event! • NO Ties!! Have tie-breaker questions(at least three) designated in advance. Check rules of event as it may be precisely stipulated how these should be selected. • Competitors have a total of 50 minutes for the entire event • Bring a copy of the event/questions and answer sheet • No graded tests will be returned to competitors, only their scores • You may give HQ blank portions of the test to hand back (never give anything directly to the competitors)
Event Supervisors tips • Spirit of the rule: (ex. allow late competitors to the event- but no extra time) • Do NOT give any team an unfair advantage in your event • Absolutely NO parents/coaches allowed in the competition area • Let Headquarters know about any interference • Allow media access to events Grading • Please be ready to report winners at least one hour before awards • Consistency when grading: one person grading the same section • Please have answer key/rubric ready before competition • Be available 1 hour after competition by phone Volunteers • Better to bring your own • If you need proctors/graders, please let your Regional Director know as soon as possible.
