Once a contest is over, the student’s contest sheet will be scanned and uploaded to google drive that all the contest directors/proctors have access to as well as chosen graders for that contest. The contest will be graded and scored. Once the scoring is set, there will be a verification room set up at each host school so that scores can be verified. If you would like to be part of the grading, please let your regional host director know so that we can set you up as grader. We are very pleased to be helping host this year’s meet and feel confident that your participants will have the opportunity to perform at a high level during the competition.
