Of course when you learn about something new that can potentially help save lives, everybody wins!
However, in the spirit of competition, the Allergy Awareness Challenge is set up to put grades or teams against each other in a test of allergy knowledge. It's a three day competition that attempts to create a friendly rivalry between competing sides. The scoring system is set up so that all teams have an equal chance at winning. The winning grade will be determined by two factors: |
1. ParticipationEach grade or team will earn 1 point for every person who participates in an activity. Thus, the more people that are involved in the activities, the better chance their grade or team has at winning the overall competition.
|
2. High ScoresA team will receive an additional 50 bonus points if one of their teammates wins the Food Allergy Spelling Bee or Food Allergy Jeopardy. 50 bonus points will also be awarded to the team with the most participants in the Adopt an Allergy challenge.
