Points earned after May 15, 2010 will accumulate in the first contest segment of the new school year, which begins August 1, 2010 and continues through September 30, 2010.
For each Contest Segment, the following Prizes will be awarded:
Two Grand prizes of $5,000 each will be awarded at the end of each Contest Segment:
1) To the school, with a minimum of 100 students in its student body, which has the highest percentage of students participating. In the event of a tie, the tie-breaker will be based upon the highest number of total points scored on the Web site by that school’s students, provided that the school has not previously won this prize in this category during this school year. If the school that has the highest percentage of students participating has previously won this prize in this school year, the winner of the prize will be the school with the second highest percentage of students participating. If there is a tie after the highest number of total points scored is determined, the next tie-breaker will be based on the school that had the first student playing a game in that Contest Segment.
2) To the school whose student scores the highest number of individual points on the Web site during that Contest Segment provided that the same student did not win this prize in the immediately preceding Contest Segment. If the student with the highest number of individual points did receive the award in the preceding Contest Segment, the award for this segment will go to the student with the next highest number of individual points in this Contest Segment. In the event of a tie, the tie-breaker will be based upon the highest combined total points scored by that student and by the student at the same school with the other highest number of individual points. If there is a tie after the highest combined total points scored by the two students is determined, the next tie-breaker will be based on the school that had the first student playing a game in that Contest Segment. Family members of employees of Clever Crazes for Kids are not eligible to win in the category of students who score the Highest Number of Individual Points on the Web site during any Contest Segment.
Two second place prizes of $3,000 each will be awarded at the end of each Contest Segment:
1) To the school, with a minimum of 100 students in its student body, which has the second highest percentage of students participating, provided that the same school did not win a prize in this percentage of participation category during this school year. If the school that has the second highest percentage of students participating has previously won a prize in this category during this school year, the winner of the prize will be the school with the third highest percentage of students participating. In the event of a tie, the tie-breaker will be based upon the highest number of total points scored by that school’s students. If there is a tie after the highest number of total points scored is determined, the next tie-breaker will be based on the school that had the first student playing a game in that Contest Segment.
2) To the school whose student scores the second highest number of individual points on the Web site during that Contest Segment. If the student with the second highest number of individual points has either won during the immediately preceding Contest Segment or has been declared the winner of the first prize for this Contest Segment due to the student scoring the highest number of points being ineligible to receive the first prize in two consecutive Contest Segments, the student with the next highest number of points will be declared winner of the second place prize In the event of a tie, the tie-breaker will be based upon the highest combined total points scored by that student and by the student at the same school with the other highest number of individual points. If there is a tie after the highest combined total points scored by the two students is determined, the next tie-breaker will be based on the school that had the first student playing a game in that Contest Segment. Family members of employees of Clever Crazes for Kids are not eligible to win in the category of students who score the Highest Number of Individual Points on the Web site during any Contest Segment.
Two third place prizes of $2,000 each will be awarded at the end of each Contest Segment:
1) To the school with a minimum of 100 students in its student body with the third highest percentage of students participating, provided that the same school did not win a prize in this percentage of participation category during this school year. If the school that has the third highest percentage of students participating has previously won a prize in this category during this school year, the winner of the prize will be the school with the fourth highest percentage of students participating. In the event of a tie, the tie-breaker will be based upon the highest number of total points scored on the Web site by that school's students. If there is a tie after the highest number of total points scored is determined, the next tie-breaker will be based on the school that had the first student playing a game in that Contest Segment.
2) To the school whose student scores the third highest number of individual points on the Web site during that Contest Segment. If the student with the third highest number of individual points has either won during the immediately preceding Contest Segment or has been declared the winner of the second prize for this Contest Segment due to the student scoring the highest number of points being ineligible to receive the second prize in two consecutive Contest Segments, the student with the next highest number of points will be declared winner of the third place prize. In the event of a tie, the tie-breaker will be based upon the highest combined total points scored by that student and by the student at the same school with the other highest number of individual points. If there is a tie after the highest combined total points scored by the two students is determined, the next tie-breaker will be based on the school that had the first student playing a game in that Contest Segment. Family members of employees of Clever Crazes for Kids are not eligible to win in the category of students who score the Highest Number of Individual Points on the Web site during any Contest Segment.
