Competition Never Hurts  To promote competition between my classes…  I rank my classes just like  The Coaches Poll in NCAA Football or  The Associated Press (AP) Poll in NCAA Basketball  Each class has a team name that was chosen from history:  Military Squadrons of the Continental Army in the American Revolution

How It Works  You have 5 Days (Friday to Thursday)  By doing things like:  Entering class PROFESSIONALLY and SILENTLY  Getting started IMMEDIATELY on Warm-up  Participating POSITIVELY in class  Being PREPARED for class (with ALL MATERIALS)  Being RESPECTFUL, CIVIL, and POLITE (NOT talking out of turn, randomly screaming, or yelling, and by sitting professionally  You earn points toward your weekly (and yearly) total

The Points  At the end of every day, the classes will be ranked on how well they performed and conducted themselves:  First Place: 50 Points  Second Place: 40 Points  Third Place: 30 Points  Fourth Place: 20 Points  Fifth Place: 10 Points  Bonuses are awarded for not setting off the noise meter!  The class that leads at the end of the day Thursday wins for the week

Just Win, Baby!  Winning a week:  Gets you the championship advantage as your class will start the new week ranked first…  But BEWARE the Winner’s Curse  The weekly totals are used to calculate the YEARLY TOTALS  The team with the most points at the end of the year MAY get a prize in June…
