YOU determine whether the STAR Event experience is a positive or negative one for our competitors.
Here is what you can do to help make a positive impact:

5. STEP 1: Prepare for your Event
Print & read complete event guidelines and
rubric from:
fcclainc.org/content/star-events/

6. ASK QUESTIONS
If something in the Event Guidelines or Rubric needs clarification... Do not hesitate to ask
At the Chapter Level, ask the Chapter Adviser
At the Regional or State Level, ask the Lead Consultant for your event.

Familiarize yourself with any forms you have been given
Write the team member names and chapter on the top of
the rubric

Take notes
Think about questions to ask – ask similar questions to each team to be fair

10. STEP 5: AFTER PRESENTATION
Ask any clarifying questions to the competitor/s
WHEN THE INDIVIDUAL/TEAM
HAS LEFT THE ROOM
Score ONLY on the criteria not on personal characteristics or their personal story
If you take away a point, give a comment/reason

11. RUBRIC

Comments also go in the “POINTS” column

12. On the last page of the Rubric
total the points
Use a calculator to check your math
Don’t forget to initial each rubric.

13. STEP 6: DISCUSS WITH EVALUATORS
Make sure you do NOT have more than a 10 point difference between the 3 evaluator totals.
IF YOU HAVE A 10+ POINT DIFFERENCE
Discuss your scores for consistency
Maybe someone missed one of the criteria points in the presentation.
Re-adjust your score so you do not have the 10+ point difference

14. STEP 7: FEEDBACK
Bring the individual/team back in the competition room.
Give GENERAL Feedback
Tell them what you liked about their presentation
Tell them where they could make improvements
Do NOT tell them their score
Do NOT tell them whether or not they will advance
Keep ALL scoring information confidential until after the awards session

If your point total was not 90+ the individual/team will not advance to State.
If it was your intent that the presentation should move to State, then the point total needs to be 90+.
At the Regional level, if the presentation could be State quality with minor improvements, then you will need to adjust the points. Ask your Lead Consultant for advice.
