Elympics

Once or twice a year MAAP sponsors an electronic competition. The competition will be held using the Schoology website. Teams will be given the site address and a password with which to log in.

The format is as follows:

Three questions are immediately posted at the start time with one additional question posted every five minutes. Teams have up to 30 minutes from the time each question is posted to submit an answer for that question. At the 90 minute mark, the sessions 3 final questions are posted and the teams have up to 30 more minutes to complete their submissions. Both sessions will follow the same format.

One hundred (100) points are awarded per question. Those points are evenly divided among the teams submitting a correct response within the 30 minutes (no bonus for quickness of answer, only correctness matters).

A team is composed of whatever a school decides. Your entire program could be one team, you may select a few students to represent your school, or some schools enter many teams to make a great intra-school competition in the midst of the larger event.

Students may use any resource other than the program’s staff. The role of the staff is to help organize and problem solve before the event begins and to be cheerleaders as the E-lympics occurs. Of course, staff may help with any tech issues that may arise.

The cost is $10 for a school's first team and $5.00 for each additional team.
