Overview

1) Teams will be comprised of 1-4 members. (No fractional members, please.)
2) Each team will attempt to complete as close to events as possible.
3) Each event will be scored using a point system.
4) Any event score can count as positive OR negative.  For example, your team has 320 points. If you complete 6 basic math problems you can subtract 6 from 320 giving you 314.
5) 100 points represents a complete event, even if those points are earned via multiple events.
6) The team to score closest to 100 points will be the winner.
7) Teams may suggest alternate scorings to the moderators of an event, but the moderators have final say regarding scoring.

EVENTS

Just Dance 2

1) Any number of team members may participate.
2) At the end of the song, each member will have a percent score.  Any number of these scores can be added or subtracted in any manner to obtain the points earned, and the scores can be taken as a full percent OR a decimal value.  Teams will want to figure out which scores they want to use and how they wish to combine them carefully. 

           
Example: My team scores 15%, 56%, 72% and 21%.  We choose to use the 15%, 56%, and 21%.  We take as our score 56-15-0.21=40.79 points.
