Coaches
The Tournament Mission is to:
- Engage students with a variety of innovative technologies to help develop the 4 C’s of 21st Century Learning: Collaboration, Communication, Critical Thinking, and Creativity.
- Prepare teachers and students for the implementation of the Common Core Standards.
- Help teachers throughout the district infuse technology into their classrooms to enhance the learning environment of our students.
SCORING AND DIVISIONS
Each school may enter up to 5 teams into each event. All teams will be considered for individual awards for each event, however, only the best two teams from each school will be counted for the overall team sweepstakes.
The first-place team in each event will be awarded 10pts for their school, 2nd= 8pts, 3rd=6pts, 4th= 4pts, 5th=2pts, and 6th place will earn 1 point. Again, only the top two teams from each school will be considered for overall team scores and the other teams from that school will be removed from the rankings. Points from each event will be added together for overall team scores.
There will be two divisions to make the tournament more equitable for schools participating with fewer teams. Divisions will be based on the total number of events each team participates in per school (Example below):
| School A | 10 Teams total: | Total Events per team |
| 5 Teams are participating in 3 events each | 15 | |
| 3 Teams are participating in 4 events each | 12 | |
| 2 Teams are participating in 2 events each | 4 | |
| Total Events for School A | 31 |
Divisions will be split based on the median of all school totals. The highest totals above the median will be placed in Division 1 and the lowest totals below the median will be placed in Division 2. A school may opt to bump up to Division 1 if they choose. Awards and trophies will be passed out for each division.
Additionally, the tournament will be split into 4 categories: Robotics, Video, Coding, and Design. There will be team trophies awarded for each category, as well as the overall tournament. Click here for the 2023 TOT Handbook.
