Scoring and Rewards
The Silver and Gold points will be scored by the SAAC advisor. All sheets must be turned into the advisor and take into account what is posted on the Official Facebook site for SAAC. The team with the most points will receive $500, Second place will receive $300, and Third place will receive $100. This money may be spent in any way they choose, but must go through a SAAC Officer, representative or advisor. This ward will be known at the end of the year and the Silver and Goldspy’s event and be cut off the week before the event, so the advisor has time to count up all the points.
