QUALIFYING PROCESS
A. Academic Award Entry Form — A school must submit academic award information on this form.
B. Deadline — Academic Award Entry Forms must be submitted no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Tuesday prior to the start of the respective State Championship event.
C. School Transcript Analysis
• Counting Courses — Count every course that a student has listed on his/her report card except those that are on a pass/fail basis.
• Semester — In computing the team GPA, use only the GPA students earned during the semester prior to the semester in which the respective Championship Event is conducted.
• Ineligible GPAs — Cumulative, Quarter or Mid-Term GPAs should not be considered.
• Freshmen — For new 9th grade students, do not include until the beginning of the second semester.

COMPUTING TEAM G.P.A.
A. Student Grade Point Average — For each course listed for a team member, multiply the point value of the grade by the number of semester credits received for the course. A 4.0 GPA system must be used — A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0, incomplete is considered an F until made up. If a student’s GPA is above 4.0 due to advanced placement courses, it will be considered as 4.0, since not all schools use this grading system. Disregard pluses and minuses. Do not count courses on the report card if they are graded on a pass/fail basis.

Course	Credit	Grade	Point Value	Total
Math	1	B	1 x 3	3
Science	1	A	1 x 4	4
P.E.	1/2	A	1/2 x 4	2
History	1	C	1/2	2
French	1	D	1×1	1
Physics	1	B	1×3	3
Total	5.5			15

Student GPA
15 ÷ 5.5 = 2.7272

B. Team Grade Point Average — Compute team average by adding all team member GPAs and then dividing by the number of team members. Example — Tom GPA – 2.73; Dick GPA – 3.13; Harry GPA – 3.46; Sam GPA – 3.25.
Total of individual team member GPAs = 12.57

Team GPA
12.57 ÷ 4 = 3.142
