WHO CAN PARTICIPATE

Any student, staff, and faculty who is eligible to donate blood. 

For the Competition Points and Volunteer Points, there four divisions:

• Fraternities
• Sororities
• Recognized Student Organizations (RSOs)
• Residence Halls
   

POINT ALLOCATION

• First, second and third place winners are based on overall participation in the blood drive, including the total number of both donors and volunteers. 
• Each donor will earn that donor's organization 10 points. Each organization is not limited to the number of donors. The first 15 donors for each organization will count toward total participation points. Additional donors, beyond the initial 15, will count only toward the overall scoring in determining first, second and third place. 
• An additional three points will be awarded to donors who sign up. These points only will contribute toward determining first, second and third place. To enact these "bonus points," one must sign up a day in advance and show up at the time the individual registered for. A three-point deduction will be made for donors who do not show up for their registered times. 
• Each volunteer will earn their organization three points per hour they volunteer. Each volunteer is limited to a total of three hours, and each organization is limited to 10 total volunteers. Additional volunteers will count only toward overall scoring in determining first, second and third place. 
• Donors and volunteers may attribute their points toward two, non-competing organizations. For example, a donor may sign up for points to go to both an RSO and a residence hall, or RSO and a Greek chapter. 
• Signing up for two competition organizations (like two RSOs) will result in zero points for that donor or volunteer.
