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 earns their organization 10 points. You are not limited in the number of donors for your organization. The first 15 donors for each organization count toward participation points, for a maximum of 150 participation points. Any additional donors beyond the first 15 still count toward the organization’s overall score and final ranking for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place.
• An additional 5 points will be awarded to donors who sign up at least 24 hours in advance. These points only will contribute toward determining first, second and third place. A 5 point deduction will be made for donors who do not show up for their registered times. 
• Each volunteer earns their organization 5 points per hour, with a maximum of 3 hours per volunteer. The first 10 volunteers for each organization count toward volunteer points, for a maximum of 150 volunteer points. Additional volunteers beyond the first 10 will still count toward the organization’s overall score and final ranking for 1st, 2nd, or 3rd 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.
