Structure and Scoring
Schools nominate 5 students (13 – 15 yrs) and a teacher to participate in the 5-day event. Teams participate in a series of tasks with opportunities to earn points or invite penalties. Most activities have objective scoring measurable in time, distance, length or other units. Subjective scoring for performances like skits, music and campfire tasks is done by neutral judges. Scoring for all activities is shared in advance. The team with the maximum cumulative points wins the inme Challenge.
