Bucks and MK 'in school' Interschool Cup is now LIVE!
Schools compete against other schools in a physical activity and try to complete the challenge in as little time as possible/ with the highest score. Each of the schools will get pupils to do the same activity over the time period and record scores accordingly. Schools will submit a result to a central recipient. The school with the most points at the end of the week, are deemed as the winners for that activity but all those who enter will gain points in the overall standings. These points will contribute towards an overall table to eventually declare an ‘In School Inter School Cup’ winner. Scores and participation entrant details will be extracted from a google form attached to each challenge. Each week will have a new challenge for different age groups for schools to enter and complete in.

Activities:
There will be a different activity each week and will be for a different age group each time. There will be 7 weeks and 7 different activities spread across the weeks. These will be activities that are physically active, away from a screen and are to be completed in schools. They are simple to complete as well as having an easy set up and an accompanying explanation resource for your understanding. There is no limit to how many times they can be attempted but only 1 entrance per group on the google form.
Data Collection:
Scores will be entered into a Google Form with SGOs to manipulate the data from there. There will also be the usual YST questions about BAME and SEND participants within this Google Form.
Scoring System:
Schools who enter scores will be placed into ranking order for that week based on their score for that activity. This will in turn generate a placing and give points for that week. Teams will get a placement and then score the reciprocal points based on how many teams enter. For example: If 10 schools enter, the team that comes first will receive 10 points, second will get 9, so on and so forth. These weekly points will then be fed into the overall league which will run over the entire time frame. After 7 weeks of activities, we will have our final table and crown the winners of the competition.
Each week, the weekly results as well as the overall standings will be sent out to schools.
Time Frame to Complete Challenges:
Activities will be live for 1 week, Mon to Mon 5pm. SGOs will send out the activities prior to the commencement of that activity. Competition data entrances to be entered and submitted into the relevant google form at the earliest convenience of staff. Strict submission deadline of Monday 5pm of week after the activity has closed off. After this deadline, the google form will be closed and entrances will not contribute towards the standings.
Competition:
This will be entire school vs entire school but the actual challenges will be targeted at specific years. You will be playing against the rest of the league/schools entered each week across the county. Schools do not need to enter each week and are able to select which weeks they contribute towards.
I hope this makes the competition understandable and I hope to see many of your entries in the coming weeks. If there is anything that is unclear or confusing, please do get in touch.
