Event Selection Exam

The Events Selection Exam (選抜種目試験) is the last special exam for the 1st year students of Advanced Nurturing High School.

This is a test where students will be tested on their knowledge, physical ability, cooperation and even luck. In this exam, classes compete against each other in pairs, similar in this regard to the Paper Shuffle Special Exam.

Regarding the Events

 * Each class must select 10 well known events such as, but not limited to, rock paper scissors, poker, or chess. If an event included written exam questions or anything else of that nature, the school would provide the problems in order to maintain fairness.
 * All 10 events must be unique and have a set time-limit. The same class cannot register two identical events to the school.
 * Events cannot be retracted once they have been decided.
 * If a class is unable to finish the selection of the events before the deadline, the school would automatically pick events for them. Among the 10 events selected by a class, 5 of them must be selected as Official Events, events in which they actually want to compete, while the remaining 5 would be Fake-outs, made to deceive the opposing class. The paired classes will then compete against each other in 7 events that will be randomly selected by the school from the 10 total official events, submitted by both the classes.
 * The classes must come up with rules that ensure there would be no "tie" during the event. The rules should also describe the method in which a commander can intervene during the event.

Participation

 * The number of participants required for each of the ten proposed events must be different, excluding those acting as substitutes.
 * The minimum number of participants is one and the maximum number is twenty, including those acting as substitutes.
 * A class may not submit more than two events that require more than ten participants from a single class, including those acting as substitutes.
 * Each student can only participate in one event. However, if every student from a particular class has participated in an event, students from that class will be allowed to participate in more than one event.

Regarding the Commander

 * Every class must select a student as the commander, who would be present at the "command tower", the commander would be the one who would be responsible for selecting students for the events and can intervene in any of the events, effectively making them the leader.


 * The commander of the winning classes would receive private points while the commander of the losing classes would be expelled.


 * If a class failed to appoint a commander, a student would randomly be appointed as one by the school. Commander cannot be changed once chosen, without a legitimate reason.


 * The commanders from each class would assemble and draw a lottery. The winner of the lottery would get to decide the class they would compete against and thus they form a pair. The remaining two classes would also automatically form the other pair, i.e. if Class A won the lottery and chose to compete against Class B, Class A and Class B would form one pair, while Class C and Class D will form the other pair.

Rewards and Penalties

 * Each event is worth 30 Class Points, i.e. the winning class receives 30 points and the losing class has 30 points deducted. The class with more events won would be considered the winner and receive an additional 100 points. i.e. the maximum amount of Class Points that a class can earn in the special exam is 310 points. Also, the maximum points that can be lost in the special exam are 210.
 * If there were a shortage of Class Points in the losing class, the school would temporarily make up for the difference in number of points to be given to the winning class.

Match ups

 * Class 1-D won the lottery and chose to compete against Class 1-B
 * Class 1-A goes against Class 1-C
 * Class 1-B goes against Class 1-D
