How the Giveaway Works!

Each Greek Week team is being asked to provide a gift basket that will be used in the giveaway that will happen during Greek Week.

There are price brackets which will determine the amount of points that your team can receive for Greek Week by participating in this philanthropy event. The points are awarded by how much money your gift basket is worth. To receive points for Greek Week, your team must provide receipts for all items in your gift basket. These baskets have to be appropriate and cannot contain alcohol/liquor, tobacco products, or anything that would be deemed inappropriate. (If you have to ask if it is appropriate, then it is probably not…) The Point Brackets are as follows:

to a standing position after each fall. • If a judge suspects a team is deliberately falling repeatedly, the team will be subject to

disqualification. • No metal spikes may be worn. All shoes will be inspected at check-in. • When walking up to the rope Do Not touch the rope. You will be instructed when you

• Once the 4-3-2 formation is set and stable the 10th member will be signaled to run. • The tenth person will be allowed to start their approach outside the coned area when

signaled by the starter, as long as they are behind the starting line. This means the player must run outside and around the cone.

• Once the person is on top of the pyramid, the pyramid must be set and stable for five seconds with all hands and knees stable before dismantling as determined by an official

• The judges will then signal for the team to dismantle the pyramid. • Every official will have a stopwatch to time the person on the top of the pyramid. • If the team has a false start for one heat, the other heat can be used to count for points.

ATTEMPTS:

taken. • Each team will run the pyramid with other chapters at the same time, and will have two

attempts.

• If the pyramid falls, the team can rebuild the pyramid from where they are, but their time will continue.

• If the 10th teammate does not run outside of the cone it will be an automatic disqualification.

end on the ground and spin around a total of 10 times. --A judge will let you know if a spin did not count
