FALL INDUCTIONS 2023 RULEBOOK 13

 (c) To calculate ranks, the raw Memorial score of participants (on the basis of which

system shall be employed.
ARTICLE XXVIII: THE PERCENTILE SYSTEM
(a) For the purpose of calculation of ranks, the Percentile system shall be employed to evaluate
Memorial scores.
(b) The Percentile system attempts to moderate scores across different pools of judges. In
order to do so, the following formula will be employed:
Memorial Percentile of X = (Memorial Score of X/Highest Score Provided to a Memorial
in the Pool) * 100
Illustration: X’s raw Memorial score is 70 out of 100. The highest score given in X’s pool
of Memorials was 80 out of 100. Memorial Percentile of X = (70/80) * 100 = 87.5.
ARTICLE XXIX: FINAL CALCULATION
(a) The Final Score shall provide an 70% weightage to each participant’s Oral Score and a
30% weightage to each participant’s Memorial Percentile.
(b) The Final Score of each participant shall be calculated as follows:
Final Score of X = (Memorial Percentile of X * 0.3) + (Oral Score of X * 0.7) Illustration:
X’s Memorial Percentile is 87.5. X’s Oral Score is 90. X’s Final Score = (87.5 * 0.3) + (90
* 0.7) = 89.25
ARTICLE XXX: TIE-BREAKING
(a) In the event of a tie where two or more participants’ Final Score is equal, but Memorial
Percentile and Oral Score are differing, the participant(s) with the higher Oral Score shall
be given a higher rank.

Percentile, and each component of the Oral Score are equal, the participant with the higher
raw Memorial score shall be given a higher rank.

 (d) In the event of a tie where two or more participants’ Final Score, Oral Score, Memo
Percentile, each component of the Oral Score, and raw memo score is equal, a coin toss
