Cote: Elite in Action

"The success is not the result of spontaneous combustion. You must ignite yourself." — Arnold H. Glasow

"Good morning, everyone!" Hoshinomiya exclaimed, entering the classroom with enthusiasm.

"Well, as you already know, we're about to enter an important time of the semester: the sports festival. Over the next month, we'll be doing more physical activities to prepare. But most importantly, I'd like to give you a sheet that explains how everything will work and what's really at stake," concluded Hoshinomiya-sensei.

A few days ago, we were informed about the arrival of the sports festival, and while some of my classmates were excited about the event because they enjoyed these types of activities, others weren't as enthusiastic due to their limited physical abilities.

For my part, my first thought was: 'Is this another special exam?' However, since it's presented as a 'sports festival' rather than a special exam, it seems that it isn't. Remembering the explanation from the last exam, Chabashira-sensei mentioned three fundamental aspects: 'teamwork,' which was the island exam; 'thinking,' which was the zodiac exam; and now 'action,' which seems to evaluate our physical abilities.

As Sensei finished distributing the explanation sheets, I began to read them carefully.

OFFICIAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SPORTS FESTIVAL

Class Points 

The performance of your class in the sports festival will directly affect your class points. These points are crucial in determining the ranking of each class within the school. Depending on the final position in the festival, points will be awarded or deducted as follows:

1st place: The class will earn 50 class points. 

2nd place: No changes (neither gain nor loss of points). 

3rd place: The class will lose 50 class points.

 4th place: The class will lose 100 class points. It is essential for the well-being and future of your class to avoid falling into the last places, as losing class points can affect your overall position and the resources you receive.

Private Points

 In addition to class points, students who excel in the competitions can earn private points. These points are a currency within the school and can be used to buy products or services or to improve academic performance.

The rewards for individual competition positions are as follows:

1st place: 5,000 private points or the equivalent of 3 points on a written exam. 

2nd place: 3,000 private points or the equivalent of 2 points on a written exam. 

3rd place: 1,000 private points or the equivalent of 1 point on a written exam.

Impact on Academic Performance 

Private points can also be used to improve your grades on written exams. If you choose this option, you can add extra points to your final grades. This can be key for those who need to improve their academic performance. Remember that exam points are not transferable between student's 

Rules and Requirements Mandatory Participation: All students must participate in the assigned competitions. Absence or lack of participation will result in a penalty for your class.
