Sweepstakes
The sweepstakes system
has been thoroughly revised for 2012. Please look over it carefully.
Houstonfest uses the same system of awarding
sweepstakes points as State. There are two sweepstakes categories:
Large School (5A) and Small School (4A and lower). Sweepstakes points are
awarded for first through tenth place in each event, which means that even
students who place tenth are contributing sweepstakes points to their school's
cause. The table below shows how sweepstakes points are awarded.
