In each age group (Elementary, Middle, High), competitors will receive points based on how they performed in the race bracket.
All teams' cars will be judged on a point scale. The team with the highest score in their respective design category (Best Theme, Best Use of Lab, Notebook Masters) will win that category. Points earned through the design competition will be added to the teams' race scores. The design competition will be weighed the same as both track races.
There will be 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners in each age group (Elementary, Middle, High) for each category (Main race, Challenge race, Design competition).
The team with the highest number of points in each age group will bring their car to the main track for the final race to determine the overall 5th Annual RC Car Grand Champion.
