Welcome to the new SGIS Handbook
AWARD CEREMONY & TROPHIES
Presentation of the medals and trophies should be made immediately after the completion of the final game at an area.
Where possible, no team should leave the competition facilities before the presentation of the awards. Teams unable to follow this request are required to have prior permission of the Competition Organiser.
For all SGIS individual sports such as Skiing, Swimming, Cross Country and track and field, medals will be given for the top three finishers in each event and category (gold, silver, and bronze). A trophy may be awarded to the winning team in each category.
For competitions of 6 or more teams, medals should be purchased for teams finishing in 1st, 2nd and 3rd places and a trophy must be given to the first place team, as well as the most Team Spirit & Fairplay Award.
