House Doctrine

Tracking Attendance at Events

• Students will receive a google form to complete each month. The google form will be emailed on the first business day of the month, unless otherwise noted. The form will also be available on the Google Drive titled “House Model”. This folder will be shared with the house members.
• House members must submit their attendance no later than one week after the attendance form has been sent.  
• Events that track their own attendance will supply a list of attendees. This will be utilized to track points, students will not have to submit attendance separately.

Amending this Document

• Amendments and additions to the House Points Doctrine should be addressed and voted on by the cabinet. A 51% majority must vote for any proposed changes.
• Changes that involve additions to include new events or new categories may take place immediately.

Approving Special Events for Points

• Members of the community may submit proposals for events to be added to the point doctrine. Proposals should be presented on the form found here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScWsuvm26umff-k5HfAmleSFo0LUVVHAx_EboSFdxDitB059A/viewform?usp=sf_link at least one week in advance of the event. All fields of the form must be completed for an event to be reviewed.
• The event should be advertised to the CVM community.

Tie Breakers

• Ties between houses will not be broken for individual events. If houses tie for individual events, the points for both places will be split between the two houses. For example, if two houses tie for first place, they will split the points for 1st and 2nd place. If two houses tie for 2nd place, they will split the points for 2nd and 3rd place. If two houses tie for 3rd place, they will split the points for 3rd and 4th place.
• Ties will be broken for the individual house winner at the end of the year. Tie breaker is to be determined.

Normalizing House Points

• If needed, the normalizing procedure will be applied at the end of the year to tally results.

Normalized Points = _________Points_________ * Normalized Population

                                             House Population

Normalized Population = _____Total population of the House System community____

Population Information

Semester-by semester, population numbers should be kept and recorded by the Cabinet Historian. This person should keep track of the changing population numbers of each house and how these numbers may affect the normalization of House Points.
