Requirement to Guarantee Accuracy of Scoring and Completionof the Sessions Work: For every Thirty(30) student papers submitted by adistrict/building, one (1) scorer MUST register for the session.(i.e., A district/building submits to a session 35 papersprocedure requires thedistrict/building to send two (2) scorers. Should another district/building submit 75student papersprocedure requires send three (3) scorers. If you submit 14 student

papersprocedure requires one (1) scorer.)

While this may appear stringent, the more scorers the sooner the scoring completes,and believe it or not, the more accurate the scoring, due to less fatigue.
