"Rising Star" Rules
1.
The "Rising Star" award is intended to recognize and honor the
eligible DSS club member who has demonstrated the most improvement as a
stereographer. This will be
determined by comparing the number of ribbons won in the current season's
monthly club competitions against the number of ribbons won by that member
during the most recent previous full season.
The member with the greatest increase in ribbons won shall be declared
the winner of the club's "Rising Star" award.
2. A ‘full season’ is defined as
one where the member has earned at least 10 points in the club competitions. See
the ‘Scoring and Awards’ section for point allocations (page 20, item #2).
3.
The winner must have won a minimum of 4 ribbons in the current season.
4. Life Members and previous or
current winners of the Helin (or High Point) Award are not eligible for this
award.
5. If a member has previously won
this award, their ribbons won in the current season must be compared to their
highest ribbon total for all prior
years of participation in club competitions.
6. In case of a tie, the award will
go to the member who has not previously won this award.
If there is still a tie, the award goes to that person with the highest
total number of ribbons in the current season.
Billy Turner "Best Premiere" Rules
1. The Billy Turner "Best Premiere" award is
intended to honor and recognize the new DSS club member who has earned the
highest number of points in the first season in which they submit images to the
club competition.
2. If the member did not start submitting images until after the first competition of the year,
he/she may be eligible either that year or in their first full season in the
club. [Example: a member joining the competitions in November 2014 and submitting slides in
the 2014-2015 season would also be eligible in the 2015-2016 season.]
3. The award may not be won more than once by any one member.
4. In case of a tie in points, the award will go to the member with higher
points in ribbons, or if that is also equal, the member with the most ribbons in
the highest award category either has obtained.
Example: John and Jane both submit 10 images during the year (one point is given
for each submitted image in addition to any ribbon points). Here are their
scores:
John's Ribbons |
Jane's Ribbons |
Two 2nd Place = 8 points |
Three Second Place = 12 points |
Two 3rd Place = 6 points |
No 3rd Place = 0 points |
Two Hon Mention = 4 points |
Three Hon Mention = 6 point |
Total Ribbon Points = 18 points |
Total Ribbon Points = 18 points |
Total Points = 28 points |
Total Points = 28 points |
In this case because they are tied in total
points and ribbon points, the tie breaker is the number of 2nd Place ribbons
they each won (Jane is the award winner).
