Placegetters are given awards in the form of trophies and medallions. Every student's place contributes towards their school's overall score, with the winning school taking home the perpetual cup. Remember, although trophies and awards are symbols of success, the spirit of healthy competition, maturity and experience gained from the tournament are considered more valuable.
