Inter-Platoon First Aid/Evacuation Competition

Hi guys! As mentioned before, there will be an Inter-platoon first aid/evacuation held this term.

Date: Term 2 Week 9 Monday (18th May 2009)
Time: During training
What to bring: 2 bandages per person

This inter-platoon competition will have a large amount of points to earn, totalling up to a maximum of 300 and a possible bonus 30.
However, since this is a inter-platoon competition, individual proficiency in first aid and evacuation alone would not win the inter-platoon competition for your platoon.
The attendance of the platoon would be taken into account.
The attendance of each platoon would be expressed as a percentage, and the final amount of points a platoon would obtain is determined by multiplying this percentage with the platoon’s raw score from the various activities.

For example, Platoon A has 10 people and 8 people turned up for the inter-platoon competition and would thus have an 80% attendance rate.
During the competition, they earned 250 points.
Thus, the total amount of platoon points Platoon A would earn from the inter-platoon competition would be as follows:
250 x 80%/100% = 200
Platoon A would then earn 200 platoon points from this inter-platoon competition.

This is a good opportunity for any platoon to widen the gap or catch up with the platoons, so do prepare well for the inter-platoon competition.

On a side note, the higher the placing you get from the inter-platoon competition, the bigger a present you get! (no it has nothing to do with the platoon points)
