There will be written questions at five of the five testing stations. Test questions will be taken from the information in the suggested references provided to coaches by the Envirothon Committee. During the competition, team members will work together to answer the test questions, completing one test and submitting it to the resource professional in charge of the station before moving on to the next station. The resource professional in charge of the testing station has final authority with respect to the test questions and answers. In the event of a tied score for first, second or third place, the team with the highest score on the Oral Presentation will be considered the winner.
Further rules are documented and available to determine winners in the event a tie still exists.
The state winner is eligible to compete at the Canon Envirothon. If the state winner cannot participate, the second place team may represent South Carolina in the international competition. In the event a procedural dispute or question arises that is not covered in this brochure or its addenda, the issue will be decided by a committee made up of the resource persons assigned to the testing stations and the Envirothon Coordinator. Cameras and video recorders, laptops, and tape recorders are prohibited in the vicinity of the testing stations. Allowances will be made in advance for the press.
