This article walks you through assigning and presenting awards in VEX Classroom Games. By the end, you'll have chosen award winners, printed certificates, and presented the awards to your class.
Every event has an Awards tab, and these steps are the same for every game.
Choosing Award Winners
From your event, select the Awards tab.
The awards are listed in rank order, with the highest award at #1.
Select the up or down arrows to change an award’s rank.
Awards are presented in countdown order, ending with the #1 award.
Select a team from the menu next to each award.
The top award is filled in automatically with the winner, such as the team with the highest score or fastest time. You can still choose a different team.
To give an award to an Alliance in games such as Level Up or Override, select the second team from the Alliance partner menu.
Both teams share one certificate, such as Iron Eagles + Robo Rams. Leave the menu set to None to give the award to one team.
To remove an award you won’t be giving, select Delete.
The award is removed right away, without a confirmation.
To add your own award, enter a name in the Custom award name field, then select Add award.
The new award is added to the bottom of the list, where you can rank it and choose a winner.
Printing Certificates
Select Preview certificates.
You’ll see one certificate for each award, showing the winner, the game, and the date.
Select Print certificates.
For the best results, print in landscape with margins set to none and background graphics turned on.
Presenting Awards
Select Open class display, then show it on a projector or classroom screen.
The awards are presented on the class display.
Select Start awards.
The class display shows the first award in countdown order.
Announce the award shown on the class display.
The winner stays hidden until you reveal it, so you can build suspense.
Select Reveal winner.
If you reveal a winner too soon, select Hide winner to hide it again.
Congratulate the winners shown on the class display.
An award given to an Alliance shows both teams together.
Select Next award, and repeat until you reach the #1 award.
To go back, select Previous award, or choose any award from the Award to present menu.
When you’re done, select Show standings.
The class display returns to the match timer and standings.
Select Finish event to mark the event as completed.
Finishing locks the scores. Select Reopen event if you need to change them.
