Feedback |

When you submit your design to the contest website, you will receive instant feedback on your team's standing, with respect to all other teams that have submitted designs from your contest zone. If your score is in the current top 30 for your zone, your team name and school will be posted on our contest scoreboard.
If you are participating in a local contest, your team name will also be posted on a separate Local Contest Scoreboard. The URL of the Local Contest Scoreboard is http://bridgecontest.usma.edu/standings/local/######.htm, where ###### is the six-character Local Contest Code. |

At the
end of the contest, the top ten teams from
each contest zone will receive a certificate in honor of their achievement.
|
|
|
| Forming
a Team |
|
|
|
A
team can have no more than two members. For a team to
be eligible for recognition, both members must meet the contest
eligibility requirements.
If
you can't find a teammate, you may compete alone. However,
teams almost always perform better than individuals,
so we strongly recommend that you work with a teammate.
