What is it?

The Hazlerigg Rutland house system groups a number of students together according to which block they reside in. There are four houses; Block A, Block B, Block C, Block D and Elvyn Block 50. The students within those blocks can earn house points through active participation or personal and team achievement within hall activities. House points are awarded by members of the committee at the weekly meeting. The house points are then transferred into the Hazlerigg Rutland House Table, where the houses are arranged in descending order of total house points. The House Table is updated weekly after the committee meeting on Sunday evenings. Points are awarded according to the following guidelines

Area	House Points Awarded	Comments
IMS Supporter	2	For each member of Rigg Rut that attends an IMS match of any sport to support the Rigg Rut team, 2 points are awarded to their house.
IMS Player	3	For each member of Rigg Rut that attends an IMS match of any sport to play for the Rigg Rut team, 3 points are awarded to their house.
RAG Raid Participation	3	For each member of Rigg Rut who attends a RAG Raid, their house will be awarded 3 house points. Where RAG Raids are more than 50 miles away from the postcode LE113TZ and/or demand an overnight stay away from Rigg Rut, bonus house points up to a maximum of 3 per person may be awarded at the committeeÕs discretion.

Discrentionary Points	1-10	The committee may decide to award house points for areas not described within this table. The minimum number of points they can award is 1 per Rigg Rut resident, and the maximum is 10 per Rigg Rut resident. Such instances must be decided before an event take placed and advertised to hall members before the event takes place.

House Table

The Hazlerigg Rutland House Table will take the following format:

House Captains

Each house shall elect a house captain. The house captain will have the duty to rally fellow house-members and to encourage participation in Hall events. The house captain must not sit on the committee and will have no committee powers once elected. The house captain must be a Hazlerigg Rutland resident but does not have to be resident in the block to which he/she is campaigning to be house captain. He/She does not require a proposer or to be seconded.

House Captains

Due to the uneven number of residents in each block, house points shall be weighted to reflect their true value in terms of house contribution to hall life. In the example house table below, every house has scored the same number of points across the board. The total number of points per house is then divided by the number of students in that house to give an average of points per house resident. This is then multiplied by 100 to provide a more user-friendly integer. In the example below, house E50 will be the winning house due to the applied weighting.

Recognition and Reward

The house that finishes in top position of the Hazlerigg Rutland league table on the penultimate Sunday to the end of the fresherÕs year will be declared the winning house for that year. They shall have their house name inscribed on the house trophy along with their house captainÕs name, which will be presented at an awards ceremony on the last week of the fresherÕs year. The winning house will also receive a mystery award to reward their achievement. The house captain will also be rewarded individually for their achievement in a form proposed by the committee.
