Frequently Asked Questions What is YOFEST? YOFEST is a week of friendly competition and fun for all clubs and organizations on campus. YOFEST is designed to celebrate the diversity of club life at Appalachian State and aims to connect all of the student groups through games and activities. Throughout the week, registered clubs and organizations will compete in events to earn points. At the end of the week, all of the points from the competition nights, service project, and photo contest will be totaled. The organization or club with the most points will be awarded the title of the “Best of YOFEST 2014”. Who else is involved in YOFEST?

Monday February 17, 2014 “Claim Your Fames at the Luau Games� Game Show Night Co-sponsored by BSA 7-9 p.m. in APH Magnolia Ballroom The host will announce the challenges to the contestant teams and they will have a chance to choose an individual from their organization to compete. There will be 6 stations going on at the same time, with two judges at each station to watch while the host commentates. We will do as many rounds as necessary to make sure that each organization has a chance to compete. Points will be issued based on how many challenges are completed as well as who completes the task in the shortest amount of time. We will determine how many rounds are needed based on how many clubs are going to compete. A maximum of 6 clubs will be competing at a time and a minimum of 30 minutes is needed for the teams to complete the entire round. Each team will be given 5 minutes at each station (time to have an explanation of the game, decide who will compete, then compete). Each club will be given a sheet to help keep track of their time and points. Teams must turn in this sheet at the end for tallying. Points: Each team receives 5 points for every person that they have participating. For each challenge that is completed, the team will receive 1 point per challenge. If the challenge is completed in less than one minute, they will receive 3 points for that challenge. The team that completes the challenge the quickest will receive 5 points for that challenge. The team that completes the course the quickest will receive an additional 10 points.
The points will be translated into first, second, and third place. Clubs and organizations will then be awarded according to the official YOFEST points system.
