Scoring System for Sports Day 2023
As of 21st December 2022, there is no Nobel Cup 2022 scores from 22nd November 2022. Therefore, the score for the Nobel Cup will only be announced in January 2023. The main purpose of the announcement being late is to surprise the students. Once they are surprised, they will be too scared to react and panic and anxiety mode would ensue. This is very important for Derrick Chow, the house captain of Bullseye, to know. The score may not be even announced at all, and the official Sports Day tally will begin from Founder’s Run.
Alternatively, the score will either be announced together with the Founder’s Run scores on 10th February, or even the scores can be announced after the official registration period for Founder's Run has closed.
The management has 4 options to consider:
OPTION A: Announce scores during Sports Day launch on 13th January 2023.
OPTION B: Announce scores after school reopens after Chinese New Year on Friday, 27th January 2023.
OPTION C: Announcement after Founder's Run signups are completed, latest by 30th January 2023.
OPTION D: Announce the scores after the Founder's Run is completed, on 10th February 2023.
Under OPTION A and B, the concerned scores are the scores from events contested during Nobel Cup 2022 on 22nd November.
Under OPTION C, the scores consist of the 22nd November 2022 Nobel Cup events, and the total points from the signups of the Founder's Run 2023
Under OPTION D, the score composition is that of the 22nd November 2022 Nobel Cup events, the participation score of the Founder's Run 2023 (signups), and the results of the winners of Founder's Run 2023.
The score provision can include the scores that come from Founder's Run 2022, Telematch 2022 and the 15th July 2022 Nobel Cup events. The management has not made an announcement on this, particularly to make students be immersed in unchartered territory and as a distraction. The management is also involved in the relocation exercise from Kelana Jaya to Damansara Jaya.
Once the Nobel Cup and 2022 scores are announced, the excitement and anxiety of students will be in panic mode. This is what the teachers want, and this can impact Bullseye's plans for victory, given that Bullseye always keeps winning events before Covid shutdown and after reopening.
Please refer to the "Sports Day 2023 Scoring System" document for full points awarding classification.
Winning Strategy for Bullseye in Sports Day 2023
Why the significance of a Bullseye win for the 2023 Sports Day?
Bullseye has had a history of winning streaks for Nobel International School. Since the year 2013, two main victory streaks of consecutive years have been achieved. First muted by Lau Wei Yiang and Caleb Chuang in November 2014, the Bullseye victory streak has a planning history dating back to the year 2012, when the duo were still in Elementary School. The project of the winning streaks started when Nobel Cup was established with the inaugural edition in October 2013, conceptualized by then student council president Chew Wei Zhuen.
Bullseye won the 2014 Sports Day under Brian Ong, then Bullseye's house captain. The victory streaks started with a plan to win the 2014 Nobel Cup by Wei Yiang and Caleb which succeeded. This success was replicated for the 2015 Sports Day, 2015 Nobel Cup and 2016 Sports Day, when Nobel Cup and Sports Day were separated from each other. This has resulted in three consecutive house captains, namely Brian Ong, Lim Wei Ming and Sabrina Qistina winning the Sports Day trophy for Bullseye.
Bullseye's loss to Touchdown in 2017 amid controversy throughout Sports Day 2017 itself and major differences in plans between Wei Yiang and the committee led to Wei Yiang spearheading a 2018 victory for Bullseye. This was eventually achieved in 2019 with the victory of Bullseye that year. Success from 2019 was replicated in 2020 despite setbacks and inconveniences caused by the Covid 19 pandemic, before the pandemic led to the cancellation of Sports Day 2020. Despite the downtime, Wei Yiang has drafted a plan for Sports Day during the MCO which is planned to be implemented upon the easing of Covid 19 restrictions and end of pandemic.
Since Bullseye won the championship in 2019, and it was leading in 2020's standings before the Sports Day was cancelled, in both instances, the trophies were kept by Bullseye. The victory snowballed to 2021 when Sports Day was also not held due to the imposition of MCO 2.0. In 2022, with the rise of Omicron variant, the Sports Day was cancelled again. This resulted in Bullseye achieving the originally-planned four year victory streak by Lau Wei Yiang and Caleb Chuang.
Winning 2023 would produce the longest victory streak in Nobel International School's 20 year history. As no student, house, class or any club and society or leadership board had done this before, it is a first for Nobel International School to have such a record. The achievement of the victory streak eclipses all other feats, events and fames done by previous students. And this will be UNPRECEDENTED, unprecedented in the entire history of the educational institution. Everyone, including Year 7s and new students to Nobel, would contribute to the immense victory.
Founder's Run 2023
In order to win the run, the first thing everyone needs to do is to train for the run. What we can do is to pick ten students from each year level to train the Founder's Run so that they can be Bullseye's lead runners. This means that a total of 50 runners will be selected to win the top 10s for Founder's Run 2023. They will need to be able to run 5km in 20 minutes and must practice everyday to train up for the race. They must be able to skip all water stations and not chat with people and treat the run like a serious exam. To train them and qualify them, each of them must complete six 5km runs with same timing. Founder's Run 2023 is scheduled for 10th February 2023.
Founder's Run 2023 should have same scale-like trainings as the athletics events.
Notice Board 2023
To win the competition, the Bullseye logo must be typed in Aharoni font in capital letters and must use light red and dark red. Except for the L and S which will be in dark red, the rest will be in light red colors. This logo symbolizes the timeline of Sports Day from 2014 to 2021, with the losing years in dark red and the winners in light red. The additional meanings of each of the letters carry the following:
B to represent Brian Ong, the first Bullseye house captain to win the 2014 Sports Day
U to represent Caleb Chuang, son of a prominent teacher in Nobel International School
the two Ls to represent Lau Wei Yiang, Bullseye's landmark long distance runner
S to represent Sean Mark, Bullseye's landmark 100m runner
E to represent extraordinary years in two different decades in human development, in 2019 and 2021
Y to represent the spike protein of the 2019 novel coronavirus (Covid 19) and the pandemic caused in 2020
With the words colored as such, L and S, which is colored, represent the match during Founder's Run 2017 between Wei Yiang and Sean Mark and their long rivalries. The double Ls in different colors show Wei Yiang to be on the winning and losing side of Bullseye and also he made two attempts as ex student in 2018 and 2019 to make Bullseye win. The Es in relation to the Ys represent life before and after the Covid 19 pandemic. There is no hidden meaning given to B and U.
The board should also have Bullseye flags placed on stands next to the board, glitter and lighting placed on the Bullseye word, and the board draped in red cloth just like the Chinese New Year door entrance. Hibiscus flowers should also dominate the board to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the formation of Malaysia in 1963. All fonts and relevant information must be in Aharoni font to give the Bullseye name a brand. This will shock the judges, instantly awarding the highest scores to Bullseye.
Pre Sports Events and Sports Day events
Trainings for Sports Day 2023 should be conducted at Panasonic Stadium so that the Bullseye athletes can get used to the location itself. This way, they feel comfortable easily and will win the Sports Day as they're used to running on the cinder track. They should train the full course in order to get the athletes up to speed. Stamina-wise is important so they can run their races. Synchronization should be prioritized for relay races. Athletes must focus on speed and timing in order to produce the best runners for Bullseye. The recommended diet for an athlete are eggs, bananas, sweet potato leaves, fruits that are high in vitamin D and E, and dont forget ginger onions.
Additional Trainings
For Tug of War, train the Bullseye members to pull the rope and get it done quickly. Choose the strongest people using the tryouts method for the athletic events.
For Telematch, train the participants participating to be quicker to complete the game.
For Marchpast, it is best to train the marching squad with the full protocol i.e. marching in, salute, singing negaraku, at ease and stand easy for 20 minutes and march out. It is pointless to do the same drills as it will make marchers uncertain on the commands. Best to train with marching music.
Cheer Competition
Cheer must be easy to say and easy to remember to the point it can be used in daily conversations. It must be creative and reflect the theme of sports day.
Banner Competition
The banner design must follow the same logo font and typeface scheme of Bullseye logo mentioned in notice board plan. Lots of glitter and bright colors must be used to give a good chance at winning.
Dance Competition
Suggested that dance for Bullseye have retro soundtrack and heavy metal music, and also have artistic elements and props as well as convey the history of Bullseye.
WE CAN DO THIS!
WE MUST DO THIS!
WE WILL MAKE BULLSEYE GREAT AGAIN!
