Giving Back
ENSŌ is proud to announce that we are an official sponsor for Schoolyard Showdown’22. As part of our sponsorship agreement with Tertiary Powerlifting Union, we will be sponsoring prizes for the meet.
We understand that as a tertiary club, one of the most important things to you is to have your own training equipment for your athletes, and we want our prizes to help you kick start this dream. “Raising the Bar” aims to put a power bar into the hands of the winning club for Schoolyard Showdown’22.
Community
“Raising the Bar” will be conducted through a community fund-raising exercise, with one is to one dollar matching by ENSŌ, up to $200. These funds will be used to purchase gift cards for a power bar and/or other competitive equipment, to the discretion of the winning club.
As we count down the weeks towards Schoolyard Showdown’22, the collection and expenditure of these donations will be reported transparently through our stories each week, for public knowledge. The final expenditure(s) by the winning club will be reported after the meet as well.
Should there be any remaining funds, we will announce the current sum remaining publicly as well. These remaining funds will roll over to the next round of community fund-raising for the next event. In the scenario that these funds remain unused up to 12 months past the initial event of fund-raising, donated sums will be returned.
Rules
The winning club will be determined by the accumulated team points, as written in the rules from TPC’20:
1st Place: + 5.0 Points
2nd Place: + 4.5 Points
3rd Place: + 4.0 Points
4th Place: + 3.5 Points
No Total: – 5.0 Points
If the winning club does not, or is unable to accept the prize, the prize will be passed on to the second place winner, and so forth.
In addition, if there are sufficient funds for a second power bar, the winner will be decided through a lucky draw amongst the volunteers. The volunteers can submit their names and school, for a ticket to the lucky draw. Similarly, if this lucky club does not, or is unable to accept the prize, it will be passed on to the second place winner, and so forth.
