*Semi-complete: this means the LC has complied with all the 6 major requirements but fails to comply with the minor conditions stated for each requirement (e.g. video is beyond 5 minutes, no signature of the Student Affairs head, bondpaper used is beyond the dimensions required, etc.) *YEA Special Committee (shall be composed of the VP Audit and VP Communications for Luzon, Visayas, Minadanao & NCR) ELIMINATION ROUND. The Local Chapter Representative/s will have a maximum of ten (10) minutes to present its Academic and Non-Academic Achievements, LC Activities, Leadership Promotion and Social Responsibility. Another 10 minutes will be allotted for the panelists interview. Only 2 (two) LC representatives shall be allowed to be present upon the panel. Regional Council officers are discouraged to represent the Local Chapter even though those RC officers come from that LC. The scores in interview (which is the 50% of the total score) will be in percentage per category. The total percentage in all categories will be multiplied to the comprised percentage (50%) to get the Panelist Interview score. Only 1 representative shall be entertained by the YEA Committee regarding questions as to the computations of the ratings. He/she may either be one of the presenters of the LCs bid for MOLC. The committee shall not entertain complaints from persons other than those stated above. Three (3) Local Chapters, which garnered the highest percentage in the final score from each category will be selected to proceed to the Grand Finals GRAND FINALS. (Selection of Three Outstanding Local Chapters and One Most Outstanding Local Chapter) The chosen Finalists will be interviewed by the Board of Judges. These judges are different from the judges in the elimination round (or if the same panel, they will present different set of questions). It is also possible that some of the judges from elimination round will retain and to be accompanied by some new judges (those who will be retained would be because they are from our major sponsors). The selection of the winners will be based solely on the evaluation of the Board of Judges. Based on the Board of Judges, one Finalist from each category will be awarded as OUTSTANDING LOCAL CHAPTER and one Finalist from over-all will be awarded as MOST OUTSNDING LOCAL CHAPTER. In cases there are only 3 or less local chapters vying for the position from a specific category, it doesnt have effect on the elimination round. The organizer will still choose the top three (3) from the category. However, the effect will fall on the final round. There is a possibility that none from that

category would qualify as Outstanding Local Chapter or Most Outstanding Local Chapter upon the decision of Board of Judges. Three CONSECUTIVE years of achieving the Most Outstanding Local Chapter will be given proper recognition by placing the Local Chapter to the National Federations Hall of Fame.
