Set Up Team Competitions
Set Up Team Competitions
TurningPoint can enhance group interaction. Team competitions are a fun way to encourage this
interaction. Set up team competitions through the Participant List Wizard. You can create a Participant List
that enables you to assign participants to teams who will compete for the highest score during your
presentation.
You can also edit an existing Participant List and add Groups as teams using the Add Group feature, and
checking the appropriate check boxes next to the Group names.
For participants or teams to accumulate scores, you will have to assign point values to correct answers.
You can even assign points based on how quickly participants respond using speed scoring.
TurningPoint offers several slides to keep track of participant and team point totals and which participants
respond most quickly. Find more information in Creating and Saving Slides on page 35.
