The Olympiad Awards

Each participating school will receive an award plaque commemorating its participation in the 2015 Physics Olympiad.
There will be one first, second, and third place team in each Olympiad event.
Every member of the first, second, and third place teams of each Olympiad event will receive gold, silver, and bronze medals and certificates, respectively.
To determine the ranking of the Olympiad Teams, the sum of all team medal points will be computed according to the following point system:
- Gold medal in an event = 500 Points.
- Silver medal in an event = 300 Points.
- Bronze medal in an event = 100 Points.
In the case of a tie, the tied points will be split among teams.
Gold, silver and bronze Championship Trophies will be awarded to the schools based on their highest-scoring teams. Individual schools will receive no more than one championship trophy. If a school enters more than one team and two or more of these teams are among the highest-scoring teams, then the highest team score will count for that school. The trophy plaque will then commemorate all teams from that school that were among the highest-scoring teams.
Additional prizes will be awarded based on availability.
