HighPoint Awards
To further encourage more participation in all NJBS Contests, the IJBBA Board of Directors is offering a $250 cash prize to each HighPoint Individual. HighPoint Individuals are calculated by points awarded for ranking in all eligible activities. Awards will be presented to the HighPoint Individual in each of the following divisions: Novice (Age 7-10), Junior (Age 11-13), Intermediate (Age 14-16), Senior (Age 17-21). Points are awarded based on rank for individual contests. No participation points will be awarded in 2025. Points will be awarded to first through tenth place. For example, 1st place will be awarded 100 points, 2nd place awarded 90 points, 3rd place will be awarded 80 points, etc. In the case of a tie, the highest participated contest will be the tiebreaker.
