Before E-Week
Registration Race
Each year, once registration opens departments are expected to hype up E-Week and get the most participants to sign up in a short period of time. This period of time is known as the Registration Race. The main benefit of doing well in the registration race depends on the specific E-Week. However, commonly, the rewards for doing well in the registration race is the ability to choose a department's shirt color. Departments are given priority to pick their shirt colors depending on how well they did in the race. The rewards from the Registration Race may vary from year to year.
Clothing Drive
E-Week in its recency has had Clothing Drives run co-currently with the Registration Race or slightly later. Like the Registration Race, this week long event is a method of acquiring bonuses during E-Week. The Clothing Drive takes clothing donations from E-Week participants and tallies them into points according to a mystical formula that changes from year to year. In 2018, the charity chosen to receive clothing from E-Week is DansLaRue. The first place winners of the Clothing Drive receive the Big Blues' Pub hosting privileges, this allows the department to have an extra Blues' Pub and enrich its coffers and maybe splurge on its E-Week participants (bottles?!?). Runner-ups (Second and Third) receive shared Blues' Pub hosting privileges for the mini-Blues' Pub. If by any chance Old Patrol ends up in the top three spots for the Clothing Drive, their Blues Pub profits are donated to a charity of their choice.
During E-Week
E-Week is primarily a competition between the many engineering departments of McGill. All E-Weeks have a particular theme employed to increase hype and energy among participants. The participating teams are:
- Mechanical Engineering
- Civil Engineering
- Electrical/Computer/Software Engineering (ECSESS)
- Chemical Engineering
- Materials Engineering
- Mining Engineering
- Bio-Engineering
- Bio-Resource
- Architecture
Additionally, a group of graduated students and older students known as "Old Patrol" are a part of the competition. Teams win points for a variety of things including winning competitive events like sports, design competitions, and drinking events. Points can also be received in the form of tiered events in the form of pre-drinks and overall rowdiness at night events. Finally, each E-Week has a large list of smaller tasks in the form of a Scavenger Hunt in which teams can complete to their own interpretation and degree. At the end of E-Week, the E-Week Committee counts up the points and the team with the most points wins E-Week and has their team name engraved on the coveted E-Week Trophy.
