- Competitive Event Information
- Objective Testing - Any member may compete in one objective test unless they are competing in another event. However, students in the first place competitive event spot which receives funding MUST compete in the event that they qualified if they want the funding. Funding is tied to event and not to student. For example, if a student places 1st in Business Communication and wants the $65 funding they HAVE to take the Business Communication test they could not opt for any other event and still get funding. They could however, opt to not accept funding and compete in any objective test and the funding would move to the next person.
- All Other Events - We can allow 4 individuals/teams to compete.
- STUDENTS MAY ONLY COMPETE IN ONE INDIVIDUAL/TEAM EVENT AND ONE CHAPTER EVENT
- Registration - Each student will have to be registered for the competitive event that they want to take through the state director. Any student competing, must be designated on the bump list.
