1. The contest spreadsheet has changed due to a judging shortage and room re-assignments.
All contestants need to look at their new times and room assignments. This will be the final version.

2. The contest spreadsheet with judging times is LIVE! Toggle at the bottom of the spreadsheet to your category to see your judging time slot. As a reminder, all students must be judged in person during the competition.

3. Each school must provide a minimum of 1 judge that will judge in a different division then the school. Please have faculty sign up on the Judges Registration page, a tab of the Home Page.
