Update to Rulebook
15 days ago
The FY26 Rulebook has been updated to formally codify standard operating procedures for scoring inquiries and judge interactions. These updates ensure transparency and consistency across all events.
Scoring Inquiry and Correction Policy
This policy clarifies our protocol for investigating scoring irregularities and puts it in writing to ensure all issues are handled through the proper channels. The full policy text is available in the FY26 Rulebook, please read the full policy in the rulebook.
Only Chapter Advisors may submit inquiries regarding scoring.
All requests must be sent to [email protected] within 5 business days of the event.
Judge Communication & Competitive Integrity
Strict guidelines now govern interactions between participants and judges to maintain competitive fairness and protect our volunteers. The full policy text is available in the FY26 Rulebook.
Advisors, students, and parents are strictly prohibited from contacting judges regarding scoring results, placements, or feedback. Judges are volunteers who dedicate their time solely to the conference; they do not consent to unsolicited communication regarding their decisions once the event has concluded.
Attempting to determine the identity of a judge (if not explicitly known) for the purpose of challenging results, obtaining insight into a judge's preferences or specific scoring methodology, or any other reason that compromises the integrity of the event is prohibited.
Receiving private feedback or explanations from a judge constitutes a Competitive Integrity Violation. Obtaining insight into a judge's preferences or specific scoring methodology outside of the official feedback provided to all teams creates an unfair advantage for future competitions (e.g., advancing from Regionals to State, or future years).
Communication is permitted only if a judge explicitly and personally invites a student to reach out (e.g., for mentorship or professional networking). In this instance, the student must still obtain approval from their Chapter Advisor and parent/guardian before engaging. This exception does not authorize the discussion of specific scoring decisions from the recent competition.
