NSDA IEs will have only one prelim round. Semis and Finals will be determined depending on the number of
entries for each event. We will offer sweepstakes awards based on squad efficiency to high school and junior
high schools. We will have trophies and medals for top 6 finalists in IE’s for High School and medals and
certificates for Junior High. To qualify for sweepstakes, a minimum of 8 entries is required.

A $25 school entry fee will be assessed. High School individual event entry is $15, $30 for duo/duet. Junior

understand NO ROUND WILL BE HELD TO ACCOMMODATE LATE STUDENTS. In order to promote fairness
and efficiency please follow the judge commitment guideline of one judge per 8 IE entries. A $20 missing judge
fee will be applied for each judge under the requirement. Judges will be offered hospitality for breakfast and
lunch and our greatest appreciation!

Concessions will be provided for lunch and snacks. We ask that no outside food is brought in as this is how we
fund our season. Handicap and gender-neutral restrooms are available. Please note other desired
