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 High individual event entry is $10, $20 for duo/duet. The deadline to register is 5pm Monday, February 26th. Additions and/or drops made after the deadline will have a $10 fee per change. Please make sure students 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 accommodations on Tabroom.com.

Registration will begin at 8 am at 3224 Kavanaugh Blvd, Little Rock, AR. We look forward to seeing you and your team! Please direct questions or concerns to Jenny Moses at jmoses@mtstmary.edu.
