Event Resources

The State Officer Teams since 2015-16 have gathered these materials to help TSA members learn about TSA events and improve their projects.

General guide

Event Gallery

The event gallery shows past examples of successful TSA projects, along with advice from the teams that created them.

Annotated Rubrics

By understanding how each of your events will be judged, you can better prepare for competition. These annotated rubrics are identical to the ones that appear in the Competitive Events guide, and they are annotated with clarifications, advice, and warnings from students who have previously competed in the events. These presentations will help clarify the event and serve as a guide to you should approach the event.

Disclaimer: These annotations are made by students for students. They are suggestions and clarifications based on our competitive event experiences, NOT a binding ruling from the judges. Rubrics may change from year to year, and judges vary from conference to conference.
