Regional Required Events

These are certainly unusual days, to say the least. As some of you are beginning planning your TSA season, we wanted to share with you the proposed list of regional required events. These are the events that all regional conferences must facilitate. Given that regional conferences will be virtual this year, the list we’ve used in the past wouldn’t work. We took a look at the new event rules, worked with the state officer team to gain a student perspective, and came up with the below list of required regional events. These events were selected for the following reasons: components evaluated during the preliminary round of the event, the number of students potentially involved, ease of timing and logistics, the likelihood of finding judges with the necessary technical expertise, and event popularity. Events that are deemed as required for regionals will also be qualifiers for States for the 2020-21 school year.
