GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS

For Middle School

A. It is the intent of TSA, Inc. to involve as many different TSA members as possible in competitive events and provide recognition in a setting of fair play practices using TSA event guidelines. B. Other than for the VEX event, TSA members, advisors, and chapters must be currently affiliated with TSA to enter any competitive event. C. TSA membership rights extend through the year of graduation. It is permissible for students who graduate midyear to compete at the national conference that immediately follows their end of-year graduation. D. Students must be registered and be in attendance at the national TSA conference in order to enter and become a finalist in any event. E. It is the individual responsibility of each participant to obtain all rules and guidelines for the events. Lack of knowledge or understanding about a particular event is neither reason nor excuse for an individual to request an accommodating adjustment or change. F. It is essential that students and advisors routinely check the TSA website www.tsaweb.org for updated information about TSA general rules and competitive event guidelines. This information is found on the website under Competitions/ Competition Updates. When students participate in any TSA competitive event, they are responsible for knowing of all updates, changes, and clarifications related to that event. The TSA competitive event limit is six (6) per conference participant, individual and team events combined. H. Team members must be affiliated with the same chapter.

31

To enter a team event, the chapter designates only that it is participating; names of the individual team members are not necessary. Unless otherwise designated in a competition’s eligibility guideline, the maximum size of a team is six (6) members. I. Entries (projects and/or products) may be submitted for one (1) year, and one (1) competition only. An infraction of this rule results in disqualification. J. For all entries that require documentation materials (comprising a “portfolio”) secured in a clear front report cover, visit this site for a sample report cover. K. Entries must be started and completed during the current school year. All entries must be in English. Unless otherwise specified, no identifying information—other than ID #—is to be included on an entry. Exceptions to this rule are those events that require content aligned with a school or community (Children's Stories, Construction Challenge and Community Service Video). L. Unless otherwise noted, for all events that requires a display, the size of the display may not exceed 15" deep x 3' wide x 4' high. M. Participants must provide—and bring to the test site—two (2) pencils (sharpened standard #2/HB grade with an eraser or #2 mechanical with an eraser) for any competition that involves the use of a pencil (e.g., for taking a written test, for producing required sketches). N. For all applicable competitive events, citations or references must follow MLA (Modern Language Association) style. O. All entries must be the original work of the student participant or student team. All ideas, text, images, and sound from other sources must be cited (see Rule N above). If copyrighted material is used, written permission must be included. Failure to follow this procedure results in disqualification.

32

P. All competitive events with a semifinalist component will have a minimum of twelve (12) semifinalists. Semifinalists (individuals or teams, as applicable) will compete against one another to determine the top ten (10) finalists in an event. The decisions of judges related to competitive events are final. Q. Students must check in and pick up their event entries at the time and place stated in the conference program, or as announced during the national TSA conference. R. TSA is not responsible or liable for any personal property, equipment or materials brought to the national TSA conference for use by a participant or attendee. S. When an event-scheduling conflict could prevent an individual from participating in an event, the individual has the right to decide which event is eliminated. T. Should a documented emergency arise in team events that involve written and semifinalist segments, team member substitution may be allowed if approved by the event manager and coordinator. U. All events are judged in accordance with the stated event criteria as noted in this competitive events guide. Concern about any event during the national TSA conference should be submitted in writing to the Rules Interpretation Panel (RIP) at the conference. The Rules Interpretation Panel will render a decision at the conference. The decisions of the RIP at the national conference are final. (For more information, refer to Rules Interpretation Panel section at the end of this guide.) V. Hazardous materials, chemicals, lighted or open flames, combustibles, wet cell batteries, and other similar substances are not allowed at the national TSA conference. Competition entries or presentations by participants must not include racial or ethnic slurs/symbols; reference to gang affiliation; or vulgar, violent, subversive, or sexually suggestive language

33

or images. In addition, entries or presentations should not promote products that students may not legally buy, such as tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs. Images of guns, knives, or other weapons are discouraged and may be cause for disqualification. W. Recording devices are not allowed in certain competitive events. CRC manager and event coordinator approval is required before any event may be recorded. X. Out of courtesy to other competitors and to avoid any perception of impropriety, no electronic communication devices of any kind are permitted during competition. Cell phones, iPads/tablets, electronic readers, etc. must be turned off.

Middle School Geospatial Technology

2015-16 Design Brief

Problem The officials of your town are interested in designating an educational public

facility for community residents and tourists that will feature the town’s history.

Information provided at the facility would target historic landmarks, sites of

general interest, and local home artifacts. Challenge Research your town and its history – specifically, historic landmarks and sites of

interest. Based on your research, present a geospatial analysis that shows an optimum

location for the facility, as well as the location of landmarks and general interest sites.

Considerations for the optimum location should include factors such as: open/available

land for the development of a facility; easy access to historic and general interest sites;

and facility size to accommodate tourists. Additionally, your research should

consider routes (in sequence order) for visiting historic and general interest sites,

and access to convenient hotels, restaurants, etc. NOTES:

1. Research should be specific to your town; you may use federal, state, and

local resources (including local archives, interviews with town residents, etc.)

to gather information about historic sites and sites of general interest. For

information about federally recognized historic sites, consider visiting the

National Register of Historic Places, where collections and listed properties

can be found.

PLEASE NOTE: It is essential that students and advisors

routinely check the TSA website

(www.tsaweb.org) for updated information about

TSA competitive events. This information is

found on the website under

Competitions/Updates and Clarification. When

students participate in any TSA competitive

event, they are responsible for knowing of

updates, changes, or clarification related to that

event.

72

GENERAL RULES AND REGULATIONS for High School

A. It is the intent of TSA, Inc. to involve as many different TSA members as possible in competitive events and provide recognition in a setting of fair play practices using TSA event guidelines. B. Other than for the VEX event, TSA members, advisors, and chapters must be currently affiliated with TSA in order to enter any competitive event. C. TSA membership rights extend through the school year of graduation. It is permissible for students who graduate midyear to compete at the national conference that immediately follows their end-of-year graduation. D. Students must be registered and be in attendance with an adult chaperone at the national conference in order to enter and become a finalist in any event. E. It is the individual responsibility of each participant to obtain all rules and guidelines for the events. Lack of knowledge or understanding about a particular event is neither reason nor excuse for an individual to request an accommodating adjustment or change. F. It is essential that students and advisors routinely check the TSA website, www.tsaweb.org, for updated information about TSA competitive events. This information is found on the website under Competitions/Updates and Clarification. When students participate in any TSA competitive event, they are responsible for knowing of updates, changes, or clarification related to that event. G. The TSA competitive event limit is six (6) per conference participant, individual and team events combined. H. Team members must be affiliated with the same chapter. To enter a team event, the chapter designates only that it is participating; names

73

of the individual team members are not necessary. Unless otherwise designated in a competition’s eligibility guideline, the maximum size of a team is six (6) members. I. Entries (projects and/or products) may be submitted for one (1) year, and one (1) competition, only. An infraction of this rule results in disqualification. J. Entries must be started and completed during the current school year. All entries must be in English. Unless otherwise specified, no ident i f y ing in fo rmat ion —other t han ID #—should be included on an entry. K. Unless otherwise noted, for all events that require a display, the size of the display may not exceed 15" deep x 3' wide x 4' high. L. Participants must provide—and bring to the event site—two (2) pencils (sharpened standard #2/HB grade with an eraser, or #2 mechanical with an eraser) for any competition that involves the use of a pencil (e.g., for taking a written-test, for producing required sketches). M. For all applicable competitive events, written work—including research analysis and reference pages—must follow Modern Language Association (MLA) style. N. All entries must be the original work of the student participant or student team. All ideas, text, images, and sound from other sources must be cited, including anything that is from the public domain. References and resources are to be cited using Modern Language Association (MLA) style, the most current edition. If copyrighted material is used, proper written permission must be included. Failure to follow this procedure results in disqualification. O. All competitive events with a semifinalist component will have a minimum of twelve (12) semifinalists. Semifinalists (individuals or teams, as applicable) will compete against one another to determine the top ten (10) finalists in an event.

74

P. Students must check in and pick up their event entries at the time and place stated in the conference program or announced at the national TSA conference. Q. TSA is not responsible or liable for any personal property, equipment, or materials brought to a national TSA conference for use by a participant or attendee. R. In case of a scheduling conflict that prevents a member from participating in an event, the participant has the right to decide which event is eliminated. S. In the case of a documented emergency in team events that involve w r i t t e n a n d semifinalist s e g m e n t s , t e a m m e m b e r substitution may be allowed if approved by the event manager and coordinator. T. All events are judged in accordance with the stated criteria for each event as written in this competitive events guide. Completed official rating forms are the property of TSA, and the information they contain may or may not be disclosed, as determined by TSA. Concern about any event during the national TSA conference should be submitted in writing to the Rules Interpretation Panel (RIP) as soon as possible and preferably during the conference. Whenever possible, the Rules Interpretation Panel renders a decision at the conference. The decisions of the RIP at the national conference are final. (For more information, please refer to Rules Interpretation Panel.) U. Hazardous m a t e r i a l s , c h e m i c a l s , l i g h t e d o r o p e n f l a m e s , combustibles, wet cell batteries, and other similar substances are not allowed at the national TSA conference. Competition entries or presentations by participants must not include racial or ethnic slurs/symbols; reference to gang affiliation; vulgar, violent, subversive, or sexually suggestive language or images. In addition, entries or presentations should not promote products that students may not legally buy, such as tobacco, alcohol, or illegal drugs. Images of guns, knives, or other weapons are discouraged and may be cause for disqualification.

75

V. Recording devices are not allowed in certain competitive events. CRC manager and event coordinator approval is required before any event may be recorded. W. Out of courtesy to other competitors and to avoid any perception of impropriety, no electronic communication devices of any kind are permitted during competition. Cell phones, walkie-talkies, pagers, etc. must be turned off. X. Anyone who wishes to attend the conference must complete conference registration. All student participants, adult advisors, and chaperones must be in attendance for the duration of the conference. Y. Because of the possibility of the controversial nature of topics from which students may select, national TSA bears no responsibility for the content of entries. Topics are selected at the local level and entries are evaluated on the basis of the event’s official rating form. Z. Rules violations and disqualifications: A rules violation that gives a contestant an unfair advantage will result in a twenty percent (20%) deduction of the total possible points. The manager of an event has the right to disqualify a contestant when such contestant violates the spirit or intent of a competition. The event manager must sign off on both a 20% deduction and a disqualification. AA. TSA may choose to keep national TSA conference student entries. Such entries become the property of TSA and ultimately may be used by TSA for promotional purposes. Should that occur, credit for any such entry would be noted by TSA.
