ELIGIBILITY Open to all active SkillsUSA members currently enrolled in courses.

CLOTHING REQUIREMENTS Class E: Contest specific — Business Casual • Official SkillsUSA white polo shirt. • Black dress slacks (accompanied by black

dress socks or black or skin-tone seamless hose) or black dress skirt (knee-length, accompanied by black or skin-tone seamless hose).

Contest Clothing Notes (Apply ONLY to Virtual Competitions): • Official SkillsUSA Competition Clothing

recommended but NOT required. • Contestant clothing options include the

following: o Official Competition Clothing. o Trade Appropriate Clothing. o Professional Dress. o Business Casual.

• Clothing must meet industry safety standards.

• No identification of the contestant, school or state is allowed on clothing.

• No offensive, vulgar or inappropriate images or text are allowed on contestants clothing.

• No shorts or sleeveless shirts are allowed. • Skirts must be at least knee-length. • Proper Personal Protective Equipment

(PPE) must be worn by contestant to meet

all state, local and school requirements due to COVID-19.

• Scoring deductions may only be given and/or disqualification of contestant if clothing safety standards are not met.

These regulations refer to clothing items that are pictured and described at: www.skillsusastore.org. If you have questions about clothing or other logo items, call 1-888-501-2183.

EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS Supplied by contestant: 1. Computer with high-speed internet

capability and camera to use applications such as Zoom, Teams, etc. The minimum recommended internet bandwidth speeds for joining Zoom meetings, accessing on-demand curriculum and other online operations is 2.0 Mbps up and down. You can test your current internet speeds by following this link: www.speedtest.net/. Allow the page to load and click on GO.

2. A secondary camera(s) may be required to provide judges with the ability to view contestants from different angles. Additional camera requirements will be located on the SkillsUSA website at: http://updates.skillsusa.org.

3. A contest Proctor will be required to be on site to assist judges. A local industry expert is preferred to serve as the Proctor and shall not be an individual that has been involved with the training of the contestant(s). The Proctor will serve as the onsite “hands and eyes” for the judges. Proctor will follow instructions from the judges for safety and operations related to the competition. Proctor may be asked by judges to perform several tasks such as operating a portable camera to show specific components or steps, measure parts, or any task that will provide judges with information needed to assist in accurate scoring of the contestant’s work or presentation. However, the Proctor shall not serve as a judge nor have any influence on contestant scores.

4. The contestant’s instructor or advisor shall be on site to observe all competition activities to ensure a safe and healthy competition experience for all participants.

That instructor or advisor will not be allowed to interact or interfere with the competitor unless a safety issue arises that requires interaction. Any other support or interaction between the contestant and the instructor/advisor will result in disqualification.

5. All competitors must create a one-page résumé and submit an electronic copy to the technical committee chair at least seven (7) days in advance of the competition. Failure to do so will result in a 10-point penalty. Instructions for submission of the electronic résumé copy will be provided on the SkillsUSA website at http://updates.skillsusa.org.

6. Tools necessary to connect to a router or switch via an RS232 console connection (USB to serial adapter and console cable).

7. Cisco routers, switches and equipment not listed as supplied by the contestant

SCOPE OF THE CONTEST The contest is defined by industry standards as set by the current industry technical standards. The contest will consist of five parts: An end-to-end network configuration, a troubleshooting exercise, a simulation TAC call, a written exam, and a design project.

Knowledge Performance The contest will include a written knowledge exam assessing knowledge of general networking concepts.

Skill Performance The contest may include but is not limited to the following assessments. Design problem — Contestents will be evaluated on their ability to design a network that meets specific requirements. If a network design problem is in use this year it will be posted on the Facebook page and via the SkillsUSA Internetworking Competition page in Remind by the Thursday prior to the competition’s start. End-To-End Networking — Given a set of networking equipment (cable, fiber, hubs/switches routers, etc.) the student must, in a finite amount of time, install or repair a network and demonstrate that the installation properly runs internet applications.

Given a logical topology and network requirements, the students will be able to develop a usable network that meets or exceeds the documentation provided. The vision and context are that client companies would request a demonstration booth that runs a particular internet application, and the student, given equipment and tools, would provide the appropriate connectivity for the application to run successfully. Technical Assistance Call — The student must solve a networking problem while on the phone with a customer. This is a simulation of working in a Technical Assistance Center. Written Exam — The student must answer questions related to CCNA-level networking. Troubleshooting — Contestents will be evaluated on their ability to troubleshoot and correct issues in an already existing network.

Standards and Competencies Note for Virtual Competitions: Contestants may not be required to perform all the standards and competencies listed in this section. However, contestants should be prepared to perform components in all areas. Prior to the competition, the technical committee may determine which standards and competencies contestants will be perform for the virtual contests. The technical committee will determine if additional information is needed for contestants prior to the competition. These changes will be posted on the SkillsUSA Championships contest update website at: http://updates.skillsusa.org.

Additional Information and Contest Updates • For any contest updates, please reference

the SkillsUSA Internetworking Competition’s Facebook page: www.facebook.com/SkillsUSA. Internetworking.

• It is crucial to check Facebook, as we may use it to post work, we expect competitors to have completed prior to their arrival at the national competition.

• Updates will not be posted after the Thursday prior to the national competition.

• Additionally, we will make our best effort to post updates in Remind under the “SkillsUSA Internetworking Competition” class. Due to size limitations in Remind we cannot guarantee everyone will be able to enroll in the class. If this occurs, we will drop all active registrations to purge teachers from previous years that do not need updates for this year. If this happens, please re-register. We will make sure all updates are posted in Facebook – Remind updates will be posted as best effort.
