Classification from the drop down menuThe list is organized roughly in the same order as the classification appears in the official rule book. The list is mostly, but not always, in numerical order.
Adding Individuals
Individual students can only be entered one time into a particular classification.
Adding Teams
For team classifications, please add only one (1) entry per team under the student's name of the team's designated team captain. For example, for team event On Demand Video, under Student Name select the student's name of the team's designated team captain, under classification select HN###, and click save. Adding additional entries for each team member is improper and may cause confusion at your regional contest or the state contest.
This section is required.
Tip: After you click on the drop down list, you can type a letter or series of letters on your keyboard to "skip to" a section of classification numbers. For example, clicking the arrow of the menu and typing "HP" on your keyboard will "skip" you to the beginning of the High School Projects section of the classification numbers.Step 4.1: Select
Level if askedChapter Dashboard software tracks which classifications require level information. If a classification which does not have levels is selected, then no additional information will be required of you.
