The Role of Competitive Events
TSA offers stimulating competitive events. TSA believes that by participating in thoughtfully designed competition, students learn 21st century skills such as collaboration, perseverance, critical thinking, and problem solving, thereby becoming “winners” irrespective of placement in a competition. Many teachers find that TSA’s competitive events provide an excellent motivational tool in the academic environment.
General rules that apply to all participants across every competitive event are no longer identified in each competition’s guide. Therefore it is critical, and a personal responsibility of each competitive event participant and advisor to read and fully adhere to the TSA Conference General Rules and Regulations.
To access the General Rules document for TSA competitions you must be an affiliated chapter. Then you log into the TSA Membership System and click on the red Total TSA tab.
Examples of Rules Found in the General Rules document:
- The TSA competitive event limit is six (6) events per conference participant
- Entries must be started and completed during the current school year
- Unless otherwise specified, not identifying information, other htan a student or team ID#, is to be included on an entry.
