Important Notes
- Do not return score sheets to the participants. Instead, forward each winner’s score sheet to the next level of competition.
- The international competition is not in-person; state winners’ score sheets are compared to determine international winners.
- An estimated number of participants should be kept at each level and forwarded to the State Chairman for their information.
