Contest Directors will submit all results to the regional sites via the online Spring Meet Entry System. Make certain that results are open for public review. It is not necessary to fax results to the Regional Meet or the State UIL Office. The District Meet Results online entry will serve as the official entry form for academic events registration.

Failure to meet the deadline disqualified the district teams from advancing as wild cards.

WITHDRAWAL / LATE ARRIVAL / ABSENTEEISM The school of a district winner who cannot attend the Regional Meet must notify the District Director. The District Director will subsequently notify the alternate and the Regional Director.

VERIFICATION / AWARDS / POSTING OF RESULTS / STATE MEET INFORMATION Locations and times of awards presentations will be provided at check-in. Results of academic contests will be posted as reports are made available.

Students, coaches and / or other school officials are urged to attend verification periods and award meetings. Regional meet directors are under no obligation to contact winners with the results if winners fail to attend the awards sessions.

Information regarding the UIL Academic State Meet is posted on the UIL website, www.uiltexas.org/academics. Information packets will NOT be mailed to schools or handed out during the regional meet verification meetings or awards ceremonies, except for LD coaches’ packet’s for advancing LD debaters. Coaches and contestants must go to the UIL website for a tentative schedule, UT parking, UT campus map and other vital State Meet information.

Responsibility for knowing times, dates, and sites of State Meet events rests solely with coaches and contestants. Second place regional teams should also look for the list of wild card qualifiers.

First, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth-place medals will be awarded in all individual events, except LD debate and OAP. Medals will also be awarded to the first and second-place team members in team events. The winning team’s school will also receive a plaque in each of the team/group events.

The school with the highest total points for all academic events will be named the REGIONAL ACADEMIC CHAMPION and will be awarded a regional academic champion trophy. The Academic Champion will be posted on the website on the following Wednesday after the meet.

Two unranked One-Act Plays receive plaques and advance to state.

Students, coaches, and/or other school officials are urged to attend all verification periods.

REGISTRATION On the day of the Regional Contest there will be NO registration headquarters. Coaches and sponsors are expected to have students report to locations at the times listed in the Regional Meet Handbook for their individual or team event. Each Contest Director will have a list of those eligible for that event and will call roll at the starting time of the event.

Accept decisions of officials and judges without protest and extend protection andcourtesy to officials. 4. Regard opponents as guests or hosts while placing personal and / or team integrityabove victory at any cost. Maintain grace and poise in victory or defeat. Conduct that berates, intimidates, or threatens competitors, based on gender or ethnic origin, has no place in interscholastic activities. 5. Provide information or evidence regarding eligibility of any contestant or school to localschool administrators or to the appropriate judicial bodies upon request. 6. Understand and appreciate the educational values of competition and abstain frommodifying or soliciting another teacher to modify grades for eligibility purposes, knowing that such behavior defeats the character-building purposes of extracurricular competition. 7.

At all times, ensure that competition is relative to a more important overall educationaleffort, using competition as a tool in the preparation of students for citizenship and successful adulthood. 9. Ensure that UIL Academic District, Regional, and State Meets receive precedence overnon-qualifying contests or meets. 10.

SCENERY / PROPERTIES With the exception of doors and windows, UIL set pieces will be provided. Please bring your doors and / or windows if needed. Each school will have an area in the hallway behind the stage to store set pieces, props, and costumes. Due to building safety codes, there must be a 24” space between the top of your ‘stack’ and the ceiling. This storage space is near the performance area, so please remain quiet in the hallway.

LIGHTING / STAGE / FACILITY A general diagram of the stage, light plot, and facility is attached. A red and blue wash will be available. The specials indicated on the plot are 26 degree ellipsoidals with a sharp focus and no color; they will basically be down lights. The instruments are operated by an ETC Ion console.

SOUND Sound may be controlled from the sound booth in the house or from backstage. You may input sound from your own digital device, computer, or CD (a player is available). You will need a 1/8” headphone jack to plug in your device. You may also bring your sound cart and system if you like.

DRESSING ROOMS There are three (3) dressing rooms available. If you are one of the first schools to perform, you will need to strike all of your items from the dressing room within an hour after your performance. You may store those items with your scenery / properties until load-out at the end of the contest. As this is near the performance area, please remain absolutely quiet in the hallway. Please leave dressing rooms clean and neat when you vacate them. Please note, NO FOOD IN DRESSING ROOMS; COVERED BEVERAGES ARE ALLOWED.

BLACK BOX THEATRE This theatre will be used as a holding room and space for vocal / physical warm-ups immediately before your performance. A caller will bring you to this space approximately a half-hour (30 minutes) before your set-up time.
