(1) Technical Science Contest and a combination of (2) Leadership Development Contests or Occupationally Related Contests. If not participating in a Skill Contest, individuals may participate in a combination of 3 leadership and occupationally related contests. Individuals may participate in only one Technical Contest.
Region Split is official:
The spit utilizes I-90 as the boundary between the Puget Sound North and Puget Sound South regions. There are a few school districts that are split or boarder I-90 which could make it ambiguous as to which region they belong in. Below is a list of these school districts, and which region they belong in.
| Puget Sound North | Puget Sound South |
| Mercer Island | Seattle |
| Issaquah | Highline |
| Snoqualmie | Tukwila |
| Lake Washington | Renton |
| Northshore | Tahoma |
| Shoreline |
The biggest affect this will have is on our competitions. Puget Sound North and Puget Sound South will have 1st, 2nd and 3rd place officially recognized, and will be separate entities during the selection meeting which determines who gets selected to go to state. The North and South regions will be allowed to host competitions together or separately as long as scoring is recorded as North contestants and South contestants.
An example of this is that the North and South regions will participate in the Regional Leadership competitions together and recognize 1st, 2nd and 3rd place from each region.
If there is an official contest in your region, you will not be allowed to go to the other region to compete. If you have any questions on this please contact your region representative in and how to host a contest.
