District Tournament aka the National Qualifying Tournament and Nationals
Students who cannot compete at the National Tournament cannot compete at the District Tournament. The District Tournament is a double elimination tournament and is very competitive. It is unethical for us to bring a competitor to the District tournament who has no intention of going to Nationals who might knock out competitors who truly wish to compete at the National Tournament. Those who do qualify for the National Tournament must commit to intensive preparation and practices during May and June.
Ms. Engelbrecht and I have already begun the process of selecting students for competition at the District Tournament. Students may only sign up for the District Tournament after they have been selected.
