CONTEST DIRECTORS AND PARTICIPANTS

 

Texas A&M University-Commerce is very pleased to have the honor of hosting the annual University Interscholastic League Regional Spring Meet.  This event is an opportunity for the ablest students of Region II-AAA to come together in the spirit of camaraderie as well as competition.  Our role is to ensure that this meet is fun, safe and memorable.

 

The designated administrator of each school who has qualified representatives is responsible for knowing the dates for the meet and the scheduled time for each contest or event.

 

Each school must follow the Spring Meet Code, which encourages all participants to compete in all contests in the spirit of fairness and sportsmanship, and to observe all rules and not resort to devious and/or unethical practices.  Participants should accept decisions of officials or judges, see that officials are treated with respect by contestants, school personnel and laymen, treat their opponents as guests, and put sportsmanship above victory.  Violation of the code may result in probation, disqualification, or suspension of participants or schools.

 

It is the responsibility of the contestants, their sponsors, coaches and/or administrators to obtain contest results.  Please plan to be present for awards for your event or have someone from your school present. Winners’ packets will be distributed during the awards ceremonies only.  The regional site is under no obligation to mail them to persons who do not attend the awards ceremonies.  If a contestant and/or coach or sponsor is not present, the awards and/or results will be mailed ONLY IF A SELF ADDRESSED, SUFFICIENTLY STAMPED ENVELOPE HAS BEEN LEFT WITH THE CONTEST DIRECTOR.

 

If there is any way Texas A&M University-Commerce personnel can be of assistance, or if you have any questions, please feel free to call.

 

Sincerely yours,

 

 

 

Dr. Deb Murray

Regional Director

FEES and NO SHOWS

 

There will be a $12.00 entry fee for each contestant entered in each event with the exception of the One-Act Play, Tennis, and Golf.  For example:  If a student is entered in Current Events, Literary Criticism, and Editorial Writing, the entry fee for that individual is $36.00.  Each district director handles all entry fees for a district and then invoices the respective schools for the amount owed.

 

Specific information regarding entry fees is as follows:

1.         Academic:  The Spring Meet District Director should send the Academic Fees immediately upon the completion of the last academic event.

 

2.         One-Act Play:  This is not the responsibility of the Spring Meet District Director since there will be area contests after District.  The entry fee for the One-Act Play Contest is $100.00 per school.  At the conclusion of the area meet, it is the responsibility of the two advancing schools from the area contest to send in their entries and fees.

 

3.         Athletics:  The Spring Meet District Director should send in all athletic fees immediately upon the completion of the last athletic event, including Golf, Tennis, and Track.  Please send check to: Texas A&M University-Commerce, Division of Continuing Education, Commerce, Texas 75429-3011.

 

4.         Golf:  A $59.00 fee per person is required.  This fee includes the use of range balls at Tanglewood Country Club.  This is already added to the Golf entry fees shown on the next page.  Practice round permitted per UIL rule, but at additional cost.   Practice round fee payable directly to Tanglewood at the time of round.

 

In order to simplify the accounting procedure for regional entry fees, the District Director General for each district represented in Region III AAA will collect and submit the fees for that district.  Please send a single check for all fees made payable to Texas A&M University-Commerce, ATTN:  Division of Continuing Education, Commerce, TX  75429-3011 accompanied by a list of the students participating.  The District Director General will collect the proper fees from each school represented in that district in accordance with the itemized fee schedule listed on the following page.  The names and addresses of the District Director Generals are given on page 7 for your convenience. 

 

Regarding no shows:  A list of absent contestants will be reported to the state UIL office from each academic event.  It is vitally important that you notify the regional director in advance if a contestant will be unable to attend the regional competition.
