1 | Please note this document is subject to change. All changes to the initial release of information will be highlighted in yellow below. Eligibility is how many can compete per chapter. Adjustments are the modifications we make to the competitive event guidelines that apply to our conferences specifically. If competing at National TSA Conference, you will want to follow the competitive event guidelines as written. Themes and Problems for the 2023-2024 year National Events are now available and can be found here. In addition, National TSA releases updates and clarifications for the competitive event guidelines, which can be found here. If National TSA releases an update over the course of the year, COTSA will follow it for the State Conference if applicable, so be sure to keep up-to-date with these amendments to the rules.
