DISQUALIFICATION
Disqualification is unfortunate for participants, advisers, and event managers. To avoid unnecessary disappointment, keep in mind the four causes of disqualification.
- Failure to affiliate with national headquarters by the registration deadline. Only affiliated members may register for the conference and Competitive Events.
- Failure to arrive promptly for event presentation. Participants are encouraged to arrive 30 minutes before their scheduled event presentation and may be disqualified if they are more than 15 minutes late.
- Participation of students or adults in behavior that negatively affects the management of Competitive Events or failure to display a positive image of FCCLA before, during, or after participation in Competitive Events. This may disqualify students or adults and their eligibility to participate the following year.
