Dress Code The Tennessee TSA Modified Dress Code will be followed for all regional conferences. Please carefully review this information with students and parents prior to the conference date. Event Entries Due to time constraints, students may compete in a total of three events. In an effort to provide as many students as possible with an opportunity to participate, the number of entries per event on the regional level may be higher than the state/national levels. Detailed information regarding which events will be held on the regional level, as well as the number of entries per chapter, may be found beginning on page 49. Lunch Information regarding lunch options/pricing will be provided by your regional coordinator prior to the opening of registration for your region. Judges If you know of any professionals, parents, chaperones or alumni who may be interested in judging, please send the following information to your regional coordinator (page 9) as soon as possible:  Name  Event(s) they may be interested in judging  Email addresses Cancellations It is important that you notify the Tennessee TSA state advisor if any of your students decide that they will not compete in an event that they were registered for following the registration deadline. This will be important in securing the appropriate number and types of judges. We want to ensure that we protect the time of the professionals and volunteers who assist with judging our competitive events. Refund Policy Because supplies, materials, and space are ordered based on final registration numbers (immediately following the registration deadline), Tennessee TSA is unable to provide refunds for students who decide not to attend following the close of registration. Schools will be responsible for paying for all attendees who appear on the chapter’s registration invoice following the registration deadline.
