FAQ

Q. Where can I find the contest information packet, schedule, or critique schedules?

Schedules, contest packets and recaps will be posted to the homepage and on Competition Suite.  

Q. Where can I update my Spiel Sheet?

Visit Competition Suite and choose the Organization Data tab for each unit you direct. We pull spiel sheet data on the morning of each contest, so any changes you make will be announced at your next performance. (Pronunciation guides for tough names are awesome! Also we may edit the content for clarity and length, at the announcer's discretion.)

Q. Where can I view the circuit by-laws, contest rules, and timing requirements for my classification?

These and more can all be found at the Forms page.
Some of these documents may be found on the Judges area of this site, or log in to Competition Suite and look for the Resources tab. You'll need to log in first.

Q. Where can I find judges' sheets, panels, or the full WGI rulebook for each classification?

Head to the Judges area of this site, or log in to Competition Suite and look for the Resources tab. You'll need to log in first.

Q. Can I advertise my services, or sell gently used items?

Advertisements may be placed on the Classifieds page. To place an ad, please contact TECA Webmaster Nathan Flynt.
