IE Regionals and State Finals Advancement
Changes to the advancement process for the 2022-2023 season will be announced/described here. > Pre-bids are now automatically calculated/awarded. You do not need to apply. > Base advancement for Class BCD is now the same as Class A at 24 contestants in every event. #################################################### IE State Finals > The Class A Tournament will have a base number of 24 contestants in every event (except Multiple which is 12), Class BCD Tournament will have a base of 24 contestants (except Multiple which is 12). The base number may increase based on Regional ties & Special Circumstance bids. IE Regionals > The number of students advancing from Regionals to States will be a proportional percentage of contestants registered for Regionals in each event. For example, if there are 36 Storytellers registered across all BCD Regionals statewide and 5 of them are in Region 8BCD (5/36=13.89% rounded up to 14%), then Region 8BCD will advance 3 contestants to States (4 of the 26 slots at States go to pre-bids, 14% of the 22 remaining slots=3.08 rounded down to 3). The minimum number of contestants who advance from each Region is no longer 4, the minimum is 1. > The registration deadline for ALL Regionals is the same regardless of when the Regional tournament takes place. There is no longer any flexibility for late adds. Drops do not affect the advancement percentage. > The IE Regional maps have been re-drawn. The maps also only reflect the schools that participated in 2018 & 2019 and participation may vary from year to year. Regional placement is based on the physical location of the individual school, not the district office etc. > Contestants invitational season results will be used to calculate Pre-Bids to the State Tournament based on their invitational season record. Up to 3 Pre-Bids will be awarded statewide in each class (A & BCD) and in each category based on a formula that weights how a contestant placed at their best 3 tournaments. There is NO NEED to apply. Pre-bids are now automatically calculated by the IEC/staff. > The Pre-Bid system replaces the At-Large process. The only type of At-Large applications that will be considered are Special Circumstances (hospitalization, death in the family, graduation/scholarship obligation, weather). The deadline for Special Circumstance applications is 48 hours after Regionals conclude, > Schools may only enter a maximum of 2 contestants in each category. Contestants who receives Pre-Bids counts as 1 of the 2. |
