The Executive Council met in Dallas this past weekend.
With regard to IQT reporting, the following procedures will
be followed this season:
- A fine of $150 plus $25 per day will be imposed and a letter
will be sent to the principal
explaining the fine assessment for persons not submitting
tournament results by the Wednesday following the tournament. The
results will be declared unofficial and points earned
at that tournament will not count for state tournament qualification.
The students from the hosting school will not be able to participate in
the state tournament until those fines have been paid. Once these two
situations are rectified, then both sets of students will become eligible.
- Once tournament results have been submitted and posted on the website,
a seven day grace period will be instituted for any corrections in the results,
including but not limited to spelling changes, name changes, and placings.
Once that period has expired, the results will be declared official and
no changes (except for spelling errors) will be allowed
