Regional tournaments may not be held on Sundays.4. Detailed instructions for each regional tournament will be sent by the regional manager astournament time nears.

KHSSL Handbook 54 2012-2013/1.1i. Judge Drops after the registration deadline--$100 fine plus hired judge fees for the shortage.In addition, if a judge Drop leads to a school not covering its judge obligation, the school’sentries may be reduced, but the school will still owe ALL entry fees.8. Entry fees for the regional tournament are $5.00 per individual entry and $10.00 per duo entry(Duo Acting, Duo Interpretation, and Improvisational Duo). In addition, a school mustprovide a judge for each six entries or fraction thereof. Each school failing to fill any judgingslots will be charged $65 per judge needed. The names of those serving as judges must also belisted on the regional entry form. Substitutions are permitted, but dropping a judge at any time willresult in a $100.00 drop fee. Again, coaches are urged to obtain commitments from judges beforelisting their names on the form and find replacements when necessary so that judging drops onlyoccur in the most extreme emergencies. Schools may only pay for ONE hired judge at theRegional tournament. The judge drop fees will go to the Regional Manager.9. Students who enter the regional tournament must be able to attend the State Championship ifthey qualify; consequently, only students able to make this commitment should be considered whenfilling out the entry form. Any student who attends the regional tournament and qualifies for, butdoes not attend the state tournament will unless excused for good and sufficient reasons by theExecutive Director, be prohibited from competing in the regional and State Championship thefollowing year. Any school that attends the regional tournament and qualifies students for butdoes not attend the State Championship will unless excused for good and sufficient reasons bythe Executive Director, be assessed drop fees for each qualifying entry and will be prohibited fromentering the regional and State Championships the following year.10. Both junior and senior division students may participate in a maximum of three events at theregional tournament, and the school may have a maximum of three entries in each event. This istrue regardless of how many events a student has prequalified in or if a school has prequalifiedmore than three students for an event. In such cases, students and coaches will have to makechoices. In order to retain their prequalifying status, students who have prequalified for the StateChampionship at a sanctioned invitational tournament must be listed on the regional entry formand must participate at the regional tournament unless excused for good and sufficient reasons bythe Executive Director. Students may not subsequently be used as substitutes at the StateChampionship as no substitutions are allowed at that tournament.11. At the regional tournament, all contestants participate in two rounds. The number of sectionsper round per each event depends upon the number of entries for that event. Sections will breakdown according to this formula:1-7 entries = 1 section8-11 entries = 2 sections12-15 entries = 3 sections16-19 entries = 4 sections20 or more entries should follow the same formula. When more than one section is used, there willbe a different mix of contestants in each of the rounds. Whenever possible, students from thesame school shall not compete in the same sections. If there are less than 8 students in an event atRegionals, all students will advance to the state championship.12. There will be one judge in each section of each round, and no judge shall evaluate the same eventtwice. Each contestant in each section receives a rank (the most effective contestant being
